Hi. So I know this will be a very annoying or interesting post depending on which side of the political divide you stand. But basically, I want to discuss the walk to promote made in Ghana goods that has recently taken place. The first lesson this walk has taught me is that some people need to SHUT UP and learn. Organising events proved not to be too easy for even them.
So we first heard of this walk to support made in Ghana goods as an opposing march to the #occupyflagstaffhouse campaign. It is a shocker. You show support for the President and then claim you are promoting made in Ghana goods. Nice. interesting concept but here are a few questions.
1. Who paid for the walk?
2. Were state funds utilized in anyway?
3. How do we assess the impact of what they have done?
Once we have answers to these questions, I believe we can have a more serious discussion on the matters they tried to push.
But, on the social media campaign for this walk, here is a free lesson: you talk the event on social media, walk the talk and report the walk. You do not talk the walk after it has happened. Bad idea.
It is interesting to know however that #occupyflagstaffgouse really made an impact. At least we got a free made in ghana campaign as an add on.
