By the time a campaign becomes visible, the strategic ground has already shifted.
The Activist Playbook™ breaks down the tactics and structures behind organized activist pressure — not as protest coverage, but as a system of influence that reshapes policy, reputation, and risk long before leaders are forced to react.
The goal isn’t commentary. It’s foresight: helping leaders recognize pressure early and act while options still exist.
Activist Playbook: Pick a Side
We’re conditioned to see complex issues in black and white: for or against, good or evil. Activists exploit this with a tactic called Condition the Binary — a framing strategy that silences nuance, discredits dissent, and forces public alignment. In this Activist Playbook entry, we break down how it works, why it’s effective, and what leaders must do to avoid losing control of the narrative.
