 We’re fans of Adobe Spark here at Democracy Action; we used it for our launch video! It’s an easy-to-use platform for graphics and short videos, ideal for injecting a bit of dynamism into websites and social media. Adobe are getting together with Charity Digital for a free webinar which promises to show you how to use the platform to create standout content that drives interest and inspires action.

Copyright, while sounding complicated and boring, is an important thing to get right. This guide from Heritage Digital (available with an accompanying webinar recording if that’s more your thing) outlines the key considerations when working with suppliers on digital content. It’ll help you understand what you can do with the digital content you commission, without breaking any copyright rules and regs.
