2. TLF Social Media Campaign
Think Local First is taking advantage of its talented membership to institute a social media campaign. The objective of this campaign is to build a strong local economy by helping to make the Think Local First message ubiquitous within Santa Cruz County.
TLF's social media campaign is being headed by Judi Oyama of Maximum Impact Design (www.maximumimpactdesign.com). Judi is directing UCSC Economics interns Anna Mkhitaryan and Amy Adonis in the development of Facebook and Twitter campaigns for TLF. Following are comments from Anna and Amy: UCSC Intern Anna Mkhitaryan on http://www.facebook.com/thinklocalsantacruz
My name is Anna Mkhitaryan, I am a Marketing Intern for the Think Local First Organization. My current project involves working closely with the Steering Committee in order to increase awareness of the benefits of buying locally through the means of social media. I would like to invite all of the participating members to help reinforce our goals of supporting locally owned businesses and creating a strong community by "liking" our official Think Local First page on Facebook as well as featuring it on your front page. Thank you for your support.
