For nearly 20 years now I've been using digital campaigning to win campaigns for progressive change. Over and over again, I've seen firsthand just how effective and powerful a large, engaged email list can be. But today, it's much harder than it should be for nonprofits and political campaigns to grow their opt-in email communities with supporters who actually want to hear from them. At the same time, email's long-term viability for fundraising and advocacy purposes is being threatened by spammers and scammers who treat their email community like an ATM. I helped build Civic Shout (https://civicshout.com/partners) to make it ridiculously easy and affordable to grow email and SMS communities with opt-in supporters who are eager to hear from you. In just a few years, Civic Shout helped more than 600 progressive causes – including many of the biggest and most effective nonprofits in the United States – grow their opt-in email communities. In 2024 we expanded our services, introducing our Express CPC ad unit for driving high-quality web traffic directly to our partners' landing pages. With Civic Shout, you can: - Acquire fired-up opt-in supporters for a fixed cost per acquisition as low as $0.75 - Launch an email and SMS acquisition campaign in less than 10 minutes, giving you time to focus on other priorities - Use our Express CPC ad units to generate advocacy actions, recruit volunteers, and more on your own landing page - Avoid the hassles, headaches and surprises associated with running Facebook ads - Rest easy knowing you aren't funding a corporation that spreads hate speech and disinformation Get in touch if you'd like to learn more about the ad platform for progressive causes. I can't wait to show you what we've built.
