Restoring our planet is a task too daunting for any one organization to lead on – even the United Nations. It takes a movement! Walls.io helps us capture the energy of #GenerationRestoration and bring the many actions people are already taking for our planet to the forefront.

I strongly feel that cities will not communicate correctly until they have a Walls.io-type experience. And I’m not going to feel good until all these other cities have a version of this. They’re doing their cities a disservice by not creating this type of platform. And using Walls.io could easily be one of the most cost-effective ways of promoting information locally.

Because we wanted to display the wide range of hometowns and fields of study, our thoughts naturally drifted to creating a map of the world with locations marked by posts and tweets. For the campaign, the Walls.io map and wall are being embedded into our Welcome site, a kind of portal for new students to orient them to campus, life in Ann Arbor, and the many resources available to them. Students are directed to this site when they receive their offer of admission, to help inform their decision-making.

Walls.io offers us many options, both regarding the technical setup as well as the design. By putting social media content from various channels on the website, we can also reach those users who don’t use any of the social media networks we’re on.

We were delighted with the use of Walls.io at our OECD Forum this year; displayed on the wall of the conference centre, it animated the space and encouraged participants to engage on social media.

We had more than 9,000 page views for our Leader Day social wall. On the broadcast day, #CiscoBeat mentions on social media increased 107% from the previous month’s Cisco Beat.
