Nominate the best charity CEO on social media

Today marks the launch of the fifth annual Top 30 Charity CEOs on Social Media awards.

This is the biggest ever year for the awards. A panel of the great and the good will select 30 charity leaders as the ones bringing the most verve, passion and profile to their organisations through their social media presences.

We – that’s us and cofounder Zoe Amar Communications (read Zoe’s piece for the Guardian on the awards) – want shine a spotlight on the best digital practice happening in the sector, and hold it up as the examples to follow.

Digital leadership

In 2017, we want to do more than highlight who’s doing great work on social media – we want to recognise great digital leadership in other areas too.

The awards shine a light on great individual digital work, the people who are living digital values via their social media presences and commitment to digital change.

Here are the categories you can nominate in:

Social CEO
Trustee on social media
Leader on social media
Rising star on social media
Digital CEO
Digital leader (trustee, director or head of)

Our sponsors

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

How to nominate

Nominate someone who has shown great digital leadership right here.

We’ll be announcing the winners first at our awards do on Thursday 16 November, then online the next day.

“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.
