You have a critical message. Converso delivers it directly to those who need to hear it.
Want to influence opinion, mobilize supporters, or engage the public around a critical issue? Converso builds and manages fully integrated advocacy and engagement campaigns using live virtual town halls, SMS, IVR polling, and voice broadcasting. From strategy and audience targeting to live events and reporting, we provide the tools, technology, and execution to help organizations reach people directly — at scale.
Traditional media gets your message out. Only direct engagement brings the public in.
Press releases get filtered by editors. Digital advertising gets scrolled past. Even earned media reaches an audience of passive readers — not engaged citizens who have had a chance to ask a question and hear a physician, an expert, or an elected official answer it live. Converso's telephone town hall platform creates the direct connection that no other channel can replicate — at the scale advocacy campaigns require.
Not a media campaign. A direct conversation at scale.
Converso is not an advertising agency and not a digital marketing platform. We are a managed service that puts your spokesperson — a physician, a Minister, an executive director — on a live, two-way telephone call with tens of thousands of community members at a time, in their homes, on their phones, at a time you choose. Every question captured. Every response on record. Every event documented for stakeholders, media, and decision-makers who need to know the public was genuinely engaged.
Every type of public engagement campaign, fully managed.
From a single high-profile advocacy forum to a multi-city, multi-event consultation series — Converso handles every detail so your team focuses on the message, not the logistics.
Public Advocacy Town Halls
Live, outward-facing telephone town halls where your spokesperson makes the case directly to community members — not through media intermediaries. Up to 30,000+ households dialed per event. Live Q&A. Polling. Full post-event documentation for stakeholders and policymakers.
Stakeholder Consultation Series
Structured multi-event consultations with defined stakeholder groups — healthcare professionals, community leaders, municipal residents, sector representatives. Each event documented and reported. The full series tells a coherent engagement story your organization can share publicly.
Multi-Event Campaigns
A coordinated series of events — same message, different communities — managed as a single campaign. Consistent production quality, unified reporting, and a cumulative reach that transforms a single advocacy position into a province-wide or national conversation.
Physician & Expert-Led Forums
Credibility is everything in advocacy. Converso manages physician-led, expert-led, and executive-led public forums where the person making the case is the most trusted voice in the room. Live Q&A from community members. Real answers. Real conversations. No script-filtered talking points.
Community Outreach
High-volume telephone outreach to defined geographic or demographic audiences — neighbourhood by neighbourhood, riding by riding, or across an entire province. Robocall, IVR, SMS, and email channels coordinated through a single managed campaign. Multilingual outreach available.
Polling & Issue Tracking
In-session IVR polling during town halls, post-event surveys, and longitudinal issue tracking across a multi-event campaign. Real-time results during the event. Consolidated data across the series. The evidence base your advocacy needs to make its case to decision-makers.
Ontario Medical Association — "Stop the Crisis": 10 physician-led public town halls, 300,000 people reached
The Ontario Medical Association represents Ontario's physicians. When they needed to bring the healthcare system crisis directly to the communities where their doctors practise — not as a press release, not as a political statement, but as a live, two-way conversation between physicians and patients — they called Converso.
The "Stop the Crisis" campaign ran a series of 10 outward-facing public town halls. Each event targeted 30,000 community members in a specific Ontario riding or region. Local physicians led the conversation — explaining wait times, system pressures, and the real impact on patient care — and took live questions from the community members who called in or stayed on the line.
Across the full campaign, 300,000 phone numbers were reached. The events generated documented public engagement that the OMA could bring directly to government decision-makers as evidence of community awareness and concern. Not a survey. Not a petition. A live, recorded, two-way conversation — at scale.
- ✓No algorithm between your message and the audience
- ✓Live, two-way — citizens ask real questions and get real answers

Canada's leading advocacy organizations trust Converso to make their case to the public.
Advocacy campaigns live or die on credibility. Organizations that choose Converso get more than an event — they get documented proof of public engagement that decision-makers, media, and stakeholders can verify.
"The ability to put a physician directly on a live call with tens of thousands of community members — not through a media filter, but in a real two-way conversation — is something no other engagement format can replicate at this scale. Converso delivered every event in the series, on time and on message."
You define the campaign. We build it, staff it, and deliver it.
Converso manages every element of an advocacy campaign — from audience targeting through post-campaign reporting. You provide the leadership, the message, and the spokesperson. We handle everything else.
