Full #SaveSelfie Campaign This Week

Hello, My Precious Blueberries!

Because @Comedy4Cast is benevolent and wise, we are now putting some muscle behind the #SaveSelfie campaign. Here's his beautiful post: http://clintonstartsramblingagain.blogspot.com/2014/12/why-selfie-deserveddeserves-better.html

1) We were in the same boat a couple of times, so it makes sense to help this beautiful fandom out. So many religions have urged altruism over the years, that I don't think I need to oversell this one. :D

2) I've been chatting with @bubblewink on twitter. You won't find a nicer person anywhere. Other Selfie fans: @KJslifeisent, @erikalawson90. 
Hey, I'm focusing on campaign details right now, but feel free to jump on this spreadsheet and add your name:
Selfie Fan Name Spreadsheet

3) Seriously, I watched all of the episodes over the past couple of days, and I'm IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW. John Cho and Karen Gillan are pretty closely allied with several of our fandoms. 

Here's this week's campaign overview, from @bubblewink and friends. We've got tweet blasts, email blasts, and one call-a-thon. I've been using Hootsuite lately to schedule tweets, so you could get them ready whenever your schedule suits you. Please post these images EVERYWHERE, to EVERYONE, and tell them it's EVERYTHING:


















And here are five daily images:

December 17th email AND tweet blast:


December 18th, email blast:


 December 19th, email blast and Call-a-Thon:


 December 21st, tweet blast to @warnerbrostv:













My only real advice right now: try to relax and enjoy making new friends. No matter what happens to this beautiful show, AT LEAST WE WERE HERE.

Love,
Catherine

Please tweet #KeepCommunityAlive on Thursday!

Dear Human Beings,

UPDATE FROM DAN HARMON. It's lovely: http://danharmon.tumblr.com/post/85510995369/more-than-a-tweet

While we work out what is fact and what is rumor, Team Community has been mobilizing in the background to try to provide whatever comfort and support we can.

We're tweeting #KeepCommunityAlive this Thursday night, 8pm/7c.

We had some ideas about what to include during the evening's twitter marathon:

  • @Lightening__Bug, who is a devoted Veronica Mars fan, loved their idea of buying DVDs and donating them to libraries. But any place that provided a loving service would be good: shelters, hospitals, you name it.
  • She also suggested we could buy @Subway sandwiches and/or thank the other ad sponsors. If you scroll into this post, please click on West Coast or Houston ad sponsor lists, and you'll get ALL the sponsors for the season. Amazing work from the ad sponsor team, right?
  • From @Supersarah33 and @Comedy4Cast: We could clean out the NBC Store, ONLY if any of you are in the mood to do so. (Except for THAT shirt, lol.)
  • It's not all gloom and doom, okay? @Comedy4Cast would like to remind everybody that there is a lovely CommuniCon (our THIRD fan convention, courtesy of the lovely, unstoppable juggleknob @UhOhMorsheDios) planned for October 25-26 in Glendale, CA: https://twitter.com/comedy4cast/status/465276381408940032

FROM ALL OF TEAM COMMUNITY:
We'd like to celebrate what is good about the fandom and the show. We have so many blessings. We have each other. We'd love to use the hashtag to celebrate each other.

Please, if you can, realize that NBC is in the past now. We have to move forward, and nothing can be accomplished by bashing them or wanting to go back to them, okay? I know it's hard. I think most of us are still in denial.

There is more to come. We're waiting for official news before we mobilize further, okay? We are 100% invested in doing whatever is humanly possible to help.

We will always be a Community.

With love and gratitude,
Team Community

Day 3 of Official campaign: Tweet #sixseasonsandamovie at Noon PDT/3pm EDT!

Dear Greendale,

UPDATE: Check out Mike Schneider's TV Guide #sixseasonsandamovie article! 
http://www.tvguide.com//News/Community-Donald-Glover-1080807.aspx

We're in full swing all week with a major campaign. We expect to make some noise. This is an official campaign, and it REALLY counts.

The campaign release today is coming of a fellow fan's twitter account, and it is humbly dedicated to ALL Community fans. (Big shoutout to Team Community!) Without you, there never would be #sixseasonsandamovie. Here's the kickoff tweet: 

https://twitter.com/violincatherine/status/459044052336254976

Please tweet #sixseasonsandamovie at noon PDT/ 3pm EDT today. This campaign will be going on all week at noon PDT, every day through Friday.

Here are some links, but it's probably good if you schedule 10-20 tweets on Tweetdeck or Hootsuite right now. I'll redo the links today to match today's fan-released artwork:

Dear Greendale,

We're in full swing all week with a major campaign. We expect to make some noise. Um, I don't see how NBC can ignore us, can you? (Psst: they are actually watching us! :O)

Please tweet #sixseasonsandamovie at noon PDT/ 3pm EDT today. This campaign will be going on all week at noon PDT, every day through Friday.

Here are some links, but it's probably good if you schedule 10-20 tweets on Tweetdeck or Hootsuite right now. I'll redo the links today as the new artwork goes up at noon:

Here's the Big @Subway Thank You Campaign!

Dear Human Beings,

Here are some beautiful Subway campaign images from @Our_Greendale:
https://storify.com/violincatherine/the-current-subway-campaign

As you may know by know, Subway is doing a product placement throughout the last two episodes of NBC Community. Fans of our former NBC network brother, Chuck, secured an additional season with weekly sandwich purchases and VERY loud twitter noise.

Our sixth season isn't secure yet.

SO...

At the VERY least, please tweet some sweet thank you message to Subway, including these words at the end: "@Subway #SubwayCollege #UncountedCommunity".

Sample tweet:
https://twitter.com/violincatherine/status/454123296624095232

OPTIONAL:
If you have the dough (pun intended), you could buy a sandwich and take a picture of it, then tweet it to Subway. Here are some image examples from @Gurty (all images, except for the bottom logo from @Our_Greendale, are from her):














@Gurty is the QUEEN of Vine videos, here is her @Subway series:
https://twitter.com/gurty/status/454409149313740800

https://twitter.com/gurty/status/454411249179447296

https://twitter.com/gurty/status/454410308162183168

Vine videos, art (who cares if it's perfect, we like stick figures around here), or anything Subway related will be included in a special gallery later.

So, how about it, Greendale? Let's honor Chuck and give Community a more solid footing in this Nielsen wilderness, shall we?

GO GREENDALE, GO GREENDALE, GO!
#sixseasonsandamovie

xoxo,
@ViolinCatherine, working with Team Community

Tonight's Community Hashtag is #MeowMeowBeenz!

Dear Human Beings,

Here is the artwork for tonight's hashtag, #MeowMeowBeenz, starting at 8pm/7pm Central. We're giving away TWO signed posters again tonight to anybody tweeting on the hashtag, and all International fans ARE eligible! Please follow @Our_Greendale for more information; we'll draw one name each from the East and West Coast airings.

If you can, please tweet our ad sponsors as they air tonight. Twitter visibility is worth a LOT of money to our sponsors. Current #GreendaleGivesBack ad sponsor campaign information is here (Many thanks to @Lightening__Bug):

http://savecommunitynow.blogspot.com/2014/03/greendalegivesback-ad-sponsor-charity.html

PLEASE NOTE: The Fannibals are tweeting #EmbraceTheCulture to thank @Yoplait this week, so if we use our hashtag #GreendaleGivesBack AND the Fannibal hashtag and unite BOTH fandoms this week, it would be really wonderful. Even one tweet helps us, so please don't need to feel you *must* purchase anything.

Here's a fun Nielsen stunt, too. Try to get these images out across Facebook, on your personal timelines, AND on Tumblr. (Many thanks to @Our_Greendale):

http://savecommunitynow.tumblr.com/post/78768342335/dear-human-beings-please-share-these-images-on

Let's go, Greendale. We're LEGENDARY. We've GOT THIS.

Love,
Team Community

I don't know either, but it looks HILARIOUS. 

#GreendaleGivesBack Ad Sponsor Charity Campaign


This post and campaign is from Masarath, aka @Lightening__Bug, so you know it's good! Also, please be aware that Hannibal fans (Fannibals) are running a Yoplait campaign this Friday, so feel free to jump in with the hashtag #EmbraceTheCulture for that one!

Community has given us a lot over the past 5 seasons. We figured it's time to give something back. So we're inviting Community fans everywhere to join us in our Greendale Gives Back campaign. And there may be a prize in it for you.
Here's what you need to do:

1) Make a charitable contribution involving one of our ad sponsors. You can donate cans of Progresso soup to a homeless shelter, or maybe drop your change into the boxes by the register next time you go to McDonalds or Wendys. Take a look at the ad sponsor lists, see what you can come up with. (Here are the ad sponsors for different regions: http://savecommunitynow.blogspot.com/2012/03/nbc-community-32212-ad-sponsors-also.html.)

2) Tweet the sponsors about what you're doing. Make sure to use the #GreendaleGivesBack. Here's an example tweet:
@GeneralMills thanks for your ads during #Community. I'll be donating cans of Progresso soup to a local food bank #GreendaleGivesBack
You don't need to include a picture or a Vine with your tweet, but you can if you want to. Here's a Yoplait example from @Gurty: https://vine.co/v/MKxlgb20QP7

3) If you can't make a donation right now, you can still help the cause by spreading the word. Just send a tweet using #GreendaleGivesBack and include a link to this post.

To make things fun, we'll have a giveaway later in the season. Prizes are TBD! (Is that new?)

If you make a twitter post that is not charity-related, please use @UhohMorshediOs's hashtag, #UncountedCommunity.

#SIXSEASONSANDAMOVIE!

Love,
Masarath
(and Catherine)

Tonight's hashtag is #AbedsLesson; we have signed posters on a giveaway too!

Hello Human Beings!

The official hashtag for tonight is #AbedsLesson; the artwork is attached.

We're also giving away TWO signed posters tonight, one for the East Coast and one for the West Coast broadcast. Requirement for eligibility is to tweet #AbedsLesson during broadcast; global fans are eligible.

We've got some fun things in the works for you guys, so stay tuned!

Love,
Team Community

#AbedsLesson is not about Nicholas Cage this time!

Tonight's hashtag is #CorkageFee, and I'm offering a prize!

Hello Greendale!

The official hashtag for tonight is #CorkageFee. When you tweet, please also include hashtag #Community for proper Nielsen twitter count. Please post the image at the bottom on all social media forms, and spread the word! We're got Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly) and Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds) as guest stars tonight; so we should get a LOT of curious extra viewers.

I'm giving away one special prize package from my personal stash (purple pen, #WatchCommunity gum canister, squeeze ball), to say thank you to Sony's syndication wing:

https://vine.co/v/Mz7O7JtwOzq

2 requirements for winning this prize:

1) Follow (or be following) @WatchCommunity on twitter
2) Tweet #CorkageFee during the 8pmEST hour (and, as @douchebaggette pointed out, 3 hours later on the West Coast. Thank you for the gentle reminder!)

I'll pick the winner randomly.

You can schedule your 8pm tweets in advance, too. We've got three hours!

We'll be watching for ad sponsors as usual. Follow @Lightening__Bug, @JenniferWorthen, and @UhohMorSheDios for tracking, and @Greendale_PR and @Greendale_PR_UK for ad sponsor thank you activities.

Tonight, I'm also giving out 5 purple pens that @Comedy4Cast gave me to distribute to CommuniCon livestream participants. Overseas is fine; step up and be counted!

Yours,
@ViolinCatherine

Say Goodbye to Troy with this icon and #BonTroyage

Hello Human Beings!

Brief recap of recent fan teamwork to thank ad sponsors (Post photos and Vine videos thanking ad sponsors by name on twitter; every little thing helps us): Ad sponsor thank you project

We have 3 hours to get this information across the Internet, okay?

NBC and other *cough* people have their eyes on us tonight, so let's make a strong fan pitch so we can shoot for #sixseasonsandamovie!

We need #BonTroyage to go across twitter. Please also use #Community so Nielsen can see us clearly.

Take the icon below with these two hashtags, and please form teams of people to do the following tasks, in order of importance (if you need any help, there is a team of us standing by: @Lightening_Bug @Naive_Steve @Greendale_PR_UK @CDulaney85 @Applextree @Violincatherine):

1) Post the icon on your personal facebook stream, plus any fan pages you may have.

2) Post on the Community subreddit and upvote that sucker like crazy.

3) Post on Tumblr and get a team organized to help reblog.

4) Post on Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and any other place you hang out a lot online.

Here's the icon, to go along with #BonTroyage and #Community:

#TroyAndAbedNowInReruns is a real hashtag, darlings. *sobs*

Love,
@ViolinCatherine













Thursday, January 9, 2014

Please help us thank the ad sponsors!
