Social Media and Marketing

Linktree site - Linktree is the site where multiple links can be hosted for our social media sites (Instagram, Facebook). 

• Go to the www.linktr.ee website and login with the admin@navgames email and password - navigation-maps-2024!

• Add and delete links, reorder them by dragging them up and down

• These links will be what show when people visit our bio on our socials 

PHOTO POLICY AND PROCEDURE

Verbal and written permission must be provided for all photographs at any and all Navigation Games programs and activities. No photos should be taken of minors without written permission from a parent/guardian, custodial adult (i.e. camp director or teacher) or without the signing of a waiver (photo release is included in all Navigation Games general waivers). 

• At public events, all participants must have a signed waiver. Included in these waivers is a photo release. However, if a participant asks that their photo not be taken, no person shall take or retain a photo of them.

• Before all private programs/events (school groups, scout groups, etc) permissions for photography should be clearly and explicitly defined between client and Navigation Games staff. If no permission is granted, no photos should be taken other than those of NG staff and equipment setup or general landscape. 

• All photos taken should be taken with the intent to preserve the dignity and humanity of the subject(s)

• If a participant asks for their likeness to be removed from any promotional materials (physical or online) NG should take steps to immediately remove said image from public view and remove it from internal organizational storage (Google Drive and phones). 

• Any photos where permission has not explicitly been given should not show anyone's identifiable likeness

• At all times, NG should strive to protect and respect community members. Individuals may have reasons not to have their likeness shared including but not limited to: being undocumented, being involved in a No-contact Order or domestic violence dispute, general privacy concerns, etc. "Ask yourself: “Could my photo cause harm to the people or communities represented?” (Ethical Global Photography Guidelines- University of North Carolina)

• Only images with NG copyright or original content should be used for marketing purposes to avoid copyright infringement including those images generated by AI

Below is outdate information - but we may be able to use it again in the future.

Back in 2019 or 2020, we had these social media/marketing procedures:

• All social media and marketing requests should go through this form, staff or volunteers assigned to it will be able to receive email notifications (they have to opt in for it) about responses, which they can see here. The form covers deadlines, captions, corresponding files, etc.

• The responses spreadsheet, "Communications/Marketing Requests", also includes a section where log-ins are linked, marketing/comms procedures are outlined, and helpful links to places in our Drive are also linked.

• I've created a promotions@navigationgames.org group email for marketing purposes, where I've added emails of partners who have requested that we send them flyers or info about upcoming programs. Rather than sending 10 emails, we'll be able to send one.

Let me know what you think if you have a chance to take a look, as well as any feedback or suggestions.

I've explained this process to @Shoshana Klein and @Peter Traver who will be taking over social media and marketing. Working on doing similar streamlining for outreach.
