Communicate Effective Campaign Messages

Develop and deliver campaign messages that turn a passive public into active supporters.

Campaigns succeed or fail on their communications. But if getting heard is a challenge in this information overload world causing people to act or change is much harder.

Communicate Effective Campaign Messages helps you break through and gain active public support for your campaign.

Building support

Many campaign communicators assume showing people the damage (injured wildlife, ruined landscapes) is all it takes to gain their support.

But although this approach may prompt one-off actions it doesn't create the lasting behaviour changes needed for campaign success.

Effective campaign communicators go beyond education to remove the barriers and provide the motivations that lead to active campaign support.

Meeting deadlines

Campaign communicators often must develop new messages quickly. But how do you create effective messages when time is short and changing people's behaviour is notoriously hard?

Through your experience and knowledge.

Experience takes time to accumulate but knowledge can be gained quickly. And the greater your knowledge the more easily you avoid time-wasting bad experiences.
