Digital strategy can be an important tool in a campaign’s arsenal and has the power to swing an election if you are able to utilize it correctly. Investing in your digital campaign is a continuous cycle of attraction, nurturing, and engaging your audience.


Remember that raising money isn’t the only success metric. Investing in digital is a long-term investment, and measuring success encompasses the financial returns, increased campaign awareness, and mobilization efficacy.
