It encompasses the coordination of messaging, outreach, fundraising, and mobilization efforts designed to influence attitudes, behaviors, or policy outcomes.

Applications include electoral campaigns, public health campaigns, policy advocacy campaigns, and social issue campaigns. Practices typically involve setting objectives, crafting narratives, selecting communication channels, coordinating volunteers and staff, and measuring impact through polling, analytics, and outcome tracking.

The approach emphasizes targeting, timing, and resource allocation to maximize reach and effectiveness while maintaining coherence with organizational goals.
