Build a Social Media Brand That Earns Engagement and Trust

Social media is essential when it comes to advancing your advocacy goals and positioning executives as industry experts. With the 2020 election shaping up to be one of the most watched, written about, unpredictable and highly contested events in recent history, the stakes are staggeringly high for communicators. How does your organization break through and successfully engage audiences on today’s biggest platforms while minimizing risk? Discover the strategies AARP uses to champion its brand online and gain support around key issues at stake in the election.
