Flash Philanthropy & the Schwaggin’ Wagon: Social Media Vehicle

My latest post on the Schwaggin’ Wagon site is about Flash Philanthropy. In this post an attempt was made to provide perspective on what we engaged in during the conference and in the days leading up to it. Beyond our obvious intentions–reclaiming items that would be wasted or unused, as well as drawing attention to the practices of the promotional and marketing industry–my team was a living, breathing example of social media outreach, social media collaboration, small group collaboration, and even some ad-hoc practices. We embodied the practices and attitudes we ask our clients to exude, and we did it rather non self-consciously. I am so proud of what this team accomplished that I will probably use this example for years to come. The question now is: What’s next? The team is in discussion on this, and we are open to listening to the needs of conference attendees everywhere.
