The Small Business Guide to Effective Social Media Marketing
Posted on 24. Jun, 2010 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Events, Social Media Strategies
I’m excited to be presenting this workshop for the LEAD programme at the University of Salford.
I’m a recent delegate of this innovative programme of leadership and management training for small business owners (graduated yesterday) and can’t recommend it highly enough! It changed my life, as I blogged after attending a Ruth Badger Masterclass on sales put on by the programme.
What follows is copied from the event publicity:

Social media is no longer a fad. Many recognise that with the ubiquity of broadband access speeds in excess of 2MB, consumers are now capable of sharing significant amounts of content with others online at little to no cost.
The ability to post video, images and text to social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and social media platforms like blogs, Flickr and YouTube have enabled web users to become multi-media publishers in their own right.

Landing a Twestival of Sky High Ambitions – MancTwester, a review
Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Events, Social Media Strategies
Manchester Twestival 2010
Despite the rather grandiose title, this blog post is a rather short review of last night’s scintillating Manchester Twestival event.
I’d been really looking forward to it as last year I wasn’t able to make the very first MancTwester, despite helping out behind the scenes in the run up to it and providing items for the charity auction because I had to fly out to Nigeria for my gran’s funeral.
I heard great things about MancTwester Twestival 2009 on my return and the funds raised for charity:water, the charity that particular event was in aid of speaks volumes of how successful it was.
Manchester Twestival 2009 raised £3500 on the night, part of the £174,899 ($250,000) raised for charity:water through the 200+ simultaneous fundraising events that took place around the world on February 12, 2009.
Twestival has inspired a number of social media powered fund-raising ideas not least 7 Wonders in 7 Days, the epic round-the-world charity fundraising project I’m involved in that aims to raise £777,000 for 7 charities through a transatlantic dash to see the new 7 wonders of the world in 7 days, with 7 strangers in tow!
I’ll share more on the exciting developments with 7 Wonders in 7 Days in another blog post. You can follow mine and the 7 charities plans by following the Twitter account or Facebook page.
Back to MancTwester 2010.
This year’s Manchester Twestival set out to be bigger than last year’s. From current reports, it was, beating the total raised in 2009 by over £500 pounds.
All funds raised go to Concern Worldwide, an international humanitarian organisation dedicated to reducing suffering and ending extreme poverty
It was a top night. The MancTwester charity auction, presented by Byron Evans of the sadly missed ‘TV channel for Manchester’ Channel M and featuring an incredible list of items donated by the Manchester community made for much conviviality.
I’m still miffed I missed out on the tickets to the fabulous FuturEverything conference in May.
Here come a couple of short videos from the event.
The first is a short clip of the Paper Aeroplane Flight Off, sponsored by event sponsors bmibaby, Manchester Airport and KMP Digitata.
The other is a short clip of the live music on the night. Please name the band if you can… Can’t remember what they were called. Cheers!
Katie Moffat, event organiser tells me that the band were called Rook and Ravens.
Where you there? What did you think?

The Case for Manchester Open Data City and the Joys of Courting Corporate Philanthropy
Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Events, Social Media Strategies
Here come my notes from Tuesday’s Social Media Cafe Manchester event at the BBC’s offices on Oxford Road.
I’ve been a big fan of Social Media Cafe Manchester since being invited to be on the ‘panel of bloggers’ at the very first event in November 2008. Whenever I can I try to blog about each ‘#smc_mcr’ I attend, after the event.
