social advertising for issue advocacy
DESCRIPTION
Social media advertising options have expanded dramatically in recent years, but many online advocacy organizations aren’t aware of the messaging and targeting opportunities now available, often at low cost. This presentation will examine the most useful social advertising channels currently available and in particular, this session will explore when it makes sense to consider employing social ads and when it doesn't.
