"How to Win Campaigns: 100 Steps to Success"

If this site has helped at all, you may be interested in my latest book. It expands on the suggestions here and provides a comprehensive exploration of what works in campaigning and contains a practical how-to guide of one hundred key steps or tools for developing effective campaigns applicable to any issue.

[If you are interested to know more about my background and experience, read my account of "How I learnt about campaigns".]

Content includes how to begin a campaign, motivating people, research and development including issue mapping, planning using the campaign planning star, organizing communications including visual language, constructing campaign propositions, insight into news media, how to keep a campaign going, how to use old and new media, and what to do and what not to do.

You can order the book "How to Win Campaigns: 100 Steps to Success" from Earthscan.
