A new messaging platform that enables organizations to speak directly with thousands of supporters in real-time.

Every mobile phone has SMS functionality, and with 98% of SMS texts being opened within hours, if not minutes, direct dialogue channels are the most powerful way to drive engagement and conversion. But it’s not practical to meet with all your supporters face-to-face, or by phone (only 30-40% of people answer) leaving Peer-to-Peer (P2P) a unique and under-utilised opportunity to increase reach, engagement and conversion. P2P texting has successfully shown to maximise participation in event sign-up, activism, mobilisation, engagement and fundraising.

Incorporating both real human conversation with pre-scripted Q&A’s, Activate is a P2P text messaging platform that works as a two-way interaction stream to communicate with a database of supporters in real-time, making it the first offering of its kind in the UK. Activate leverages the unsaturated market of SMS communications, making it a valuable opportunity to deepen relationships with your supporters to engage in further action, participate and/or donate.

“

Activate has been a valuable tool in our campaign. We reached thousands of supporters within minutes and had an expert team at the ready to engage in conversation and drive action. We used Activate to recruit volunteers, get people out to events and raise significant funds. Brexit is a complex issue, and the landscape is changing daily, hourly even, which makes this fast response, mass reach and personalised communication channel a vital tool in our tool box.”
