Buzz Video Marketing: Participating in the Internet
It's always been difficult for nonprofits to wedge their way into the viral internet marketplace, but now that large companies are getting into the fray, the field is the most competitive it's ever been. Every day, big marketers are getting better and better at disguising their advertisements as fun, quirky videos, and theirs are endorsed by Beyoncé with music by Skrillex or John Williams or some other young punk. But, as this panel will explain, nonprofits will always be able to do it better. By participating in the internet and all its trends, memes, and communities – not harnessing them – nonprofits can not only reach countless more people, but improve their branding as well with bold, efficient videos.
