Particularly like the final suggestion – “talent borrows but genius steals” as Morrissey once sang! Two great organisations to learn from are the RSA - their animations are fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/user/theRSAorg?feature=CAgQwRs%3D - and Brookings - their ipad app is visually appealing, easy to use and free. Probably some stuff around social media too – whether it’s blogging as a more nimble way to influence the debate (e.g. a blog to accompany every report launch on both Oxfam blogs and non-Oxfam blogs) or twitter for the trench warfare (and for more specific targeting.)

Very often, campaigns are de-linked to local realities. While looking at global gains, campaigners are often wont to ignoring local risks. Rarely a good idea. Would like to add #11
