Personas Rooted in Real Lives

Create living personas from interviews, social listening, and supporter surveys. Include barriers to action, preferred content formats, and typical daily routines. Invite volunteers to validate personas and comment, then refine. Share your top persona insight with us in a reply.

Find the Right Channels for Each Goal

Match channels to intents: TikTok for awareness, newsletters for depth, LinkedIn for partners, WhatsApp groups for grassroots coordination. Test one micro-campaign per channel, measure, and iterate. Tell us which channel surprised you most and why.

Accessibility Is Strategy, Not Afterthought

Use alt text, high color contrast, captions, plain-language summaries, and low-bandwidth options like transcripts. An NGO in Nairobi doubled sign-ups after adding captions to stories. Commit publicly to accessibility; invite your audience to flag barriers.

Craft Content Narratives that Mobilize

Act I: Context and human stakes. Act II: The turning point driven by community effort. Act III: Specific, achievable actions for the reader. Keep dignity central, avoid savior framing. Post your next three-act outline below for friendly feedback.

Break long reports into carousels, quote cards, short reels, or threaded posts. One group turned a 40-page study into nine graphics and tripled reach. Ask followers a single, vivid question and invite them to tag a friend who cares.

Obtain consent, protect identities when needed, and center voices of those closest to the issue. Offer translations and context to avoid misinterpretation. Share your ethical checklist; we’ll feature the best examples in our newsletter.

Build Community in Distributed Spaces

Monthly 45-minute circles with 8–12 participants foster real connection. Rotate facilitators, set clear norms, and capture action notes. A youth coalition used circles to co-create a campaign tagline in two weeks. Want the template? Comment “circle” to receive it.

Build Community in Distributed Spaces

Recruit trusted community members to share resources in their networks. Provide toolkits, sample posts, and unique links for tracking. Celebrate their wins publicly. Share your first ambassador candidate’s story and we’ll suggest a personalized outreach script.

Be Data-Informed Without Losing Soul

Prioritize measures tied to outcomes: sign-ups, volunteer retention, policy mentions, partner referrals. Track story saves and replies, not just likes. Share your one north-star metric this quarter and why it truly matters to your mission.

Be Data-Informed Without Losing Soul

Pilot A/B subject lines, vary posting times, and test calls to action like pledge, share, donate, or attend. Document hypotheses and results in a simple log. Post your next test idea below; we’ll suggest a fast evaluation plan.

Choose Tools That Serve People

Pick tools your team can actually maintain: a solid email platform, collaborative docs, accessible design apps, and a community hub. Avoid shiny objects. Share your current stack and we’ll recommend one realistic upgrade that saves time.

Choose Tools That Serve People

Automate repetitive tasks like welcome sequences, reminders, and follow-ups, but keep messages warm and personalized. Add first-name fields, local context, and human signatures. Share your best-performing automated message and what made it feel authentic.

Choose Tools That Serve People

Offer lightweight pages, audio summaries, and downloadable text. Provide key content in multiple languages. A rural coalition doubled attendance by sharing event details as SMS-friendly text. Tell us which languages your community needs most.

Structure for Energy and Clarity

Open with a human story, share two to three insights, and name a specific action path. Keep sessions under 60 minutes with breaks for interaction. Post your next event outline and we’ll offer a concise improvement tip.

Make Participation Easy and Meaningful

Use polls, breakout prompts, and chat questions that invite lived experience. Provide slides and notes in advance. An environmental group saw 40% more pledges after adding a live commitment poll. Share your favorite interactive moment idea.

Collaborate for Reach and Credibility

Map Partners by Shared Outcomes

Look beyond similar organizations to schools, clinics, faith groups, and local businesses aligned with your outcome. Co-host a mini-campaign with measurable goals. Share one potential partner and your aligned outcome; we’ll suggest a win-win pitch.

Co-Create Content, Don’t Just Cross-Post

Invite partners to co-author threads, co-produce webinars, or exchange newsletter takeovers. Feature community voices. A disability rights org and a transit group co-wrote a guide that sparked policy meetings. Tell us your next co-creation idea.

Bridge Local Stories to Global Audiences

Translate local cases into universal lessons while crediting community leadership. Use consistent hashtags, time-zone considerate scheduling, and clear storytelling arcs. Share a local story you want to scale and we’ll help shape a global angle.
