This campaign was an incredible success with over 800 participants learning about the power of Tribes from Seth Godin; being inspired by the Shanachies to use videos to promote, market and advocate for their libraries; learning about Word of Mouth marketing, fundraising and mobile marketing at the Marketing Boot Camp; exploring the power of strategic storytelling at workshops and webinars and creating a digital story as part of this contest.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

You have inspired us.

We hope we have inspired you as well.
