Online Advocacy News
Supporting Food Webinars and Downloadable Reports

Healthcare clinicians play a vital role in educating their patients, community and institutions. Clinicians are recognized as trusted experts on health-related issues, not only in the clinic, but in society as well. Well-informed and prepared clinicians can dramatically influence and educate others.

To reach those clinicians, Campaign Advantage client Healthcare Without Harm is using its Campaign Advantage website, which is coded in Portuguese, Spanish and English for audiences on five continents. HCWH webinars and downloadable technical reports prepared by groups such as the Health Care Research Collaborative help local healthcare activists make the case for healthier and more environmentally sustainable practices in healthcare facilities.

Smithsonian Folklife Festival Participation

Both Campaign Advantage CEO Phil Tajitsu Nash and client Dr. Catherine Yi-yu Cho Woo, played prominent roles at the 2010 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. The Festival, which is the largest annual event sponsored by the federal government, is held for ten days around the Fourth of July weekend on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

This year, Nash served as Curator of the Festival, organizing over 1,200 participants as they told stories and cooked, danced, sang, and demonstrated crafts. You can read more about the Festival, and also see a short video of him describing the Folklife Festival program, at www.festival.si.edu/2010/asian_pacific_americans.aspx. His photos and writings about the Festival also can be seen on the Festival blog.

Dr. Woo closed the festival with a story and a presentation of a special scroll to the Smithsonian Institution. More on her well-received presentation can be seen at the Smithsonian website.

Expanding Our Toolkit

Ten years ago, Campaign Advantage staff created our own databases, email blasting tools, and tools for relationship management and donation processing. In our book Winning Campaigns Online, we were leery of third party processing tools because they were so unreliable.

Today, we are able to give our clients a lot more value for their dollars by using reliable third party vendor tools such as Democracy in Action's relationship management and donation processing interface, SALSA, or the Constant Contact email blasting tool. Whether our clients need open source or proprietary Microsoft solutions, we are open to whatever combination of tools gets the job done most efficiently and effectively.

Helping Public Broadcasting in Mississippi

The weak economy has underscored the importance of National Public Radio and Public Television stations around the nation, which provide high quality entertainment and news programming at a fraction of the cost of commercial outlets. To help Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) fundraise and make their subscriber operations more effective, Campaign Advantage was hired to build a new website for the Foundation for Public Broadcasting in Mississippi, the fundraising arm of MPB.

As the "Champion of all things Mississippi," the Foundation's website is designed to promote pride in the state as well as support for tourism and the local arts community. Paintings by local artists and photos of the picturesque "Magnolia State" are featured on every page, reminding people in-state and around the nation that Mississippi is more than just the birthplace of the blues.

"We are honored to be working with the Foundation for Public Broadcasting in Mississippi," said Campaign Advantage President Emi Ireland. "This beautiful state deserves a website that will showcase its many natural and cultural assets."
