Civil society campaigns seek local, national or international objectives. A strategically well planned campaign is a potent tool to translate policies into action oriented implementation and to garner huge public support for any social cause. Employing campaign techniques for sensitization and creating awareness not only requires clear understanding of the subject in hand to bring the intended change but it is also quintessential to arm with theconventional art of campaigning . A frequent tactic of civil society campaigns is the deployment of high profile stunts and actions to draw attention to their cause. However, the fundamental question is for any successful campaign is merely high profile stunts the only method to catch the attention? Or does a blend of multi campaign techniques lead to a much more successful campaign. As a key focus area Lead The Action launches various social campaigns not only to create awareness but also to 'Take Action & Bring Change'.
