We were advised by the centre they had tried to call but were not getting through. So we took the conversation back to her ‘space’

Elefriends – how we built our online community
Eve Critchley @EveGwendo
![Page 29: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Where it all began...
![Page 30: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Ele’s early success • More than 4,000 friends within a year • A truly peer-led, 24-hour community • ‘Elefriends’ becoming ‘real life’ friends and meeting offline
![Page 31: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Ele in action...
![Page 32: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
But… • At the mercy of Facebook – “We don’t like the timeline” • What if I don’t want to use my real name? • No control over content/data • Moderation = reading every post • Facebook doesn’t look like ‘us’
So, we asked the Elefriends…
![Page 33: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The theory…
![Page 34: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How we did it…
![Page 35: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Don’t neglect online…
![Page 36: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Pulling it all together… • Identify user stories – “Don’t make me read lots of dos and don’ts”, “Don’t
define me by my diagnosis” • Prioritise – what does the community need to exist at all? • User personas – unaware to passionate

Laura Ward 36 years old, from Chelmsford, Essex “I used to go to a drop in at my local Mind and recently set up a Facebook group for
people like me who struggle with bipolar. Although I still have bad days, I’m beginning to feel more confident and hopeful about the future”

I feel very lucky to know Ele. I was there when he was born, watched him take his first few steps in the world of Facebook and now I get to see him move out of home and into his new little palace.

What does your community look like?
![Page 42: Successful social engagement – separating the noise from the news](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052913/55d558d0bb61eb3b3f8b45a5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Choose an engagement level – unaware, interested, first timer, regular, passionate
• Personal statement – ambitions, passions, outlook on life • Motivation – why do they want to use this? What problem will it solve? • Goals – what will they do? What will success look like? • Bonus question – how can you engage them in designing your community?
Exercise
