Non-profit and social media tools

Tomorrow, HRW Toronto Network will be hosting the DARFUR CAN'T WAIT event at the Spoke Club.

As one of the only marketers on the committee, I took it upon myself to use free online tools like facebook, upcoming, my blog and registration tool, eventbrite to promote the event.

It was seriously brilliant. Although we were a bit late going live - we are officially sold out. We have 4 great sponsors on board and 103 attendees. whoo-hoo!

Of course, the pre-success of this event was not only due to the social and web tools we used...but I can for sure say, they certainly did help.

PS. Google docs is a dream come true for sharing files when FTP servers are not at our disposal. ;) ...free too!
