- Provide our army of ambassadors with facts, figures and information to respond to false facts shared by antis in day-to-day conversations.
- Allow those curious about the industry to find an accurate and balanced view on common concerns they may have about horse racing.
- Create shareable content that can help change the conversation and kick up for horse racing.

Amplification focus:
increase our impact
The third part of the vision is to increase our impact. The first requirement is to:
- Implement a social-listening strategy providing, a) a method to measure campaign impact, b) insights on growing concerns, and c) methods to curate targeted campaigns that resonate widely.
With funding support from the industry, modern marketing technology tools and best practise in PR management can be utilised, to:
- Creating resources for industry ambassadors to draw on and influence their networks.
- Building out engagement strategies so Australians can be exposed to more effective industry promotions.
- Look at strategies to help position the industry better in the public space, such as addressing inter-industry language and developing pre-emptive PR materials for crisis management.
- Implement a sophisticated SEO strategy.
As we continue to gather feedback on the most common concerns about horse racing, we will working with leaders to ensure the industry works together to drive needed change.
