The London Photographers Association social media initiatives received a special mention in USAToday.com, Journalism.co.uk and GetaNewsJob.com.
“Interesting initiative for members of the London Photographic Association (LPA): existing members who bring in new paying recruits to the organisation will receive promotion by the LPA through social networks.
This will include: Member’s bio and link to your LPA portfolio posted on LinkedIn LPA discussion page; One week of Twitter updates with links to your LPA folio; One week of Facebook posts with images from portfolio and a link to your LPA portfolio page. Could this kind of promotion package be adopted by other member organisations or indeed members clubs on news sites or is there a danger in allowing a third-party to part-manage your professional profile on social networks?” Get a News Job.

Her digital marketing company, Ginger Media & Entertainment has been working with the LPA since January to promote the LPA brand and website through social media. Members of the LPA receive social media marketing assistance, exposure and promotion throughout LPA’s social networks with additional PR through the media and art world.
LPA post members work on social network sites:
Membership of the LPA includes the opportunity to be part of extensive and online publicity. This can tie in with individual members’ exhibitions, gallery openings, competition wins and special events. We can help generate online PR with the press by maintaining relationships with multi-media journalists, bloggers and publications.
Ginger Media and Entertainment represents the new school of public relations and PR and their expertise can really help you as individual members. The company is renowned as one of the leading social media marketing and digital PR companies in the USA and UK. It combines online PR, social media marketing and SEO with traditional methods of publicity and event organising.
Ginger Media and Entertainment’s owner, Ginger Liu, has one of the largest networks in the entertainment, media and art industries and has been interviewed on US radio thanks to her definitive role in social media marketing. Her combined experiences as a London-educated photographer, film and media professional and Hollywood-based social media marketing director make her a key influence in the PR world.
Our partnership with Ginger is unique for a photography and film membership association and is another demonstration of our forward-thinking dedication to raising the profiles of our members. Please help us make a success of this venture by keeping your online profiles full and updated, letting us know what you’re up to (no story is too small – after all, Twitter communicates in just 140 characters!) and linking to the LPA whenever you can.
LPA Referral Incentives Program:
Existing members who refer new LPA paid members will receive
personal LPA portfolio exposure through social network sites.
Photographers need exposure. Photographers need LPA.
