Hey, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.

I was about to pick up a new contract, but now the election has been announced I'm quite interested in joining up to help with some projects like this.

If I can find some interesting/impactful projects I'm happy volunteering full time up to the election.

By the way, how is your site promoted?

Purely organic for the most part.

We have 2 or 3 people on the team who work social media, and TBH this is what the majority of the work is.

They may draft a press release, and send it via email to a few contacts. But for the most part, this is extremely unfunded and independent work, with a few people manually writing all of the social media posts and replies.

This time they're discussing actually cut and pasting templates from Google Docs, so it's improving!
