Campaign f or your cause

Imagine you have decided to support an important cause, like providing meals for families who can’t afford them or
raising awareness of cyberbullying. How can you get your voice heard and your cause supported to really make a
difference? Here are three ideas to get the word out.

1 __________________________
A Nothing will get massive attention like a viral social media post. Predicting what type of post will go viral is
difficult, but there are two basic types: an informative fact-based post or a post with a personal message saying
why this cause is important to you. T he former will educate your audience and the latter will connect with their
emotions. If these don’t work, try a creative post or one full of humour. T he key thing is that you post regularly and
encourage people to engage with your posts.

2 _________________________
B If you can get these on your side, you will stand a great chance of connecting with your community. List all the
news outlets who might be interested in your cause. Go to their websites and see if they have supported similar
campaigns in the past. With your story outline and some nice photos already prepared, contact journalists directly
on social media and see if they would like to cover your story. It is better to target a few specific people than mail
everyone. Make sure you talk about the importance of your cause and what your campaign objectives are.

3 _________________________
C T hese are not only an effective way to raise awareness and money for your cause, but they also allow you to
connect with like-minded people in your community. Set a specific goal, for example to raise €500, to get 10 new
members or to get the email addresses of 100 people, then you can see if your event was successful or not.
