Outreach Strategists led public engagement for the largest auto safety recall in U.S. history. In major Texas markets, including Houston and Dallas, we successfully organized a coalition of more than 140 community leaders and groups, who shared critical, life-saving information about the recall with their constituents. With a focus on minority and low-income communities, our engagement efforts included a first-of-its-kind recall canvass operation, knocking on 135,000-plus doors to urge vehicle owners to take advantage of the free life-saving recall.
