5 Quick Tips: Using the Educate & Elevate Campaign Video as an Effective Communication Tool    
    
The Educate & Elevate campaign  has a wide range of effective communication tools to raise awareness about the relevancy of adult education. One tool is a short animated video that builds a business case of support for adult education.
 

Here are five quick tips for using the video to spread the word about the campaign.  
  1. Post a link to the video on your website with a brief description such as "See how adult education improves the lives of adult learners across the country." Place the link on your home page in a "What's New" or "About" section.
  2. If you have a newsletter, promote the video link in a separate stand-alone article or as a standing link in the table of contents or header of the newsletter.
  3. Create social media posts pulling content from the video and using the campaign hashtag #educate&elevate, and post the video on your YouTube Channel if you have one.
  4. Distribute the video link to key stakeholders to inform them about adult education.
  5. If you have any upcoming community presentations, start with the video as your introduction.
 
News Media Coverage: Campaign Press Release Template
 
You don't have to be an expert in working with the news media to get coverage for your organization when you leverage the Educate & Elevate Campaign Toolkit. We've developed a press release template  that adult education organizations can use to announce participation in the Educate and Elevate campaign.
 
How do you use it?
 
Download the press release template . Key facts that you'll need to complete the template include the following:
  • A quote from your organization's executive director; there is a suggested quote in the press release template.
  • Data that can demonstrate the number of people you serve in your community through adult education programs and/or a human interest story about an adult learner. Make sure you submit the success story of the adult learner to the Educate & Elevate campaign.
Once the press release is ready, distribute it to your local media contacts, post it on your website, and use your social media channels to announce your participation in the campaign using #educate&elevate with a link to the press release.
