The Wake Up Call—centered around Israel Ellis’s book, podcast, and speaking events—needs broad support across multiple functions to expand its reach and engagement. This includes event outreach and organization, podcast production assistance, social media management, and video editing for promotional content. By bringing together these different tasks, the project aims to increase awareness of the book’s themes and grow our online community.

We envision different teams or students taking on the tasks that match their skill sets. The overall deliverables may include:

Event Outreach & Coordination

• Research and compile potential venues, partner organizations, or online platforms for speaking engagements.
• Create a clear outreach plan (e.g., contact information, email templates, and follow-up schedule).
• (Optional) Assist with event logistics (virtual or in-person).

Podcast Production Support

• Help with scheduling and coordinating podcast guests.
• Support the editing process (audio cleanup, adding intro/outro music, etc.).
• Provide recommendations for podcast hosting platforms, publishing schedule, and promotion.

Social Media Management

• Develop a content calendar for multiple platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.).
• Create or curate engaging posts, images, and short videos to highlight the book’s messages and upcoming events.
• Monitor comments and messages, suggesting ways to foster audience engagement.

Video Editing for Promotional Content

• Edit short video clips for social media (Reels, TikToks, YouTube shorts) showcasing behind-the-scenes moments or event highlights.
• Ensure consistency in branding, transitions, and titles.
• Organize footage for easy reference and future use.

Performance Metrics & Reporting

• Track analytics for social media platforms and podcast episodes (e.g., engagement, reach, downloads).
• Provide a short summary or final report with recommendations on how to improve going forward.
