ABSTRACT

Organizations like yours spend, in total, billions of dollars

annually to get people to buy a product, embrace a brand,

follow a candidate, or join a cause. And yet we can all agree

that these marketing campaigns, ads, public relations ini-

tiatives, communication programs, and social media and

change efforts are-to be kind-often less effective than

they could be. If you are honest, you’ll admit you need

help forging a lasting bond with the people you hope to

influence.
