sounddelivery and the Third Sector PR and Communications Network hosted a Q&A session with Sally Flatman, the producer of the BBC Radio 4 Appeal. She talked about what makes a successful appeal and how she’s now using social and digital media, such as Twitter and audio slideshows, to extend the reach of the Appeals beyond the radio audience.
For this year’s London Advice Conference, organised by advice UK, Citizens Advice, Law Centres Federation and Lasa, sounddelivery was employed as “conference reporter” to capture interviews with key speakers and delegates and create a highlights report of the day. The interviews were uploaded to AudioBoo and tweeted out over the course of the day allowing Twitter followers of the conference to engage with the content.
