In this episode of The Community Strategy Podcast, Hudson Phillips, the host of ScriptBlast, shares insights on how he discovered community, why he launched his community on the Mighty Networks, and how he’s learned so much in just a year of hosting this online community.
His community, ScriptBlast, is a beacon of hope for screenwriters who struggle with navigating the ups and downs of the journey, offering them a space to write with ease and joy.
As an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker, Hudson produced the feature film This World Alone, released in May of this year.
With this experience and as the Creative Director for Uplink Marketing, he brings over 25 years of design, branding, copywriting, and marketing experience to the communities he leads.
With his community-building experience, he also supports Village Canopy Life, an online community working to transform the lives of children and communities in rural Kenya.
2:37: Phillips begins by explaining what got him interested in community building: 16 years of struggling to break into the screenwriting world and not feeling like he had a safe space to talk about his struggles. ScriptBlast started as a social media account, but already part of a Mighty Network, he made the switch.
11:35: Deb and Phillip compare the passive nature of social media and the active engagement of a community. Phillip underscores the significance of listening to his community, which helped him relieve the pressure of content creation by focusing on what the community genuinely engaged in events.
15:20: Phillip talks about ScriptBlast, his screenwriting community, and CanopyLife, a non-profit client community that runs an entrepreneurial school in Kenya. He also touches on re-assessing goals and why the group exists when managing engagement expectations.
22:09: Many factors go into community engagement, as Phillip discusses people who prefer being silent observers and the seasonality of summer months being quiet while people are busy and traveling.
During our session, you can decide whether you want to focus on strategy or implementation as the primary focus.
