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.

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.

T-shirt: Mark Wigan creation on sale at NOISE Lab
I really enjoyed last Thursday’s launch of the NOISE Lab, a ‘guerilla arts pop up store’ nestled opposite the Orange Shop and next to Boots the Chemists right on the Great Manchester High Street aka Market Street.
Situated in the former Shelly’s footwear outlet, next to Schuh and in prime shopping centre real estate, this incredibly bold 6 month long ‘experiment’ is born out of the national NOISEFestival.com project, an online community where young creatives in film, music, visual arts and many other creative disciplines develop and showcase their (first, in many cases) online portfolio.
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.

Posted on 26. May, 2009 by Chi-chi Ekweozor in Trends
Regular readers of the Real Fresh TV blog will recall that last summer I spent a fair amount of time live blogging the b.TWEEN 08 conference.
A veritable cornucopia of digital, marketing, media and future thinking, b.TWEEN08 was a pivotal event for me last year and led to lots of great meetings, friendships and collaborations that have since pushed Real Fresh TV forward.

Put on specifically in response to requests by attendees of the Social Media Starter Course for a more practical follow-up course, the half-day workshop was aimed at giving beginner to medium level social media users a hands-on introduction to social media tools.
