Outside the echo chamber

Agitation. Acceptance. Action

The three legs of the milking stool of non-profit PR are agitation, acceptance, and action. While every non-profit will have its own goals with media engagement, they all will include at least one of these focuses, with some including all three.

Many hands

PR for participation

Non-profits often rely heavily on volunteers and action from individuals to achieve their missions. Attracting that level of participation is often dependent on exposure to an issue, group, or organisation. This can be partially achieved in the digital world by social media engagement; however, media exposure is where the real seeds of change happen.

The inconvenient truth

Pitch media to fight ‘what’s the pointism’

The legacy of the last few years is that anxiety levels in communities are at their highest point on record. Most people are solely focused on survival. This focus dulls their hope for a better future. A more peaceful time where we turn back the tide of climate change. Where our actions regenerate land and bring back fauna and flora on the edge of extinction. Films like 2040 and Regenerating Australia show that a more positive and hopeful future is entirely possible, but not without action now.
