SOcial Media strategy
• Research – who is your message intended for? Age, socio-economic status, religion, etc.
• History - Has anyone tried to reach them in the past? Why did they succeed? Why did they fail?
• What appeals to them? What are their aspirations?
• How local to the audience can you make it?
• Any ideas already?
![Page 16: Social Media for Advocacy – The 5 W’s and H · Why social media for advocacy? • Low (or no) hard costs for set-up • Potentially wide reach • Quick/instantaneous sharing](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052023/6038a4c5edd54139316f71ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Do…
• Have a plan beyond the advocacy period
• Combine strategies – a stand alone will stand alone
• Let the people own it – you’re not swooping in and saving the world. What happens when you leave?
• Have a human rights approach, framed strategically
• Understand that people change and you need to be ready for that. Research is key.
• Go beyond one person, show society wide benefits
• Be clear and simple to latch on to.
• Remain and portray positivity
• Use role models where you can

don’T…
• Use only marketing content

• Ignore these -Follow. Engage. Interact
• Not care about your audience – presentation, frequency, medium
