About

The purpose of DMS PR is to manage the flow of information between DMS to its members and the general public, nurture member relations, increase the visibility of DMS, develop, maintain, promote and protect the DMS brand, outreach/new member acquisition strategies, community strategies, merchandising, volunteer organization, and maintaining corporate relationships.

Coverage

Dallas Makerspace Public Relations Committee Responsibilities as approved by the Board of Directors Include:

  1. Advertising - Increased public exposure through online and print mediums
  2. Brand Creation - Creating and maintaining a consistent brand throughout all internal/external communications which properly tells our story, message and mission.

  4. Campus Beautification - Curating, creating, and maintaining signage, content on common walls, and the ongoing aesthetic improvement to the DMS environment as a whole in a way which is congruent with the brand and overall message of DMS.
  5. Corporate Donation Requests - Organize and facilitate the outreach to corporate entities for equipment and monetary donations
  6. Crisis Communication - Work directly with the board in response (or lack of response) to the public during a possible future crisis situation.
  7. Events - Organize and promote DMS events for both member appreciation and outreach
  8. Expansion Activities - Working with the expansion group to keep members and the public up to date on progress and volunteer ops

Website content - Publicly accessible domain (main website, blog, forums, wiki, etc.) While Infrastructure is responsible for website infrastructure, (ie: hosting, software, and updates) PR maintains the content (ie: theme, verbiage, and media) in a way which is congruent with the brand and overall message of DMS.
