As my public relations program at Centennial College comes to a close, I look back on some of the things I've learned this year that I'm proud of. The biggest would probably be the social media campaign my group and I came up with for our social media and social networking project to affect change. Our baby is called "PostLove."
Our group entered in the "What's your Intent" competition held at school, and though we may not have won the competition (that included Mallika Chopra as one of the judges), we are still incredibly happy with the outcome. With the recent attacks on Rebecca Black, and headlines such as "Cyber bullies create then kill fake boyfriend in Facebook hoax," our group decided to make a campaign to targed cyber bullying. And so we did.
We created a twitter page. Our objective was to gain three followers on twitter every day, and much to our delight, we have been gaining three followers a day!
There really isn't a need to use the internet as way to maliciously attack another person/group, which can lead to emotional, physical and mental effects on the victim.
So join us on twitter @PostLove to combat cyber bullying and post love rather than hate! As we stated in our presentation "no matter where you are in the world, you can make a difference with a post!"
