Purple Forge and KnowWho Announce Partnership On Mobile Apps for Advocacy Organizations
Mt. Vernon, Virginia (PRWEB) July 31, 2014 -- Purple Forge and KnowWho today announced their partnership to extend KnowWho’s political and legislative data information onto Apple, Android, BlackBerry and other mobile devices. This partnership has already been successfully battle-tested in a number of organizations, including the Missouri NEA, who was awarded a Gold Pollie™ from the American Association of Political Consultants for the Best App for an Internet or Public Affairs campaign.
"Purple Forge’s mobile application expertise and KnowWho’s clean, comprehensive legislative data at the federal, state and local level will continue to allow us to deliver the most innovative experience to our clients," said Bruce Brownson, CEO of KnowWho. “Our clients will be able to quickly engage their members, and in turn, help to fight for legislative change.”
Mobile applications now comprise over 86% of daily Smartphone usage according to Flurry Analytics, and association, union and advocacy organizations have started to leverage mobile apps as the key way to engage their members through features such as advocacy postcards, find your legislator and get-out-to-vote initiatives. KnowWho will be attending the NCSL Legislative Summit in Minneapolis from August 19-22 and will be available to discuss the value of mobile apps combined with their data and advocacy tools.
"Purple Forge is pleased to partner with KnowWho whose client base is very active in the pursuit of the latest tools to enact legislative change," said John Craig, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Purple Forge. "Together, we offer a well matched portfolio to drive best of breed services for political advocacy and engagement across any platform."
