Our presenters will address these key advocacy campaign components:

  • Building a strategic plan to help your team work toward a shared goal.
  • Ensuring your organization has the tools, tactics and resources needed to run a successful campaign.
  • Developing key performance metrics to track the campaign’s reach, sentiment and influence on your policy issue.
  • Aligning your online messaging and your traditional lobbying activities.
  • Determining the correct platforms, consultants and tools to reach your targeted audience.

Planning a Strategic Campaign

Developing a plan, budgeting, and identifying goals for organizing an advanced issue advocacy campaign takes careful consideration. Even small campaigns with a limited budget can be highly effective when they maximize resources and focus on their target audience.

Our presenters will outline:

  • Setting goals and measuring success.
  • Evaluating the pros and cons of working with a coalition or creating a separate issue advocacy group.
  • Building the elements of a successful issue advocacy campaign: a digital advocacy hub for your supporters, a paid media strategy and strategic targeting of your most important audiences.
  • Coordinating and managing key internal and external stakeholders.

  • Managing and communicating your priorities with consultants and vendors to ensure the campaign is gaining ground.
  • Ensuring your campaign is integrated with your government relations, grassroots and communications teams all working together towards a shared goal.
