Video interviews: how do you successfully implement a CRM at your nonprofit?

CRM is hard! So before you choose a database why not learn from other organization’s difficulties? (and wins!)

Darren Barefoot interviewed Alexis Stoymenoff and Elena Iñurrategui. They’ve confronted all sides of the CRM question: from within orgs and as consultants to them. Viewers will gain wisdom about when to adopt a CRM and what questions to ask to make the right infrastructure decisions for their organizations.

Want more? Here’s the Q&A session featuring Brenton Walters (whose interview was, sadly, lost.)

Net2van’s free events are possible because of the consistent support of partners like iATS Payments, the Vancouver Community Network, Techsoup Canada, and NTEN.

Slides and Video: Content is Queen: How to Rule the Video Story World

Net Tuesday Vancouver

This event is the first in a series of eight monthly meetups focusing on Video for Nonprofits. We will cover everything from strategy to hands-on editing workshops between now and March 2014. Please join us!

Allanah Mooney from Lionheart Productions provided an overview of content planning, development & management, with an emphasis on video.

Through practical examples from a multi-year video campaign, Allanah shared how to plan, create and gather visual & narrative assets, how to organize and store them, & how to repurpose content for multiple audiences, occasions & delivery methods. The audience learned the importance of curating good content, and the role of content in audience engagement & revenue growth.

This presentation will appeal to those looking for a longer-term strategy for their video and other storytelling assets.
