8 Ways To Use Graphic Recording Post Event
Your event was a huge hit, made even more memorable because you had a graphic recorder capturing capturing all the big themes, a-ha moments and important learnings in real time. Now that it's over, keep the momentum going by maximizing those great visuals. Below are 8 ideas for how you could do that.
Use graphic recording to recap your event, in a gallery walk, on social media, make a video or put it on products
Recap The Event. Project photos of the finished murals on-screen during the closing ceremony. All of the key themes are there and easy for the CEO to speak to.
Host A Gallery Walk. Take the murals back to your HQ, hang them in a lobby or common area and host a Gallery Walk for employees who weren't able to attend the event. This will make effective and immediate use of the graphic recordings, and it will allow everyone to participate in the the thinking that was started and further the discussion.
Get Social. Incorporate the graphics in blogs, newsletters and all of your social media outlets. You can even pull out specific quotes or icons from the murals providing social media content for the rest of the year!
Create A Visual Report. Re-cap your event in the form of a printed book or pdf. Showcase the graphic recordings along with event photos and a written overview of the event in chronological order. It's a wonderful surprise to send to attendees shortly after the event. They love reviewing what they learned and sharing the visuals with their colleagues.
Shoot a Video or Webinar. Stage it with your leader in front of one of the murals and have them tell the story of the event. Zoom in on the visuals, go through them point by point, and/or use them as a call to action.
Create Gifs. Use animated gifs on your website and in social media. I love to make gifs, so please just ask if you'd like this as part of your project scope!
Make An Interactive Map. Use the visuals on a Mural or Miro board, or make a Prezi with custom links that take a deeper dive into the content.
Put Them On Products. There are many products that can easily be made in small to large quantities to suit any budget. Here are just a few ideas:
Posters
Puzzles
Trade Show Walls
Mouse Pads
Smart Phone Covers
Trading Cards
Stickers
T-shirts
Coffee Mugs
Water Bottles
And on and on and on!
