The Nashville Chapter of
the Religion Communicators Council (RCC) meets monthly to talk about topics of
interest and hear from professionals in religious communications.
The Religion Communicators
Council (RCC) is an interfaith association of religion communicators at work in
print and electronic communication, marketing and public relations. The
Nashville Chapter meets monthly at rotating locations to learn about other
faith traditions, learn from fellow communicators and gain professional
development opportunities.
Rolling with the current times,
RCC Nashville will be holding its first virtual zoom meeting this month on the
topic of “keeping people informed during global pandemics,” and will be
inviting all religious communicators to join in the conversation which will be
next week.
The last RCC meeting took place
at United Methodist Communications in February, and RCC members heard from Jamie
Dunham, Chief Brand Strategist at Brand Wise, on the topic Podcasting for Your
Brand. Dunham is a blogger, brand strategist and cultural curator. Her focus is
building cultural relevancy for brands that lead to stronger and more
profitable consumer relationships. She has provided counsel to a wide variety
of consumer sectors – the arts, faith-based communities, grocery, healthcare,
hospitality, restaurants, travel and package goods. She is particularly passionate about The
Lipstick Economy – the 108 million women that account for 85% of all consumer
purchases. That is also the name of her podcast, which comes out every two
weeks.
RCC members were able to learn
how important podcasts are today, especially being a relatively non-crowded
market to send out a message, as well as successful ways to go about starting a
great podcast.
The RCC has members from every faith group
and walk of life including Baha’is, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Scientologists,
Sikhs, Hindus and more. The RCC, founded in 1929, is an association of
communications professionals who work for and with a diverse group of
faith-based organizations in the areas of communications, public relations,
advertising and development.
The RCC provides opportunities for
communicators to learn from each other. Together, RCC members promote
excellence in the communication of faith and values in the public arena. The
next Nashville Chapter meeting will be in March at Thistle Farms. For more information about the Religion Communicators
