TRTP Vice President guest lecturer at The Ohio State University

Mendenhall Laboratory, The Ohio State University

TUESDAY, March 18 :: Honored to be invited as a guest lecturer at The Ohio State University, TRTP Vice President Sonya Yencer spoke with students at the John Glen School of Public Affairs in a non-profit management class. 

She shared her experience in marketing a 501(c)(3) from the ground up with little to no budget, focussing on how social media plays a huge part in that strategy. Students watched TRTP videos from Tell Collective and Physicians For Peace and surfed through TRTP's online presence as part of the presentation. She talked about the challenges of growing the organization without a paid staff, fundraising and cultivating volunteers. Students asked great questions and sparked some new ideas for The Red Thread's outreach team.

What a great opportunity to share real world experience with the young adults interested in the non-profit world! Thank you Kim Ratcliff and The Ohio State University / John Glen School of Public Affairs for allowing us to be a part of the class for a night.

HAITI :: Video accolades!

We have exciting news to share! 

Do you remember the beautiful video that Tell Collective (formerly BE Productions) shot for us, visualizing the story of The Red Thread's work in Haiti? We just found out that the video won an Addy in the Public Service category in 2012! 

What's an Addy you might ask? Per the American Advertising Federation's website: "The ADDY® Awards honor advertising's best & brightest. The awards represent the true spirit of creative excellence by recognizing all forms of advertising from media of all types, creative by all sizes and entrants of all levels from anywhere in the world." 

We are humbled that our work, so beautifully captured by Tell Collective, won this award. If you haven't seen the vide or just need a refresher, please watch. 

Here's the story behind the video and the men who made it happen.

Bob, director extraordinaire

Al and some of his assistants!

A heartfelt thanks again to Tell Collective for their work on this dynamic piece!
