Excellent use of social media Meningitis charity |
|
Yesterday we were asked if we’d run a social media workshop to the charity sector by a local government department and so when the video below popped up during a spot of general business lead generation today I took a closer look. Please retweet me let me post … brilliant ;)Words lifted from their YouTube post "Release Me", the 43-year old classic sang by Engelbert Humperdinck, has been reworked as a social media anthem performed by a 30-strong Drybrook & District Male Voice Choir. The"Release Me" lyrics have been re-written to include major social networks, iconic digital brands including Facebook, MySpace, Google and Twitter. "Release Me" was a hit for Engelbert Humperdink in 1967 when it reached number one in the charts and remained there for six weeks. More than 40 years on and the new version has its tongue firmly in its cheek. Meningitis Trust YouTube Channel Clicking on the Meningitis link takes you to their YouTube channel which they created in Sept 2009. It looks like they got the rhythm over Christmas 2010 when they launched this great video. 19,586 views as we speak … let’s help that get re-tweeted … Popped over to the main site and they are starting to use social media really well … www.meningitis-trust.org Love the www.dunkathon.org I know one lady who might help ‘em with that, she a champion dunker … or is that drinker ;) |
