THE CAMPAIGN

One question. Many answers. A shared invitation to build.

01

Lead with the question

“Who gets to build the future?” opens a national conversation about whose ideas, places and institutions shape what comes next.

02

Make the answer visible

Each image names the people, places, organizations and capabilities already building the future of entrepreneurship.

03

Invite people into the work

Every post points back to one clear action: join us in building the future of entrepreneurship in America.

PROMOTION PLAYBOOK

What to share, when to share it and what each asset is for.

LAUNCH WINDOWSEP 22–OCT 2Earlier in the window is preferred.

Start with your launch image and announcement post.

Publish your organization’s Image 1 and its matching launch copy between Tuesday, September 22 and Friday, October 2, 2026. This establishes your organization’s role in the campaign before you use any follow-up assets.

Post wherever your audience is. Use LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, your e-newsletter, email, website or other community channels. LinkedIn is simply where ESHIP Alliance will concentrate its own campaign.

OUR LINKEDIN CAMPAIGN

Join the ESHIP Alliance conversation on LinkedIn.

ESHIP Alliance will run its core campaign on the ESHIP Alliance LinkedIn page. After publishing your own launch post on the channels that work best for you, visit our LinkedIn launch post and add a comment expressing your support. You might write “We get to build the future!”, “[Your organization name] is building the future!”, or another message of support.

Share the launch post with your network—and whenever you publish campaign content on LinkedIn, tag @ESHIP Alliance so we can see, engage with and amplify your post.
