I have used materials from Notice Bored (http://www.noticebored.com) and Computer Security Institute (http://www.gocsi.com/ ) in my organisation and I found them useful.
 
However you need to understand your enviroment and tailor your programs towards them.

I started the first week in May as the Information Security week with a
presentation of the White-Hat Team where I invited all employees to join the
team on the first day.  I then followed up with 1 email a day highlighting
the hot topics of today.  I then follow that up with an email at the first
of each month with an email on the current hot topic in infosec.  It has
received a very good response.

Dear Dashti,

There are some special trainings where you can learn more about how to build an efficient information security awareness within your organisation, but these are some basic tips:

- try to align the awareness program to your company information security policies,

- adjust the training to the specific incidents or risks that are most common to your organisation,

- use graphs, statistics, films, posters, banners etc - try to make a dynamic but also an ongoing process,

- do not forget to measure the efficiency of the whole program,

- I would personally start from the top management.

Try different consultants and awareness vendors, for sure they can help you with some ideas. My friends at infosecuritylab used to offer three months free awareness training - so you can train your staff for free by a computer supported environment and see, if this is applicable for you. Sometimes it is easier to do face-to-face training. Also I would recommend you to see the video that was prepared and shows the entire process:  http://www.infosecuritylab.com/downloads/walkthrough/walkthrough.wmv.

One of my students recently managed to get all the information from a bank account in less then 6 hours spent on the phone, by using specific topics of social engineering. It is a long story, but you would not believe, how simple it can be. Bank employees are specially vulnerable to those attacks, therefore try to do some awareness in the most simple areas of information security.

Be secure,

A.

P.S.: Try to measure whatever you do, so you can improve the process in the future!
