DRIVING INTEGRATED ADVOCACY SOLUTIONS
INNOVATIVE SERVICES. SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGNS.
Gone are the days when shoe leather lobbying and a communications strategy alone were sufficient to win issue campaigns. Advocacy today is more sophisticated, competitive, and integrated than ever before.
Coalition Management
Whether it's a long or short-term coalition, effective and efficient coalition management will not only promote success, but will also keep members committed to the issue and effort.
Third Party Engagement
Advanced Advocacy works to identify, educate, and activate like minded groups to provide organic support for your efforts. Engaging third party validators is important whether you're micro-targeting individual populations, promoting a groundswell, or building an education campaign.
Grassroots Activation
Grassroots movements are most impactful when they use collective action to effect change, and can be generated through education, targeted outreach and by working with members of like-minded organizations.
Alliance Building
United allies are critical to winning a campaign. Many times, coalitions are comprised of different and sometimes seemingly opposing groups. Alliance building brings together diverse players and unites them around a particular objective.
Issue Campaigns
Much like how a political campaign is an organized effort to elect a candidate, an issue campaign is an organized effort to win a legislative or regulatory battle using a series of coordinated tactics and methods.
