PEOPLE POWER
We deliver evidence-based support to help you stay current in a fast-changing world.
We help you make change
With rampant inequalities, declining public participation, and an accelerating climate emergency, we need people to take action in many forms and in eclectic professional settings. That is why we work with social enterprises and social movements; community projects and NGOS; activist collectives and public institutions.
Innovation defines our work
We have trained thousands of people since we were founded in 2016 as France's first mobilisation incubator. But the needs of our clients have changed, and we've grown into a collective of diverse specialists, offering so much more than training.
We deliver the full support package
We deliver evidence-based advice, grounded in research on your organisation. But we don't just do advice, we do implementation. As a certified training organisation, we use engaging methods to deliver skills that you can put into action from day one.
Testimonials
What our partners say about us
Martial Breton
Co-founder
[The Campaign Accelerator provided] decisive support that gave us a sense of perspective and key fundamentals to structure our movement.
Cristiana Cerri Gambarelli
Project Manager
They studied and asked the right questions, and doing so always outperformed any contractor who only comes in for the time of the project and then disappears.
Julien Massillon
Communications Manager
We had well established habits: the methodology helped us to review the order in which we saw things and rethink our campaign design strategies.
The Campaign Accelerator: A Brief History
2016
The first mobilisation incubator in France is launched
With rising far-right politics, accelerating climate catastrophe, and declining public participation in France, The Campaign Accelerator is founded out of necessity. Specifically, a necessity to upskill the French nonprofit and social movement landscape in strategy and tools related to mobilisation.
2016-2019
Our impact spreads throughout France as we formalise
We developed various training formats such as a high impact hackathon, directly training around 1,500 people, supporting 60 projects over the course of 3 months each, and raising hundreds of thousands of euros. Supported by a small board, the organisation consolidates into a classic NGO structure.
2019-2020
We transition into a collective focused on deep impact
Our team diversifies, with specialised experts in research, facilitation, and more allowing us to offer a full package of support to organisations. Externally, we focus on a smaller number of handpicked (and often long-running) missions. Internally, we transition into a horizontal collective of experts who are active in multiple organisations in parallel.
2020-2022
The Campaign Accelerator goes international
With an increasingly multi-lingual and multinational team, we grow beyond the borders of France, working with organisations as diverse as party political federations in Brussels and indigenous rights defenders at Latin America. We innovate internally, taking on staff members to support the work of the freelancers.
