Where do you stand?

We need to just jump into online advocacy campaigns and experiment.

Online advocacy campaigns need to be planned, budgeted, staffed and strategized from the very start.

Our Vision of Change

our role: how we fit in into the larger change movement/ecosystem

identity: how we see the world - who we are, our politics, our frameworks

power: how we contribute, how we frame the issues

strengths: what we do well, our successes, our capacity

brand: how we are seen - our voice, our imagery, our stories

Needs: How do online campaigns address our vision/needs?The effort and expense needed for effective online campaigns requires organizational - if not sectoral - mobilization

Alignment/Support: how is this (or could it become) an organizational, if not sectoral, priority?

what does our organization/sector need to make this change happen?

Success: what can realistically expect from this campaign, given the time, resources, timelines we have?

Effective Online Communications

why it's the same: we still frame issues, messaging, storyboards, etc. 

why it's different: new standards for ideas, concepts - HIPPOmeasurable results you can't hide from criticism and opposition - using them to strengthen our messages

Who cares?

Audience: how does this issue/campaign connect to people's life, emotions, needs?

Scope: is this a membership vs. labour vs. public priority?

Target: who holds the power, what are their pressure points, and whose voice/presence will be needed?

Framing: what values are we speaking to in our messaging? how do we evoke stories, myths, imagery, history?
