SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SOCIAL GOOD: CAUSE MARKETING & YOUR BRAND
How can we effectively use social media for good? Danielle Ricks, Head Storyteller and owner of a boutique media company, Danielle Ricks Productions, helped us answer this question at last Thursday’s Global Viewpoints Forum on Zoom. Ms. Rick’s informative and thought-provoking presentation introducing “cause marketing” inspired a lively conversation in the Question and Answer period, where participants asked how they could tailor cause marketing strategies to their own projects. This conversation provided an apt segue into the next part of the session, where Ms. Ricks provided valuable and in-depth expert feedback on two participants’ social media pages. The energetic discussion continued long after, with the majority of participants staying on for networking and more conversation after the talk. Danielle Ricks experience includes Entertainment Producer at Walt Disney Co., Director of Corporate Social Strategy at MGM Resorts International, Digital Media Consultant for the United States Department, Broadcast Producer for ABC, CBS, and BET. Ms. Ricks holds a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Howard University.
