Guidance: Organising

Online communications

A powerful story, told well, can change history.

Incredible Edible is a movement for change and so our action, growing in public places, is always accompanied by our story. Our what, is accompanied by our why.

Social media and online communication can change the minds of whole nations to imagine a different future. How we look and sound makes us part of our worldwide movement.

Incredible Edible Brand Guidelines

Sometimes the online world is a place of trolls and negativity. Sometimes it is a place of mutual support and kindness. In the same way that we get the food system we create, it is the same with online communication. Our aim is to make it kind, beautiful and productive.

We put a sign in a public plot and hundreds of people see it. We take a picture of that sign and put it on Instagram and tens of thousands of people see it. If we tag it right and our whole movement around the world gets behind us, shares it, and millions of people see it.

But it takes some learning and a little work. The best social media isn’t about just posting pictures of what you have grown but about engaging in a two way conversation with people about why you did it and what it means to you. Like all good conversation it is about listening as well as speaking – it is a two way street.
