Communication Strategy
Note: If you add anyhing here you should also add it to the ‘Marketing checklist’ issue template
Channels to contact with project updates
If you’re planning to contact organisations about a project update, open a new ‘marketing blitz’ issue in Github and follow the template/checklist to keep track of who you’ve contacted. Write a different pitch for each of the following categories, then copy to all.
Internal channels (FOK)
- Mailing list (general) (mention campaign in newsletter)
- Mailing list (campaign-specific) (provide text to share on social media)
- Github Issues (for discussing campaigns)
- Project board (for organising tasks)
- Project email (info_at_freeourknowledge.org)
- GoFundMe (for donations)
- Google group
Slack(pretty much defunct due to inactivity)Google doc(for discussing campaigns, now superceded by Github)
