**A team of consultants, trainers and social media practitioners have launched Voice,
a social media agency for the not-for-profit sector. It aims to provide practical
social media support to charity, arts and governmental organisations in the UK.**

Oxford-based Voice brings together a team of specialists from fundraising, campaigning,
communications, marketing and social media backgrounds to help clients to incorporate
social media strategies into their strategic planning and into their day-to-day 
activities.

It offers consultancy, training and social media campaign management services.

David Dixon, founder of The Phone Room Ltd and now Voice, and an international consultant
in arts management, said: “In the NFP sector we need to get well beyond the ‘wow’
factor in social media and get real in using these new channels for fundraising 
and communications”.

David Dixon has worked for two decades with charities and cultural organisations
as has fellow Director Vanessa Blake. Both are also Directors of The Phone Room 
which has been providing telephone fundraising services to many key players in the
UK since 1997.

Euan Semple joined Voice bringing his social media and online experience at the 
BBC and with clients around the world. Euan is a well know writer, public speaker
and thinker advising companies on social networks as a business tool.

Sylwia Presley joins the team to contribute her word-of-mouth and social media ethics
experience at word-of-mouth agency, 1000heads.

UK Fundraising’s Howard Lake and Chris Denton, Marketing Director of The Barbican
Centre are non-executive members of the Board.

Euan Semple said: “I have been working with social media more or less since it was
invented and for a long time I have wanted to find a way to bring my commercial 
and government experience to support charities and the arts. Voice will enable me
to make a real difference.”
