Urbanists Social Media Strategy Call

A couple weeks ago I attended the Strong Towns National Gathering and I attended the sessions on "Not Just Noise: Using Social to Move People" and "Building Strong Towns Awareness Through Digital Media." I’m really excited to put what I learned into practice with our Strong Towns Local Conversation here in Dallas, and I’ll need all the help I can get! Here’s a general outline of what we’ll discuss during the call:

• Overview of Dallas Urbanists’ social media channels
• Assign volunteer managers for each social media platform
• Strategy and ideas for posting content on each channel
• Strategy and ideas for engaging with comments and direct messages
• Strategy and ideas for interacting with elected officials on social media
• Strategy and ideas for growing our audience

Although I’ve come back with a lot of ideas from the national gathering, this won’t be a one-way conversation. Please feel free to share your ideas or feedback either during the meeting, in this email thread, or as a comment on the meeting slides.
