Research for a Social Media Campaign

ksburns71 — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:48:00 +0000

I’m fascinated by social media campaigns that use the power of the people to raise money for a non-profit. I was particularly impressed with the ReMind campaign described in AdWeek. I’m curious about the research behind a successful social media campaign. I’d love to work with a non-profit and have my research students conduct the necessary research for such a campaign and then participate in raising money in the process.

Here’s one article I found with some good ideas.

PR Research classes generally teach the standard survey and focus group methods. I’m exploring new methods or new twists on old methods–all with an emphasis on social media. Any ideas would be appreciated. I’ve added an ethnography project that involves taking and posting photos or videos, a social media monitoring project, a focus group blog project, and an interview via Skype project.

I’m teaching research methods this summer and writing (or trying to write) a paper about incorporating social media into a research methods class. Any literature about social media assignments would be helpful as well.

Ideas from other professors are here (I’m looking for more links to add):
