Social media template for Contribution Events

[murillol]

To do

• Produce a poster-style template which could be used on social media to highlight Make WordPress teams at Contributor Days/ WordCamps.
• The template must be customisable with pictures, hashtags, Twitter account names for the relevant WordCamp.
• When a poster template is ready, an accompanying blog can be used to share its availability. A draft has been started but will need info on how to use the template.

Objective

• This poster will help promote the different teams present or involved at a WordCamp/ Contributor Event.
• To help raise the profile of the teams and to give a human face to encourage people to come and ask questions of how they can get involved/ onboarding/ meet Team reps attending events.
• This is initially aimed at the Marketing Team in the first instance.

Done: published on the Marketing Blog and available as a template to use.

Original Task Leads:

• @abhansnuk (marketing) and Raffaella Isidori (design)

Timeline 20 September 2019 This was created on Google slides with the changes, to be reviewed with the help of community. This needs a follow up. Abha to ask designer/ marketeer who worked on the transfer and redesign if she has received any feedback.

9 January 2019 Abha: The designers continue to work on this and testing is ongoing to see if Google Slides can be a suitable tool for people to adapt the template to use their own picture. It would be free and accessible to use on this platform, and the template could be available on the marketing Google Drive.

Commitments to some WordCamps in December etc and the holidays have naturally delayed this slightly. Will report back when the template is back from the designers. We thank Raffaella and colleagues for their ongoing help and expertise, and for exploring the best way of creating this template so other teams could adapt it too.

• Number of options looked at, using Canva, in keeping with previous meeting suggestion and to give more information to the design team
• Initial draft Twitter mockups created and circulated on the channel to try and capture what could be incorporated, check editing requirements and ease of adding images
• Very positive feedback and useful additions suggested on hashtags to include
• Discussion on how styleguide colours and WordPress logos can be incorporated into templates for use on free versions of Canva or similar poster sites or if templates could be made available on the Google Drive and easily customised there.
• Raffaella and Abha to consider at this in mid-November 2018.

22 October 2018 First Draft from Abha. Marketing team meeting suggestion: the template could be saved on the team’s Google Drive. Question asked: Could it also be linked to from its Trello board or the handbook?
