Civic Shout, the ad platform for progressive causes.
“A wildly better way to grow your email list!”
Civic Shout is special because we’ve grown our own email-based audience of millions—consisting of progressive donors and activists who want to hear from causes like yours.
On top of our audience, we’ve built a lightweight ads manager to help you reach them without all the hassle and complexity you’re used to.
Causes tell us our opt-ins sit at the top of their ROI lists. In fact, 8 of 10 are repeat buyers. Our high-intent audience and low fixed costs make Civic Shout hard to beat.
Unlike Meta ads, you’re not gambling with impression-based billing. With Civic Shout, you only pay for the number of opt-ins or clicks you want—removing tons of uncertainty.
“We’re seeing ROI that’s much better than Facebook ads.”
“The remaining acquisition budget I have I would put into Civic Shout at this point.”
“We created our account on Friday and had 1,500 opt-ins by the end of the day!”
Grow your opt-in email list with this on-platform petition unit—no landing page required. It features email validation and suppression list support—enabling you to acquire new-to-list subscribers for as little as $0.75 each.
Drive fired-up activists to destinations of your choosing at a fixed cost-per-click as low as $0.45. This objective offers flexible ad units that can rise to any occasion and is priced to deliver great results, fast.
Activists from our email network sign petitions created by Civic Shout. After signing, they can browse through a stack of suggested actions—containing your ads.
To see for yourself sign a Civic Shout petition.
Reach new donors and activists with ads that highlight your brand and message in a memorable way.
Campaigns with the Email Acquisition objective give petition signers the option to join your list, or not—putting them in control of their data.
In short, our leads often donate at higher rates than others out there. And because they also cost less on Civic Shout, this magic combo helps you raise more money.
Unlike Care2 or Meta, we generate ad views from our email network of millions. Since these activists have to open, click, and then sign a petition before even seeing your ad, they’re higher quality than opt-ins sourced elsewhere.
Unlike most petitions, we prominently display a disclaimer and checkbox that makes it obvious to activists that they have the option to join your list. This increases opt-in quality and filters out less engaged leads.
Tired of Meta’s lousy 40-60% suppression match rates? Civic Shout’s suppression matches precisely to 100% of the hashed emails you upload, so you’ll have actual control of your suppression strategy.
You only pay for opt-ins that pass our 3rd party email validation test (which also protects your deliverability). If passed, they’re added to your CSV or CRM.
“Compared to Facebook, Civic Shout’s cost per opt-in is lower in almost every case. And the quality of the opt-ins are by and large better.”
“Head-to-head against several acquisition channels, Civic Shout won, with over 200% ROAS in two months..”
Here's where you’ll publish and manage your Civic Shout ad campaigns. This user-friendly console puts you in control without all the hassle you’re used to.
“I was surprised how easy it was to use. There’s nothing like it!”
“We’ve seen very high action rates!”
“98% of our Civic Shout opt-ins are still subscribed after several weeks.”
“National Facebook opt-ins are around $2-10 these days. The fact that these are as low as $0.75 is incredible.”
“When we needed a little help, we got it immediately.”
You’re not burning hours testing ads in hopes of getting a decent cost per result
You’re not stuck because your pixel still won’t fire or because your “verified” account has been disabled at the worst possible time
Civic Shout’s superpower, and thusly yours, is that unlike Meta (who charges variably based on impressions), we charge low fixed rates for opt-ins and clicks. So you’ll know upfront what you’ll get for your spend. And you can get started for as little as $100.
Since our audience is already narrowed down to progressives that donate and/or take action across the U.S., you can get amazing results from your budget with just a couple targeting options. These include national and state options—including DC and Puerto Rico.
Beyond that, our ad-matching algorithm takes into account multiple factors that help your ads reach your ideal prospects without laborious campaign configuration.
The platform is open to progressively aligned 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations, labor unions, Democratic campaigns, PACs, and socially responsible businesses.
Some of our current partners are working to protect the environment, expand voting rights and civil rights, fight for economic justice, stand up for the rights of women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community, and more.
Yes! You can easily upload your logo and specify your primary and secondary brand colors. They will be included automatically in the design of every ad you create.
For campaigns that are using the Email Acquisition objective, the best way to access your opt-ins’ contact information is by using our secure Action Network, EveryAction, or NGP VAN integrations. If you don’t use one of those CRMs, you can download CSVs 24/7 through your petition’s dashboard instead.
