Platform
Built for advocacy practitioners by those that have been there and worked on hundreds of campaigns over the course of more than a decade, SparkInfluence provides not only the tools and content you need to educate, engage and empower your stakeholders but also the real-time access to data that will help you track, manage and encourage repeat action.
A NEW ERA – INBOUND ADVOCACY
Grassroots advocacy has changed over the last decade. What may have worked years ago hardly registers with advocates today. Yet the tools used to not only generate action but track and encourage repeat action are woefully behind the times. There needs to be a new, layered approach with a true cloud-based, enterprise software solution. An approach that educates, engages and empowers advocates to action. An approach that effectively tracks, manages and encourages repeat action. And an approach that helps to quickly and easily convey the importance of your effort. It’s a new era of Inbound Advocacy, and it needs a real software solution. Inbound Advocacy needs SparkInfluence.

DATA AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Every action, every inaction, every interaction is a data point that has the potential to improve your advocacy effort. Yet most tools bury that data, showing only bits and pieces and making admins spend hours reading spreadsheets before putting together reports that should be at the ready. With SparkInfluence, the data you want is at your fingertips, visually, ready for you to analyze and act upon as needed.
