The Big Agency

We attended the Tech for Good Live Funding event at Hyper Island. At the event we took control of the social media platforms, I was responsible for recording the event to Facebook Live and Alicia for Periscope. At the event we listened to four speakers from different charities and their experiences with Tech for Good, as well as tips and advice on how to start up your own project. Halfway through the event my phone ran out of battery meaning we were unable to film the whole talk continuously - from this I have learnt to bring a portable charger with me to the next event. We are yet to arrange another meeting with Rebecca albeit, the next event is a live podcast recording and Christmas Party at Night and Day Café on the 13th of December where we will again be responsible for all social media platforms.

Week seven of the big agency, we met up with Reason Digital's Head of Strategy & Insight Rebecca Rae on the 17th at Common Bar on Edge street NQ. At the meeting we were told about recent development in the Tech for Good offices as well our improvements on the Facebook page. We were also told about the next event "Tech for Good Live Funding" on the 22nd at Hyper Island and asked to take control of all social media platforms on the night including Periscope and Facebook Live.

We attended the meeting with Reason Digital on the 24th October and presented our initial pitch to them. F rom this, we were told that they wanted us to focus on creating a Facebook page for the campaign and to improve their existing YouTube channel – our primary goal being to get more podcast views. We attended their Tech for Good event " Tech for Good Apps and Mobile " later on in the week. The event gave us a greater insight into how Tech for Good work, including new apps and designs as well as the kind of community they attract. We also benefitted through networking with both the audience and other members of staff.
