Just a quick note to mention that Amnesty International Australia are hiring – from the AIA team:

AIA is recruiting! We’re looking for an experienced, energetic digital marketing professional to help us with our ambitious growth objectives. The role is responsible for designing and implementing online initiatives to recruit, retain and mobilise supporters. They need to be a whizz at copywriting, e-comms, design optimisation, SEM, SEO and social media — plus a bit of a data geek.

More information about the position is on the AIA site.

P.S. yes, we’ve been quiet this year – we’re chatting about what’s next, and will post here once we know more…

Sydney October Meetup

Grant — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:45:33 +0000

I’ve been remiss in not posting the announcement to the blog also, but the next Sydney meetup is tonight at the usual location:

The Rose Hotel, Chippendale
52-54 Cleveland St (cnr Cleveland and Shepherd)
Chippendale, Sydney

In addition to our usual chit-chat and catchup, Seb Cumberbirch from Amnesty will talk about their recent Butterflies of Hope campaign.

He will provide an informal insight into how the campaign about, the challenges they faced and “a smattering of stats” in Seb’s words – a great launching pad for further discussion.

For Facebook peeps, there’s an event set up with details (and RSVP).
