For All Your Eyes Only: Communicating Secrets at CIA

Sunday, March 13
11:00AM - 12:00PM

JW Marriott
Salon 1-2
110 E 2nd St

“Are we or are we not a clandestine organization?” “Don’t you think social media is just a fad?” “What could CIA possibly Tweet?” These are some questions CIA’s Public Affairs office faced before launching @CIA. Since then CIA has proven a government intelligence agency can be relevant, innovative, and informative on social media despite the constraints of secrecy. CIA’s social media team will share lessons learned on: how to overcome organizational reluctance to engage new audiences, and how to avoid the pitfalls and reap the rewards of social media platforms. We may even reveal the identity of #CIACat.
