Anecdote
Reflection
Using Digital Stories

about• Change the public’s perception on an
issue• Use internally for education, alignment
on goals, mission
Editing Session

• Create a digital story from “What Matters Most to Me”
• Would like to screen it together after lunch
• Will be working together to reflect on the process, provide feedback
Story Screening: Reflections
“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.”
Branding and Marketing Video Stories
What is a brand?
What does that have to do with public health/non profits?
• More than just a visible identity-logo, name• It’s that “gut feeling” people have about
your organization• More than personality—it’s what you care
about, who you are, what makes you different, special
• Serves an emotional, social and functional need
• Usually all about what’s being sold-an experience
• Focuses on value, personality and message
Private
• Is a tool that influences perceived costs of engaging in health promoting behaviors
• Brand object is voluntary health promoting behavior
• Influenced by factors of demand, competition, and timing
Public Health
A brand…
invisiblePEOPLE• Same thing here• What is the value, personality and message?
What’s your organization’sbrand?
Value + personality + message
Take a few minutes to brainstorm and then we’ll come back together and share with the group
• 2011 Cisco study: 91% of web traffic by 2013 will be driven by video
• Video accounts for over 50% of web content added every day
• But don’t do video without a plan!
Marketing your video/digital stories
• Be strategic
• Strategies matched to purpose, targeted audience
Some go-to types of videos-shareable!!:
• Impact stories: First person, testimonials of the change, difference your org has made-why you do what you do
• Movement stories: what inspires action
• Vision stories: the world you want to create
Getting your videos out there:
• Integrating videos across all channels
• Can you provide opportunities to “subscribe” to your channel on YouTube, Vimeo?
Measurement
• Yes there are metrics like “views” but be flexible!
• There’s also comments, engagement, calls to action
• Have them be a conversation starter not just an end of themselves…tie them to your larger communications plan, and objectives
Publishing Your Video Story Online
• YouTube• Facebook• Twitter• Vimeo• LinkedIn• Website• Emails
Vimeo:
• Has a different “feel” than YouTube so may be appropriate for different audiences
• Can help foster community, social relationships and networking
Posting Videos on Facebook:

Best Practices for Videos on Facebook:
Create content people can interact with and share
Distribution Plan Activity
Expand Your Web Presence with Videos
• Url at end of video• Embeddable so others in your tribe of
supporters can showcase
Use relevant, meaningful tags
Use a call to action overlay
Connect viewers to URLs that provide details on your story
Don’t be shy about submitting to venues like doGooder NonProfit Video Awards
Enter contests, festivals etc
Don’t be afraid to use humor!
Thank You!
