In this opinion piece for PRWeek, Marathon's CEO and Founder Phil Singer explores how the PR industry can help drive COVID-19 vaccination efforts.

Phil noted, "Businesses must view vaccination efforts like any other long-term public campaign or policy challenge that require a sustained, strategic communications plan to succeed, particularly given the enormous business implications: Getting more employees vaccinated means a safer work environment and fewer chances for outbreaks that could force employers to close their doors."

In 2020, demonstrations against police brutality were not confined to the streets. But has the historically high online conversation about policing influenced legislative action at the state level?

This is what we had in mind when we undertook Say Their Names, a project that aimed to track and analyze public sentiment toward police reform, state-by-state, and compare that sentiment with the volume of police-reform proposed or enacted by each state’s legislative and executive branch.

CBS This Morning featured the report on a recent episode – watch the segment here: https://bit.ly/3fe6sSg

Hear from Phil Singer, Marathon’s founder and CEO on the implications of this report.

While there were in-person protests across the nation last year, many Americans turned to online platforms to lend their voice to the cause of social justice and to demand reforms in police training, arrest procedures, and other law enforcement policies following the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks and Breonna Taylor.

These online conversations shaped the discourse around Black Lives Matter as it grew into one of the largest movements in U.S. history.

With a resurgence of social justice demonstrations emerging as former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is put on trial for the murder of George Floyd, Marathon Strategies and The BLK+Cross released a report providing new insights into the role that social media and online activism played in driving political action on social justice reforms in 2020.

Marathon Strategies sought to track and analyze online conversations about police reform across the nation and compared them to the volume of police reform proposed, enacted or sought by each state’s lawmakers.

The result is our Say Their Names report, which found that, in many cases, a larger volume of online conversation about a specific state’s social justice issues coincided with a greater number of police reform bills in that state.
