We asked Forthright to complete a communications audit so we could then make strategic decisions about where to focus our valuable time and effort. They made specific recommendations about every piece of our communications strategy, from how to optimize our email marketing program to what social media outlets we should focus on. We are now confident about how we can best reach our target audience, giving us more time to focus on what’s more important to us: helping our students thrive.

Messengers are the people who influence your target audiences. They can support your work in a variety of ways – from sharing your posts on social media, to posting about your programs on their neighborhood listservs to sponsoring your programs.
Trusted messengers are people, or groups of people, your audiences are most likely to listen to. We’re sharing more strategies to harness their power in this blog.
People are ready to fight back. They are ready to help. They are ready to "make good trouble."
Your audiences are looking for someone to tell them what to do.
