Majority Strategies’ Community Architect is a new, strategic approach to advocacy that merges data and political insights to help businesses, trade associations and others achieve their public affairs goals.
Marc Klein, Vice President of Data and Digital Advocacy Solutions, joins our #StrategySession today to explain the Community Architect solution in more detail.
How does Community Architect differ from the old model of advocacy?
Our Community Architect product develops real people into your champions utilizing our extensive data platform and technology toolbox. We can microtarget the precise audience you want to communicate with and then we bring those real people onto your team to support your position.
How can Community Architect aid industries like the environment, energy, or transportation?
Because American consumers have certain preferences, traits, and characteristics that we can see and understand, we are able to find and create audiences that are important to specific industries, such as the environment, energy, and transportation. Residents of cities may be interested in e-scooters and micromobility, for example, and we can hyper-target those people who have a propensity towards transportation mode shift and help effectuate change to benefit those residents and the city as a whole.
What are the biggest advocacy challenges to overcome?
Smartly utilizing budget dollars is always a priority. How do you build your desired support within the scope of your budget, KPIs, and ROI? Our Community Architect methodology prioritizes your success within the scope of your budget — large or small — so that you build your community of supporters and achieve your goals.
What is something you know is true, but few agree with you on?
Your limits are not as limiting as you believe they are – you are stronger than you think.
What question should we have asked you?
What’s more important: “who” receives your messaging or “what” the messaging is?
