Social Media, Fortresses and Free Agents with Danielle Brigida of National Wildlife Federation

If you’ve been around the non-profit social media scene for any amount of time you’ve probably heard of (or even met) Danielle Brigida from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). As the Digital Marketing Manager at NWF she responsible for running NWF’s social media program – Yes, the one that’s been talked about all over the web by such publications as USA Today, The Nonprofit Times, Fast Company, Washington Post, Mashable, GreenTalk Radio, and Fundraising Success Magazine.

Danielle was on a panel at SXSW led by Beth Kanter where they talked about “Free Agents and Nonprofits in a Networked World.

After their session I got some time to talk with Danielle about the world of social media for non-profits. Right around the 5 minute mark is where Danielle stats sharing about Fortresses and Free agents. Prior to that we’re discussing who NWF is, how NWF uses social media, and Danielle’s roll in the day to day operation at NWF.
