Brooke Hahn’s Session
11:15 a.m.–11:30 a.m. PT — Wednesday, December 10, 2025
Government agencies do great work, but too often, it gets buried. This talk will explore how small comms teams can use existing social media, photos, and resident posts to visually show impact, build trust, and connect with citizens, without needing to start from scratch every time.
Instead of defaulting to press releases and long updates, we'll look at how to repurpose and display existing content (including resident voices) in ways that boost visibility and civic pride.
Takeaways include:
-
Why traditional communications (press releases, PDFs, static updates) often go unseen
-
The value of “showing, not saying” in public communications
-
Sharing examples
-
How to surface existing social posts from departments or staff teams
-
Guardrails for moderating and approving content safely
-
Small steps to start: one campaign, one feed, one improvement
-
How this builds public trust and saves comms teams time
