Successful Campaigning in the wake of COVID-19
Description
COVID-19 has changed the world profoundly and permanently. There is no going back to the way it was. Traditional in-person advocacy tactics are harder and less effective. More traditional advocacy has moved online. Organizations must evolve or they will be increasingly marginalized. How can you keep up with today’s digital tools? How can you leverage your key stakeholders’ digital grassroots power? How do you approach storytelling most effectively?
We will show how technology can enable your advocates to share stories quickly and authentically and address how video content dominates people’s time and attention. We’ll also show you how organizations have been using more video in their campaigning in a simple, easy, inexpensive manner in various use cases.
