What does it take to execute an effective social media campaign? How does it dovetail with traditional media strategies, and what tools are specifically helpful to the faith community? Meg Biallas from the nonprofit Shepherding the Next Generation will outline characteristics of a social media campaign using examples from the Blue Sunday campaign, which mobilized churches to recognize a national day of prayer for abused and neglected children.
