Strategies For Success: Public Outreach

What It Takes to Succeed

For thirty years, Astone has been helping dozens of government agencies and non-profit organizations to positively influence millions of minds... alter thousands of differing opinions... and help to not only build consensus but concretely change behavior for the public good.

Here are just two things which we know to be fundamental in getting your social programs where you want them to go.

Appealing to Personal Self-interest Changes Behavior Much Faster Than Simply Providing Information

All of the facts and figures in the world often don't make any difference in changing behavior. So we use our experience and insightful research to dive deeply into citizens' psyches... ferret out what personally and emotionally moves them (or not) on a given issue... and then keep hitting that hot button in marketing communications.

Effective Social Marketing isn't Just Marketing

It's communicating compelling incentives or consequences to the public which invite (and sometimes almost demand) voluntary behavioral change. When we can make behavioral change seen as having more value to the individual than the status quo, behaviors are changed for the good.

That's some of what it takes to succeed. Now, let's help you get there.
