Contact Theatre Manchester's Contacting the World 2010 - A pioneering, international theatre exchange project, supercharged by social media
Just a quick blog post to share a couple of YouTube videos created at Contact Theatre Manchester’s Contacting the World 2010 launch late last month.
I’ve previously written about managing the digital and social media strategy for Contact Theatre on their biennial international theatre exchange festival for young people aged 15-25.
LinkedIn Debate: Web Designers Should Provide Social Media Training
Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Social Media Strategies
Friday’s blog post suggesting that social media training should be provided by web design and development companies seems to have struck a nerve on LinkedIn.
Shouldn’t Social Media Training Be Included With Web Design Services?

The rather provocative title comes from recent experience on an interesting project with a brilliant new client.

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.
Introduction to Social Media for Media Professionals
Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Events, Social Media Strategies
I’m pretty excited about this! Starting next month, on Wednesday 10th February to be precise, I will be running a new social media training course aimed squarely at the media industry in the North West.
The new Introduction to Social Media for Media Professionals course, designed specifically for digital media professionals considering use of social media within media projects, builds on Real Fresh TV’s success with the UK’s longest running ’social media for beginners’ course: the Social Media Starter Course.
Along with an assessment of workable strategies for developing multi-platform content, the course concludes with an introduction to the rigours and demands of creating content for multiple platforms.
Read on for details of the course and how to register. (more…)

Hello Real Fresh TV blog, it’s good to see you!
It’s been nearly 10 weeks since the last blog post and though I must apologise profusely, that’s actually a good sign. I’ve had my hands full working on a number of things one of which is a rather exciting digital media/social media training project that will be launching in early 2010.
Social Media Starter Course – Tuesday 27th October, 9:30am – 12:30pm
Posted on 18. Sep, 2009 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Events, Social Media Strategies
It’s been a little while since the last Social Media Starter Course but I’m pleased to announce there’s one scheduled for Tuesday 27th October 2009.
Real Fresh TV’s innovative Social Media Starter Course was developed over a year ago and launched in October 2008 as the first dedicated Social Media for Beginners training course in the UK.
It has proven incredibly popular, with academics, marketers, PR companies, photographers and even non-profits attending over the course of the year.
Attendees even requested a more hands-on follow up course, the Learning Social Media By Doing Course which has since been developed.
Here’s some of the fantastic feedback the Social Media Starter Course has received:

Amongst a raft of new project developments for Real Fresh TV (more on this on the soon-to-be unveiled new website!), a number of significant developments have taken place in the burgeoning social media industry relating to charity fundraising I feel I most post about.
