Email sent. Suggested a deadline of January 12th for Sponsor Information to commence work on announcements.
01/29/2024 - spoke to sponsor about announcement. Point of contact is gathering the information and flagged that the announcement will need sign off from the Marketing Communication Dept. This may add a number of weeks.
Emailed Analog to let them know that we will add them to our InnerSource stories when they have an article/blogpost available that they would like to share.
Analog will respond with content when they are ready to be added to the InnerSource in Action page.
Checklist for new Sponsors:
Gathering contact details, logos and information from new sponsor
Once a new sponsor is confirmed, an email address for a key contact will be shared with you by the Executive Director. At this point, you will be in charge of gathering the information needed for ongoing communications, updating the sponsor and content for ISC announcements.
Update the 'New Sponsor Announcement Slide' for forthcoming announcements on social
When we post on social, we use a slide welcoming the new sponsor. This slide can be found on our canva site. You will need edit access for this site. The slide is used on our announcements on LinkedIn and on X. It can also be shared on the Executive Director's slack announcement to the general channel. Depending on the size or shape of the logo, the slide may need to be tweaked slightly.
Update the sponsors slide for Community Calls and events
We also use a specific slide that displays all our sponsors. This slide is used at the beginning of all our Community Calls and events and any other recordings. The updated sponsor slide must be used at the next ISC Community Call or relevant event.
Writing announcement content
An announcement using the 'New Sponsor Announcement' Slide is made on LinkedIn and Twitter. Once that content is posted, the Executive Director (or President) will make the announcement on the general slack channel and include links to the two social posts. This needs to be drafted and signed off before the sponsor's logo and information is added to the website.
Update the Website
Follow the steps below to add the sponsor's logo and company name to 'Our Sponsors' webpage (https://innersourcecommons.org/about/sponsors/).
Update community channels and social media
Ideally, the social posts will happen on the same day that the sponsors page is updated. The posts that include the new sponsor announcement slide should be scheduled in the following order:
Update new sponsor on Announcements
Include in the next Newsletter
Update new sponsor on Newsletter Announcement
