Advicetap Blog

Hey there Cecilia, thanks for dropping by the Advicetap towers…we weren’t really expecting you but now that you’re here have a sip of your coffee and give us a run down of who you are and what exactly you do?

Thanks for having me! I guess you didn’t hear me skulking around in the back— I’m a Ninja, after all! More specifically, I’m the Networking Ninja of Kiwano Marketing, a sustainable marketing agency specializing in online marketing strategies and tools to help spread the word for our awesome clients.

My passion is (stealthily) making new connections; helping companies grow their online web presence by using a combination of public relations and social media. I love starting conversations, so you can easily find me on Twitter, LinkedIn and, of course, Advicetap!

Very cool, Kiwano Marketing sounds like an interesting company for sure! So I know you have an event coming up very soon called NetSquared Camp Vancouver…give us the break down on what that’s all about?

That’s right, this very Saturday, downtown Vancouver will host the very first NetSquared Camp in all of Canada! It’s a full day, unconference-style event bringing together non-profits and social entrepreneurs with all kinds of experts in technology and communications. NetSquared Camp will focus on hands-on learning, practical skill development, and (my inevitable favourite) lots and lots of networking.

In true unconference tradition, anyone can pitch a topic and lead a session. Check out some of cool session proposals we’ve received over the past few weeks. So if you’re curious, join me this Saturday and find out how ninjas do it:

Ninja School: Kicking Ass at Social Networking
What are the top do’s and don’ts for using social media networks as a networking tool? How do you portray your non-profit’s personality online and engage your volunteers, stakeholders, and sponsors? When’s the right time for moving the conversation offline? Join the Ninja for a casual, down-to-earth discussion on practical tips about how to get personable online.

So who is this event targeted at and are Advicetap members welcome?
Anyone passionate about Vancouver’s non-profits or social change should definitely check out this event! The goal of NetSquared Camp is to gather together the tribe who want to support Vancouver non-profits. That includes marketers, writers, graphic designers, video producers, strategists, fundraisers, and strategists. The wonderful community of experts you have at AdviceTap would be able to contribute valuable insights to the seminars and make some valuable contacts in Vancouver’s booming non-profit and social enterprise industries.
