The Corporate Campaigning Masterclass is a two-day training on how to win campaigns targeting corporations.
From getting banks to pull out of environmentally-risky projects, to boycotts that force better labour rights, and organising shareholders to change corporations’ policies, you'll get to hear from people who have won some of the biggest corporate campaigns around Australia. In addition to case studies, the masterclass explores corporate structure and campaign strategy, alongside skill building workshops shareholder activism, brand pressure, organising staff and litigation.
This training will be delivered online.

TESTIMONIALS:
Great presenters to learn from, a fabulous cohort to learn from, a missing gap filled, and a world of opportunity to target corporates and create change - this class will benefit new and experienced campaigners alike - Lindsay Soutar, Greenpeace
The Corporate Campaigning Masterclass gave me a great overview of the possibilities in corporate campaigning, and ideas on actions you can take right away. There is a lot of knowledge in the NGO sector on how to operate in the political sphere, but this workshop teaches how to deal with corporations and capital. Learning how to use staff and investors was very useful – Rune Woldsnes, The Great Australian Bight Alliance
