Soita Mummolle


The power of social media!

This week I had two very positive feedbacks about Soita Mummolle and about my choice of experimenting with social media and guerrilla techniques to create the campaign.

First, I posted a call for donating crochet hearts to Soita Mummolle on Ravelry.com, a social network fr crocheters and knitters. Result? Already 4 people contacted me asking for the address and encouraging me for the campaign. People from US, Australia… who still were feeling this issue so near and wanted to give their contribution! These awesome hearts will be used in our guerrilla campaign, they will have even a more special meaning now… totally rad!

Second, I received a batch of supporters pictures holding the Soita Mummolle sign from Jyväskylä: I don’t know any of these persons, so it was a totally energizing surprise to receive their pictures! They printed the SM from Flickr and took photos with it… I couldn’t hope in anything more grassroot-cool than this! By the way, you can see the pictures, taken by Inkery Kautto, on our Flickr’s photostream.

Soita Mummolle FTW!

And now I will be happily offline for Midsummer’s celebrations – in the middle of a finnish forest haunted by mosquitos! Back online on Monday, and I hope to see some new faces next Wednesday, for Soita Mummolle Street Action #4 (go to our Facebook page for the usual details and signing up).
