Top Running Tips

Every word is important

 

You have 1,000 characters to let the world know why your campaign matters, so every word needs careful selection. Read through your first draft and check for repetition. Introduce an idea, explain it, and then move on.

Use bold text, sub-headings and rich content

 

Online, people scan for keywords and links so make sure yours stand out. Bold up the sentences you don’t want people to miss and use sub-headings or bullet points to break longer content down into manageable chunks. Our Campaign Pages now support rich content, so embed videos and use quotes for added impact.
