In my new role as social media coordinator for CIPR Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, I have advised that initially it creates an open Facebook group to share more information with its members and non-members.
To be honest, it’s not the most exciting item of social media/group to look at just yet (we only have 12 members as I write) as we still need some good official CIPR content to be added but it’s a start and it’s an organic thing, which means we can all begin to post items and provide updates to each other.
The group is open to anyone interested in PR in the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire regions, they don’t need to be members of the CIPR, just interested in communications.
The group will enable the CIPR to share knowledge, news, events, media coverage, blog posts and interesting videos.
It also has a notice board so its members can use it as a forum and ask questions of other members.
I am hoping this will mean that more younger non-members get to hear about the many events the CIPR is organising across the region this year.
Other interesting CIPR and PR Facebook groups include:
- Wolfstar’s
- Leeds Met PR Graduates
- Young PRpros
- Green Communications
- PR Networking Group London
