Fox Appointed Media Trust Volunteer Champion

Posted January 24th, 2011 by Ben Fox. 1 Comment

Towards the end of 2010 I was extremely proud to be appointed by Media Trust as a Volunteer Champion – I’m in good company too, with the opportunity to work with the likes of Kamal Ahmed, who is the Business Editor of the The Sunday Telegraph, Dean Russell, a Director at Digital, Fleishman-Hillard and Basi Akpabio the Creative Director on The Africa Channel – check out the full list of Volunteer Champions here

Media Trust itself is a charity organisation operating across the UK (and abroad) helping charities and social enterprises gain access to media and marketing support by facilitating media/marketing expert volunteers.

It’s a great organisation, with some top top people involved and the charities and social enterprises they work with really do benefit from being able to access and work with professional marketing folk to help communicate their key messages in a more productive manner.

I’ve been involved with Media Trust since June 2010 and I’ve found it a truly worthwhile experience. I’ve met plenty of industry contacts, worked with loads of local and national charities and social enterprises to deliver a range of projects including a full rebrand to building a new website to advising on an organisation’s social media strategy.

Above all it’s been good for my soul. I’ve been able to make a difference to these organisations and hopefully in turn it will help them make a difference in their particular area.

By becoming a Volunteer Champion I will be helping Media Trust to increase its presence across Yorkshire and the North, promoting its services to charities and social enterprises and helping recruit more media advisors to the cause (you can sign up here to be an advisor).

I can’t let this opportunity go without mentioning the next Media Trust event to be held in Leeds.

It’s ‘Speed Matching’ (think speed dating with charities on one side of the table and media advisors on the other) on February 9^th (6.30pm) in Leeds centre. We still need a few more advisors so if you feel like cleansing your soul and imparting some of that marketing know-how then please give me a shout.
