USI campaigns on Facebook
! Constantly looking for ways to engage their community and put it on stage
! It looks spontaneous, but it is carefully orchestrated
! Make it as easy as possible for your audience to participate (e.g. distribute postcards with the moustache for #USIMovember, provide a camera)
