Social media for political campaigns
Social media for political campaigns, with the guardrails built in.
Ember Social turns your campaign’s own photos, from the doorstep, the town hall and the volunteer table, into finished posts in your campaign’s voice. Your “Paid for by” line goes on every graphic, election guardrails check every post, and nothing goes out until you approve it.
Made for campaigns
What Ember does differently for a campaign
When Ember is set up for a political campaign, it changes how it writes, what it will and will not say, and how posts look.
- A first-person-plural campaign voice that never attacks, mocks or speculates about opponents or other people
- A call to action to join the campaign
- 40 campaign layouts, each with a place reserved for your “Paid for by” line
- No pictures of people are ever generated for a campaign: posts use your own photos and designed graphics with words
Paid for by
Your “Paid for by” line, exactly as you write it
You write it
Ember asks for your line in chat and never makes one up. It is used exactly as you typed it, never shortened or reworded.
It goes on every graphic
By default the line is drawn on every full-size graphic, in the space campaign layouts reserve for it, or in clear empty space on other layouts.
Captions too, if you want
You can also add the line to captions. When a channel limits caption length, the caption is shortened and the line is kept whole.
Change it once
If your line changes, every post that has not been published yet is updated.
Election guardrails
What Ember will not post
Every campaign post is checked before it reaches you. Ember will not write:
- Election dates, polling places, registration deadlines or ballot numbers you did not supply
- Endorsements, quotes, polls, percentages or statistics you did not supply
- Claims about opponents, other candidates, officials or any other real person
- A request for donations without your donate link
- Get-out-the-vote posts after election day
No paid ads
Organic posts only
Ember does not run political ads. Paid advertising is switched off for campaign workspaces, and Ember’s Terms do not allow political, electoral or social-issue ads. Organic posting to your own channels works as usual.
Your campaign remains responsible for its own statements and for any disclaimer the law requires. Ember gives you the tools and checks; you approve every post.
Post ideas
What a campaign can post about
- A volunteer shift, with how to sign up
- An upcoming town hall or meet-and-greet, with the details you supply
- One issue, in the candidate’s own words
- Thank-you posts after canvassing weekends
- Meet the team: the people running the campaign
- A local place that matters to the candidate, and why
- Yard signs: where to get one
- A donate post, with your donate link
Does Ember add a “Paid for by” line for me?
Ember uses your own line, exactly as you type it, and never makes one up. By default it goes on every full-size graphic; you can also add it to captions. If you choose no line, nothing is drawn, and your campaign stays responsible for any disclaimer the law requires.
Can Ember run political ads?
No. Paid ads are not available for political campaigns in Ember. Organic posting to your own channels works as usual.
Will Ember make up election information?
No. Ember will not write election dates, polling places, registration deadlines, ballot numbers, endorsements, polls or statistics that your campaign did not supply, and it checks every post for them before it reaches you.
