Unlock Your Content & Increase Engagement

There’s a lot of brilliance locked in PDFs right now. Often, organizations spend countless hours working on content for an annual report, policy briefing, or toolkit for their audiences and simply upload it to their website or send as an email attachment when they’re done. But when their audience sees or receives it, they’re stuck and can’t do anything with it.

In this session, I’ll walk through the benefits of unlocking your content to increase engagement and social sharing opportunities, improve SEO and tracking, make your outreach more accessible, and create a seamless and integrated digital experience for supporters.

You’ll walk away with tips, free resources, and examples of organizations that have done this really well in recent years.
