Digital Strategy
Recognise
Resource
Realise
● Promote and amplify your content
● Reach new volunteers
● Mobilise and motivate existing volunteers
● Ensure effective communications with networks
.
Engaging different groups online will require different
messages on different platforms. Think about…
● Age group
● Gender
● Interests
.
How you frame your message / ask can determine a
person’s decision to engage. You need to:
● articulate the issue in a compelling and authentic way
● appeal to people’s values
● show how things can improve
● outline what a person can do to help achieve that.
For different platforms you will
have different objectives and
audiences, requiring different
content...
.
Engaging, informative, and shareable content that
promotes key campaign messages will inspire people to
take action.
Set a positive tone...
.
Campaigns must make it as easy as possible for people to
participate and show their support.
● Call-to-actions
● Provide a spectrum of participation
● Listen to the conversation
● Interact with your audience
.
It is important to know what counts as meaningful
engagements for your campaign...
● Set yourself goals
● Monitor progress
● Adapt accordingly
.
