Paul de Gregorio, Director of Digital Engagement at Open, shares amazing messaging + fundraising examples

Wow what an episode! We're chatting with Paul de Gregorio. He is the Director of Digital Engagement at Open - a full service creative agency in the UK that also builds messaging technology. Paul is a true believer in the power of messaging and he's also designed and executed amazing messaging campaigns for organizations.

I edit every podcast after recording it and when I re-heard Paul's description of the Break Through Breast Cancer campaign, it blew me away. It is a perfect campaign in the sense that all parties involved receive value and it works better on messaging than any other channel out there. It seems very simple, but it takes great strategy and planning to make it seem so simple.  http://opencreates.com/2012/10/you-know-right/
