Reach new donors and activists with ads that highlight your brand and message in a memorable way.
Acquire new email subscribers directly on platform with our Lead Ad unit—no landing page required. Built-in email validation and suppression mean you only pay for new subscribers, from $0.75 each.
Drive fired-up prospects 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.
Campaigns with the Leads objective give folks 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.
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 leads 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 lead is lower in almost every case. And the quality is 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, we charge low fixed rates for leads 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 D.C. 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, unions, associations, Democratic campaigns, PACs, publishers, and brands.
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.
