One of the largest Christian Technology Companies in America, GLOO has been helping churches figure out how to better use data. Recently, GLOO has focused on a national marketing campaign called “He Gets Us.” These ads, run online as well as other ad channels, have been un-earthing spiritual explorers and connecting them to partnering churches for relationship and even discipleship.
Talk about doing something different to connect with different people! The He Gets Us campaign is an incredible opportunity for lots of churches, if not especially for those embracing a digital discipleship process.
Learn more about the GLOO campaign, and explore how churches like yours can maximize the opportunity of He Gets Us… right here on The Church Digital Podcast.
