It’s getting loud! That’s us, your PR team
Alba (Spain), Beatrix (Ireland), Sophie (UK), Cat (UK), Olivia (UK) and Teresa (Austria)…… SAY HELLO!
We are Earth.org’s megaphone… trumpet… ghettoblaster… we are telling the world about Earth.org. And there are so many things to say.
Today is D-Day in PR, we start sending out a general press release containing the aims/goals/the heart of Earth.org. We have collected many contacts (bloggers and journalists who focus on travel, travel industry, travel 2.0, web, crazy new ideas and projects, etc); till end of January we hope to get 1.000 emails out to a very targeted audience. Our goal: Get as many articles and posts published as possible!
While we’re at it, we have created a social media news release, that YOU can push as well, simply by re-tweet, bookmarks, stumble upon, digg, friend feed, share on Facebook, technorati, or on your blog. We need EVERY posted link to create awareness!! Please help:

What’s next: In February we will focus on remote work, in March the Ambassador program will be pushed. The general Earth.org topics will go out throughout the upcoming months, of course modified with cool new features!
Oookay, we get loud now. Let’s do it!!!!!!!!!

PR UK meeting with Sophie and Olivia
-
teresa
et voila, here some news from our UK PR team:
- both are working well together on entering the UK student market. They contact different universities and student magazines. Aside they are sending mails to “gap year students” – young people who take a one year break to travel around before they go to university – and there are a lot! They ask them to report their experiences on Earth.org. Furthermore they are looking for new volunteers – Sophie is going to publish another article in “The Knowledge” – this time focusing on volunteering @ Earth.org.
- Olivia is researching websites for elderly people – the silver surfers – who actually do travel a lot – and use the Internet heavily for booking and research. She’s planning to start contacting these people in her hometown – and evaluate the results so that we can start thinking of a nation wide strategy for the silver surfers.
- super cool news: Olivia and Sophie managed to get us a stall at a nation wide volunteer fair in UK in February 2010. We will have a “Earth.org table” where they present Earth.org’s volunteering project – and distribute handouts, business cards,
@Rob the girls told me that they can print a poster at their university quite cheap – they will send me a list of what they’d need to build a nice Earth.org stall
@HR would be perfect to have a complete overview on what kind of volunteer positions Earth.org is offering. I will send you an email on that!Emily, our new PR UK manager, has excellent contacts to different kinds of offline/online media in the UK; she is responsible for contacting them. We will meet this week and see where to start!
That’s it for now! we will tell you about the results

Enjoy your evening all.-

Great work Sophie.. nice start for press releases..
teresa
hey all, I am working on finalizing CC text (thanks @Cat for final editing) and some more copywriting stuff in the static pages.
- The UK PR team (Cat, Olivia, Sophie) is working on some really cool strategies. More to come soon! Happy to have you girls on board!
- remote work is our next big issue! we have a release done and will spread it via several channels!
- redesign and change to CC is another big issue, will communicate that in a newsletter, etc.
Things moving fast these days
Yay
-
cat
no probs! Agree, our UK PR team has a lot of ideas and energy. But we could still do with more PR peeps, if anyone knows anyone….who knows anyone..!?!
-
Anne
no unfortunately… the three we had are not replying…
-
teresa
Cat and me are talking to Olivia, who wants to join in as a PR volunteer
-
teresa
Oookay, most likely we have new support for the UK PR team! Really cool! And Olivia has some good ideas in mind: what about the elderly people? She told us that she knows many retired people who actually travel a lot – and they are Internet literate – cause they already book all their trips online! And the main thing: these people are experienced, they know so many places – and they have lots of time! She’d be really interested to start thinking about introducing Earth.org to a new age group. Let’s see. I like the idea a lot.

cat
Me toooo! talking to the ‘silver surfers’ a really interesting area for us!

Good meeting with @teresa just now. We now have a template of email copy which volunteers can use when they are sending out the factsheet press release to media or blogger contacts…and I’ll be working on a PR resources blog post to help our student volunteers navigate the www!

Hi everyone. I’m Sophie, I’m 19 and I’m a second year Marketing student at The University of Plymouth in England. I am aiming to have a career in either advertising or PR and so I thought that getting involved with Earth.org would be a great opportunity for me to get some experience. Also I love travelling so Earth.org is something interesting and fun to do. My job will be to focus on the UK student market and also to recruit other volunteers. Being quite new to the world of PR I am open to any advice or suggestions from anyone to help me learn the ropes. I’m really looking forward to working with you all and contributing to a really good cause.
Sophie is responsible for the student market in UK. Last week she had a great start by publishing a blog post on the Student UK social network.
Let’s spread the word. Let’s tell the world about Earth.org.
You can help us as well! If you are a web communication/PR student, journalist or passionate writer, you can become the PR manager (volunteer) in your country or region. We are looking for passionate people like you who have communication skills and know the media and blogger landscape in the place where you are based.
Join in, become part of a growing network and global PR team. We work together. We learn from each other. It’s a great chance for all of us!
