Advocacy is a planned strategy to influence policy and resource allocation decisions within political, economic and social systems. All groups use advocacy. Non-profits advocate for people who usually don’t have much power in society: the socially excluded and disadvantaged. The work of Non-profits is invaluable.
Hollywood Consulting Group works with Non-profits building their capacity to create effective grassroots and advocacy campaigns. We help Non-profits define your ‘ask’, targets, communication messages and to navigate the political process.
Case Study: A Non-profit undertook a research project, the result of which was likely to suggest policy and program reforms. At the beginning of the project an Advocacy Strategy was developed in order to use the research to influence public policy at key points.
Social change refers to processes that motivate individuals and organisations to change, act, donate or to do things for a social benefit.
Hollywood Consulting Group works with non-profits and government to deliver effective social change campaigns.
Case Study: Together with a Non-profit a multi-media product was developed promoting the benefits of a diverse workforce to employers.
