HelpsGood to Develop Strategies to Inspire People to Give, Advocate and Volunteer
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/03/12 -- United Way and the Ad Council selected HelpsGood, a leading social media agency, to develop and implement strategies in support of their LIVE UNITED campaign. The campaign's focus is to mobilize communities to give, advocate and volunteer to improve the building blocks of a good life and advance the common good. Launched in 2008, LIVE UNITED inspires and encourages people to partner with United Way by becoming more involved in their own communities. The campaign focuses on education, income, and health.
HelpsGood will develop an overarching strategy for the campaign across United Way Worldwide. Collaborating with the Ad Council, HelpsGood will outreach to bloggers, grow United Way's social networks and create a social media toolkit for ongoing implementation.
"We're thrilled that this is the first social media program the Ad Council has coordinated on behalf of the LIVE UNITED campaign," said Ellyn Fisher, the Ad Council's VP of Public Relations and Social Media. "While United Way is already active in social media, I'm confident HelpsGood will help further develop their growing communities."
"We're excited to help shape United Way's social media strategy as it develops into a truly social organization," said Michael Bellavia, HelpsGood's President.
