It's not enough to build a Facebook Fan page or throw an account on Twitter - you need a strategy. And if you're not using an integrated approach, with email as part of that strategy, you're probably missing out on some huge opportunities to develop deeper engagement, identify superactivists and superconnectors, and use a network-centric approach to grow and cultivate your community more efficiently. Join Alan Rosenblatt, Associate Director of Online Advocacy at Center for American Progress Action Fund, Garth Moore, Internet Director at 1Sky, and Justin Perkins, Director of Nonprofit Strategy at Care2 for a discussion about cutting edge integrated social media strategies . Alan will discuss some of the latest techniques he has used for building community and cultivating superactivists at the Center for American Progress, and Garth will share a case study of using Care2's new Social Network Tracker Data tool to rapidly grow 1sky's Facebook and Twitter fan base via email campaigns, and identify and cultivate some of the highest-performing activists - both online and offline - in the process.
