Could this work in our club?
- Mobile-first local audiences, younger adults, community partners and existing followers who engage with vertical visual stories. Use when a project has a natural sequence that can be shown safely over several episodes.
Before you start
- A frame-by-frame plan with purpose, fact source, rights, on-screen copy and destination.
- Vertical media captured under specific consent without sensitive location or routine data.
- A secured account, response roster and accessible transcript or companion page.
At the end: Send featured contributors the saved version, answer genuine replies within two business days and remove expired highlights during the monthly rights and facts review.
