1/ Thanks for having me to #EUInfluencer to talk about trends emerging from digital communication, corona and the latest EU policies!

Here are a few thoughts πŸ‘‡

2/ While digital has changed political communication, it is important to remember the communication objectives remain the same:

πŸ“° Media attention
πŸ“’ Messaging
🀝 Mobilisation
πŸ™‹ reaching people
🌐 Building networks and communities

3/ Digital has changed is the communications environment.

πŸ“Ί New channels, like blogs and social media influencers
πŸŒ€ New conventions, like a 24 hr cycle of content production
πŸ’° Costs of participation down
πŸ“Š New measures and metrics
πŸ› οΈ New tools for connecting

4/ The coronavirus is accelerating the transformation:

We see some trends emerging - more empathetic communication, increasing relevance of digital methods, more green conversations, direct citizen engagement, etc.

5/ And alongside all this, a range of EU policy responses changing the dynamic. Here are a few to watch:
