Public Engagement
Engage your community.
Ongoing outreach, public engagement, and adaptive management are vital in facilitating the governance objectives of public agencies.
CivicMic works with public servants to bring citizen voices into governance by providing new methods of public interaction by data sharing with interactive media. Engaging community members on a continuous basis increases a community’s livability and builds trust by improving communications between public servants, community leaders and the public. Commitment to outreach and linking community members’ participation to the decision-making process is the number one goal of CivicMic. View some of our case studies here.
We create and manage dedicated project websites to serve as central hubs for information, updates, and public input. Our digital tools support ongoing engagement, making it easy for the community to stay informed and involved.

We develop clear, accessible content including project updates, FAQs, infographics, videos, and presentations to help explain complex information and keep the community informed throughout every stage of the project.
Collaborative governance through “digital democracy” continues to grow in importance as new generations rely heavily on technology to obtain information and engage in every aspect of their lives. This trend makes online surveying and participation perhaps the most effective way to get opinions of the community. CivicMic allows constituents to get involved in decision-making and results from the engagement process are readily available which makes everyone feel a part of the governance process.
