We’re today launching a ground-breaking new guide on how to use ‘geo-advocacy’ to communicate with the new intake of MPs.
With a record number of new MPs to get to know, creating communications that stand out from the crowd and achieve cut-through is more important than ever.
Geo-advocacy is a form of lobbying that involves presenting a case for a policy or issue at a geographical level that will have maximum impact with a stakeholder.
For an MP this means framing your messaging through the lens of their parliamentary constituency.
This guide – Starting out with geo-advocacy – represents the first time we have committed to paper the Polimapper ‘secret sauce’.
It gives you all the tools you need for geo-advocacy, and will empower you to take on a constituency data project.
In the guide, we cover:
- What is geo-advocacy, and the psychology of spatial distance
- How data is the key to undertaking any geo-advocacy project at scale
- The four key sources of data for geo-advocacy
- The best sources of public data for geo-advocacy
- The methods you can use to adapt data to fit parliamentary constituencies
The guide is essential reading for anyone working in public affairs.
