    - Campaigning
     
 

Key points

  • All campaigns need supporters, people on your side who spread the word.
  • Bringing a celebrity on board can do wonders to raise the profile of your campaign - it's not easy but persistence pays.
  • Getting publicity through editorial coverage in the local or national press, on radio or TV is very important and often more valuable than advertising. Court those journalists!
  • Quality digital camcorders and PC-based editing systems are now inexpensive and widely available - it makes sense to get your campaign on video and online. But keep your content clean, interesting and up to date.
  • A charity can lobby MPs and seek to influence candidates in general and local elections.

Checklist

  • A campaigns strategy.
  • An up-to-date list of key contacts in the media and government.
  • Briefings for campaigns officers.
