Target audience: Nonprofits, cause organizations, foundations, NGOs, social enterprises, businesses, agencies, Web publishers.
My pals on the Socialbrite team — John Haydon, Lauren Major and Carla Schlemminger — and I have been kidnapped by Santa Claus! Who’d have thought? For ransom, we’re giving away $2,500 of social media consulting to a randomly chosen organization on Jan. 10.
Won’t you please help us end Santa’s reign of terror? Just head over to Socialbrite’s Facebook Page and enter the Consulting Giveaway Contest. All you need to do is submit your email address and you’ll be entered.
Santa’s elves will be winding down their season by Jan. 10, and the word on the ice floes here (yes, global warming is fer real) is that nonprofits, foundations and organizations that leave a comment — either below or on the Facebook page — about what they’re hoping to achieve with social media in the new year will get a bonus present even if they’re not the grand prize winner.
Tell your friends and colleagues, too! (Any organization or individual from any country can enter.) Please hurry — Santa’s storm troopers didn’t even let us pack our mittens!
So remember:
• Enter the contest
• Win consulting or another prize, for free
• Bring mittens
Update: We’ve escaped from Santa’s clutches but decided to honor our commitment to the nonprofit/social good community. Remember, you can still get $2,500 of free consulting from Socialbrite by entering the contest, which ends mid-day Jan. 10 (Thursday). And tell us below what kind of social media services you’re looking for in the new year. JD Lasica, founder and former editor of Socialbrite, is co-founder of Cruiseable. Contact JD or follow him on Twitter or Google Plus.

@jdlasica I want my company website to have more likes! I’m having a lot of trouble on getting good likes.

Ahoy! The Alaska Marine Conservation Council is looking to rev up our social media presence big time in 2013. We’ve got a great mission, compelling story and swashbuckling messengers to boot. But as a small org, we need to figure out how to amplify our message to reach a broader audience and tap into values in ways that resonate and have lasting impact. We also want to connect more deeply with other non profits, companies, and individuals via social media to share, learn, be inspired and grow together. Protecting alaska’s fisheries on behalf of communities and local fishermen is a big job for wee ill us and we need social media to help!!

@KellyHarrell Ahoy, Kelly! Sounds like a great approach to reach out and enlist a broader audience for your cause. We’ll be emailing some resources your way tomorrow. Hope you have smooth sailing!

At IDEX, we’re looking to expand our geographic reach and pivot a bit on our messaging. We have the foundations of a strategic social media presence and we’re looking to use that to support this branding and outreach push for 2013.

@trenton1 Hi there, sounds like a great undertaking, let us know if we can help in some way.
