Launching Social CEOs 2018

Today marks the launch of the sixth yes sixth annual Top 30 Charity CEOs on Social Media awards, and we’re proud to be co-founders and organisers once again.

We (not the royal we – I’m talking about us and Social CEOs cofounder Zoe Amar) – do these awards every year because we think the best heroes are people, not organisations.

This is the biggest ever year for the awards. GDPR has changed charities’ relationships with their supporters. Charities have never been under greater scrutiny.

Digital leadership

This year, we’re building on our efforts to highlight great digital leadership in areas beyond the realm of social media.

So we’ve introduced more digital categories for you to nominate people in.

Here are the categories you can nominate in:

Social CEO (ie the top 30, from which we also pick an overall winner)
Best trustee on social media
Best digital trustee
Digital CEO
Digital leader (director or head of)
Best leader on social media
Best digital champion (exec level or equivalent)
Rising star on social media

A panel of the great and the good will select 30 charity leaders (and the sub-category winners above) as the ones bringing the most personality, creating the biggest platform and communicating the most passion of their organisations through their social media presences.

Our sponsors

We’re grateful for the support of our lead sponsor JustGiving with whom the awards are in association, as well Lightful, and TPP Recruitment.

How to nominate

Nominate someone who has shown great digital leadership right here.

“In a sometimes confusing and murky digital world, the guys at Platypus are a breath of fresh air. They know their stuff, they tell us it straight and really care about the work we do together. There’s a true sense of partnership between the Sightsavers and Platypus teams, which makes working together more productive and more enjoyable.”

Ella PierceDirector of fundraising, Sightsavers

"Platypus' social media review was incredibly useful for us. It helped us identify areas for improvement and provided practical recommendations that we could implement right away. The team's expertise and collaborative approach made the process smooth and very enjoyable!"

Sarah CooperCommunications Manager, Motor Insurance Bureau.

“The Platypus team were a dream to work with on this campaign. They clearly didn’t just use a boilerplate approach with us – they were flexible, adaptable, and quick to respond. What’s more, they are true Facebook Ads experts. It was the combination of their approach and expertise that made this campaign so successful. Thanks, Platypus!”
