How to Promote Social Issues
As the world is facing more social justice issues than in many other times in history, many people are asking how to promote social issues. Whether you work for a nonprofit organization fighting for social justice or a corporation standing up for a social cause, promoting social issues is not easy, especially in a polarized political climate. Point Taken, a public relations and marketing firm specializing in nonprofit communications, explains how to promote social issues in a professional, ethical and powerful way.
After completing a strategic plan that helps you better understand your organization’s goals, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis), key messages and target audiences, you can develop tactics to support your strategic plan.
