# [How Tegna's New Brand "Verify This" Is Utilizing Subtext](https://info.joinsubtext.com/blog/how-tegna-is-utilizing-subtext-for-verify-this)

 Written by [Subtext](https://info.joinsubtext.com/blog/author/subtext) | May 11, 2021

This week we’re highlighting a Subtext first: A host launching a text campaign alongside a new brand. **[Verify This](https://www.verifythis.com/) is a newly launched ****multi-platform interactive program, and [Subtext campaign](https://joinsubtext.com/verifythis), dedicated to helping communities distinguish between true and false information. **Powered by [TEGNA](https://www.tegna.com/), the VERIFY team's objective is to serve the greater good of communities by combating misinformation. But, not without the help of questions and claims submitted by their audience.

VERIFY provides insight into claims and sources allowing their audience to see exactly how the team verifies the information. **As they focus on driving awareness, Subtext seamlessly compliments their vision to encourage informative discussions.**

As we know, promotional strategies can be done in various ways. But the question is, which strategies have the most potential and how do you truly maximize reach? Essentially, it's about the platforms you focus your efforts on to reach your target audience. VERIFY focuses on communities, and communities are most approachable when they feel a part of the conversation.

By opening up the floor for claims, feedback, and follow-up questions, VERIFY is eager to start the conversation and determined to continue it.

In addition to its commitment to transparency, VERIFY sets a great example of spreading the word via creative promotional efforts. Leading up to their website launch, they integrated newsletters, blog posts, tweets, and introductory video*s *that also promoted their Subtext campaign.
