Blue State Digital
Details
Blue State Digital is a new media strategy and technology firm that specializes in online fundraising, advocacy, social networking, and constituency development. Born out of Howard Dean's 2004 political campaign, Blue State Digital found great success when it raised over $500 million through 6.5 million donations for Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008. Volunteers also used their tools to host over 200,000 events and create more than 45,000 volunteer groups.
Since 2008, they have expanded their focus to a range of brands, movements, and non-profits, for whom they cultivate small-dollar donors, build grassroots movements, and provide tools for engagement.
At this Meetup, Blue State Digital will discuss their techniques for digital engagement in advocacy and how they use them to promote positive change.
As always, networking will be from 6:30-7:00. Presentation will start promptly at 7:00.
