Cap Soc Helps Mobilize 5 Million Black Voters in the 2020 Presidential Election
The current political climate is marked by high levels of partisanship and deep divides, making it difficult for messaging to get through to target audiences. The 2020 Presidential Election was no exception. CAP SOC partnered with the Biden/Harris outreach team and Ghost Note Agency to tap into the interests, passion points, and nuances of Black culture to create authentic connections with Black voters. During a month-long project, Cap Soc activated community through creative messaging and seeding content in innovative ways.
Voters turned out in record numbers, letting their voices be heard and pushing our government to work in ways that are more reflective of the diverse populations that make up our country. Cap Soc is proud to have supported these efforts in shaping our democracy in ways that better represent We The People.
