The Rolling Barrage - Media
The Rolling Barrage PTSD Foundation as the umbrella organization to our primary event, The Rolling Barrage, has been challenged with respect to how media is portrayed and exibited since 2017.
The Rolling Barrage PTSD Foundation is executing a massive shift in our media exposore on all levels through the combined vision of the Board of Directors with Scott Casey as Founder of The Rolling Barrage and Christian Carter as CEO of the Executive which has members of the Board of Directors in key positions.
The compass really points in all directions. We have collected a massive catalogue of photographs, videos, news articles, stories, and pod-casts. Over time, in this strategic and structured shift our website will be the cornerstone of how we continue to develop our organization in all aspects and provide measured success in our mission objectives.
Our Website
The Rolling Barrage has had a web presence since 2017. Over the years it has transitioned on numerous occasions. It changed to its own entity when The Rolling Barrage PTSD Foundation parted from Military Minds. At that juncture it was a quick transition and the website was built out in a manner that had heavy focus on mental health and recovery.
That is a good thing but also limiting in ways to promote and engage in the many important aspects of public perception of the organization as a whole.
The CEO in concert with the Board of Directors decided on a significant shift in presentation. There was superlative narrative on the previous website that has been transitioned to what you see now; however delivered more in editorial form than long form.
Images were also added to bring a more visual relation to the narrative.
So the development continues and will continue to develop. Truthfully, it can’t stop. There must be continual development.
Blog and News
Our Blog and News area was one of the first areas of the website to change aside from general design and layout of the website.
Several postings were derived from archival posts from our Facebook presence and with some added narrative, content was being added, and will continue to be added.
The website now has a secondary blog called “The Full Pull” and it is more event driven, being The Rolling Barrage itself. There may be some similiarities to our other Blog; but the focus is really “The Ride” itself. Look at our normal blog much like a newspaper, and the “The Full Pull” like a niche magazine within the newspaper concept.
When you think on it; with the 7th years ride approaching and onward to our 10th milestone anniversary there could be well over 100+ stories to read historically about The Rolling Barrage.
Social Media
Social Media is very important. If an organization such as ours is not on it, or doesn’t embrace it’s power in some way; you are done. But it cannot be in the drivers seat. The rationale is; social media platforms have come and gone but the real “motorcycle” on the race track is the website.
Social Media really should be the “pit crew” ensuring that the websites “motorcycle” has what it needs to stay in the race. The website needs regular maintenance, fuel, change of tires, upgrades for better performance, strategy to continue the race and win.
It needs sponsors, supporters and fans. A race means little if there is no crowd. Our race really is our Mission and stated goals. Our race is to make a difference in people’s lives, to live.
Our Social Media development will continue with general and strategic posts that engage the audience to come to the website and watch the “race” as it were unfold.
Mainstream Media
Riders within The Rolling Barrage have been interviewed by mainstream media across Canada. Name a network, we have been on it and mentioned in some capacity.
