Strategy (35)

When I started Good Company Communications eight years ago I had a vision for what the web could do for social causes that came out of my previous 20 years of activism. It really started with Manufacturing Consent* -- the film that pulled me from my "separatist" world of no TV, no computer, and the attempt to exist without plastic, into the realization that we need to BE the media, it's too powerful to leave alone.
I was already working with Mark Achbar during the early days of The Corporation when I started all this, so as to have a way to not only promote the film's launch, but to work on sustaining the desire it produced in so many people -- to get involved, to shape change and to prevent profit over people from prevailing.
As we prepare to send out an e'Zine next week to all our HCW members, I am thinking about the projects we take on and how they interconnect.
Katherine Dodds AKA "Kat" is the founder of Good Company Communications and HelloCoolWorld.com. Trained in renegade advertising & branding through her work with Adbusters in the '90s, Kat's early induction into the possibilities of the web-world was inspired by the term hypertext, which she immediately found comforting. She is dedicated to cause-related communication and to the development and use of tools that promote democratic processes.

This morning, it is, as my friend Terry said last night when I phoned him from the party, a good day to wake up! Hurrah for President Obama, and remember all of you who got him elected, stay involved. That's the only way democracy stays "happening".
