Social Media Breakfast
@giovanni
This will be different than any presentation I’ve ever given. ...except for the last time I gave it...
Today we are going to walk thru a creative brief for a campaign which involves multiple online marketing channels.
Why?
What if you don’t sell social media?
Creative Exercise

Social Media Breakfast
@giovanni
Our prospect will hereafter be referred to as “The Client” and their project will be “The Campaign.” The Client my be a third-party or someone within your own organization who is part of the decision-making process.
This exercise is based upon getting youth involved in a campaign to raise awareness and funds re: combatting hunger in the Horn of Africa.
The firm I am representing in this fictional pitch will be referred to as “The Agency”

The Big Pitch!

Setting Expectations

Passion
• “I have never had a job I was not passionate about.” – Kurt Podeszwa (Camp for All)
• If you are not passionate about what you’re doing, stop. I’m serious. Just stop.
Understanding the landscape
We need to reset:
Anyone who says social media is free and easy doesn’t know squat about running an effective social media campaign.

Restate What You Know

The Current State of the Proposed Campaign
• Ongoing decline in participation
• The Agency believes that at least part of the decline of the campaign can be attributed to not being as relevant as it could be to this new generation of youth.
• Ongoing decline in revenue
• Peak giving year $9 million - Last year giving $5 million

De!ne Key Points

Our approach - We Have To Agree On These Things
• Determine the mission, value proposition, and objective: What is the message?
• Define the context as it relates to the organization: What is the context?
• Decide on the voice(s) of the organization: Who is the messenger?
• Discover where your existing supporters already are: Where are your digital natives?
• Determine where your potential supporters might be: Who else might be interested?
• Decide which technologies could reach them: Where are they engaged?
• Listen to what is already taking place in the space: How receptive will they be?
• Figure out how you can add value to what they do: Do you have beneficial content?
• Decide what your expected outcomes might be: What is the expected outcome?
• Train local group facilitators and leaders in social media: How can they participate?

Identifying Your Target
9
Youth Pro!le - Building Our Persona
• Gen Z is constantly connected… both digitally and emotionally… to their social networks.
• Next to talking in person, the top two ways Gen Z stays connected is through text messaging and talking on social networks.
• 84% are on Facebook and 37% use Twitter.
• Pinterest, Foursquare and Instagram are growing rapidly in popularity.
• Gen Z is more willing to give up allowance, buying clothes and going to the movies than giving up their internet connection or mobile phone.
• Gen Z is concerned… about today and tomorrow.

Youth Pro!le
• They are more socially responsible.
• They are more concerned about the economy than terrorism or wars.
• They are generally pessimistic about the future, believing the world will stay the same or get worse.
Identifying Your Target
• Gen Z is closer to people who are distant geographically than previous generations, which makes them more globally oriented.
• Gen Z is, “coming up in a world shaped by 9/11, Columbine and the War on Terror. They have a sense of social justice, philanthropy and maturity that comes with growing up during one of the most severe economic recessions in history.” (howstuffworks.com/culture)

De!ning The Plan
12
The Plan – What will a local group facilitator experience once they sign up for the Famine Event?
• It begins with The Agency-recommended messaging platform that is built off the Gen Z passion for social justice…
“It’s just not fair”
• It expresses what Gen Z feels about those who they believe are victims of injustice.
• A positioning that is designed to appeal to Gen Z’s sense of social justice.
• It implies that the individual empathizes with the person who is the subject of injustice.

De!ning The Plan

The Plan – What will a local group facilitator experience once they sign up for the Famine Action Event?
• It continues with The Agency-recommended Famine Action Event repositioning to make the Famine event a challenge… not just an event… with a clearly stated national goal.
• A challenge that begins for the group the moment the local group facilitator signs up for the Famine
• A challenge that connects his/her group with like groups across the nation, groups they can not only connect with, but compete against to achieve the stated goal
• A challenge that is energized and catalyzed by Famine Central

• Feature entertainment/info with top musical artist(s)/band(s)
• Provide live reports from Famine groups around the nation
• Feature spokesperson for teaching segment, using this to promote the Famine group small group study
• Provide live feeds or recorded video from location where Famine funds are being used

Go Back Over The Big Points
34
• Reposition Famine Action Event messaging around “It’s not fair” to speak to Gen Z’s passion for social justice
• Reposition Famine Action Event as a national campaign rather than an event, using Famine Central as a key focal point
• Heavily engage social media to address Gen Z’s desire to connect, driving participants to Famine Central
Summary
• Engage in a stream of cultivation that will demonstrate to the local group facilitator and the youth group the impact of their contributions
• Drive group participation in a nationwide simulcast, connecting groups together on a live feed Famine Action weekend
• Conduct a Famine Action weekend live simulcast from Famine Central
• Introduce a Famine Action Event small group curriculum with Bluefish TV/Right Now Ministries to retain current groups and attract new groups
