The Schoolyard Bully & AstroNetTurfRoots

Did you ever get into a fight on the schoolyard, see the enormous kid in front of you and wish you had an entire army to back you up?

We all still run into situations like this in the adult worlds of business, politics and government. The difference is that as an adult, you can build that army to back you up.

Welcome to the world of AstroNetTurfRoots.

From successes, failures and experiences in business, government, and politics, I’ve learned something important: That any organization can combine its current and future online fans into an empowered, committed and educated army of advocates for its goals of real-world action.

As adults, our playgrounds are bigger and more connected than they were when we were kids. Great web design and well-executed social media strategy will make your army more powerful — and carry your message much further — than you ever thought possible.

To learn more about advocacy and AstroNetTurfRoots, check out the video embedded here or contact us. We’re here to rock some AstroNetTurfRoots for your cause!
