executive summary St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has a prestigious history of serving the needs of sick children, finding cures, and instilling hope where there was none. The organization was created through a promise and a dream, and they have continued to change the lives of children and their parents. As with all nonprofits, sustainability is the ultimate objective. How will SJCRH continue to finance the efforts of this prominent organization? We can answer that question. The following 12-month Integrated Marketing Communications Plan expands upon SJCRH’s historical efforts, and integrates all channels, including interactive/digital marketing, out-of-home marketing and social and mobile marketing to strengthen the SJCRH brand and increase monetary donations among the largest and most powerful generation to ever come of age – the Millennials. During this campaign, $3 million in donations will be raised from the target audience through a fresh, inspiring and connected array of platforms, products and enhancements to existing programs. Who Are We Talking To? The main focus of this campaign will be male and female Young Urban Professionals, aged 21-30, living in urban centers throughout the United States. How Will We Achieve This? Through “Don’t Say Yes. Be Yes” messaging promoted via print/digital advertisements, social and email marketing, live events, press releases, sweepstakes, and through the dedicated employees, volunteers and partner organizations. A Vision for the Future The “Be Yes” campaign provides SJCRH the means to evolve their core mission’s external messaging beyond disaster relief to include their other public services. It leverages the robust chapter network in its implementation. In addition, it addresses Millennial trends toward responsible giving and conscious consumerism. Millennials want to have a positive impact on their communities and society, but currently have no established or majority donation preferences. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital will establish that preference. The integrated approach of this campaign means that all aspects of internal communication and external marketing work together to achieve these goals. The objectives, strategies, tactics and results will strengthen SJCRH’s place in the U.S. market, and provide the blueprint for winning this powerful cohort for years to come.

background St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (SJCRH) was born out of a dream and a promise, from a man who envisioned serving the needs of sick children. Danny Thomas was down on his luck and seeking spiritual guidance, with strong religious convictions, the would-be entertainer prayed to St. Jude Thaddeus, asking for a sign. In his prayers, Thomas promised, “show me my way and I will build you a shrine”. The guidance Thomas asked for was bestowed upon him, and he was offered an acting job just a few days later. Thomas’ career proceeded to take off after his big break, and he never forgot the promise he had made. After years of fundraising, the promise he made became a reality. In 1962, SJCRH opened its doors and so began the legacy of hope, anchored by their mission to advance cures, drive research, and always strive for positive patient outcomes. Thanks to the research and treatment regimens developed at St Jude, the organization has increased the survival rate for childhood cancer to 80%, and they have every reason to believe that within the next decade that number will reach 90%. (Historic American Charities, n.d.) Since the organization’s inception, SJCRH has delivered care free of charge to all children, regardless of race, creed, or country of origin, and they have continued to do so for the past fifty years. SJCRH has always extended a promise to both child and parent alike, a dedicated message that echoes throughout their hallways, “finding cures and saving children”. (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, n.d.) The mission of SJCRH is simple yet significant: advance cures and preventative measures via research and treatment for childhood diseases so that no child dies in the dawn of life. However, this mission has a steep financial burden. Fundraising obviously has been a critical component to the longevity of the organization. Today’s operating costs for SJCRH approaches $2 million per day, and 75% of annual operating costs are provided for by private donations. (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, n.d.) Realizing the importance of long term funding, Danny Thomas created ALSAC –American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities in 1957. The organization has been the financial backbone of the research hospital since before the doors ever opened, or a single treatment took place. ALSAC is the second largest healthcare charity in the US, and the immense power of the St. Jude brand continues to set precedent in fundraising circles. In 2012, ALSAC produced $785 million for SJCRH. (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, n.d.) The hospital’s fundraising events are designed to reach people of all ages, with the youngest seeking donations from parents and friends. The events include tricycle races for toddlers, walkathons, radiothons, golf tournaments, house raffles, fancy dinners, and all-night dance parties and Greek events on college campuses. The hospital has more than 1,000 people on its fundraising staff, many of whom

Page 14: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 13

work with local volunteers to plan grass-roots events. Volunteers are often recruited to help support the many events that take place each year, across the country, to raise funds for the organization. Every year more than 31,000 fundraising activities and events take place on behalf of St. Jude and new programs are continually launched nationally and locally to raise funds. (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, n.d.) SJCRH also participates in direct marketing to solicit donations, as well as giveaways, and opportunities to volunteer at sponsored events. SJCRH has separated the United States by region to allow individuals to participate and volunteer in their own community. Regional and community fundraisers include fundraising dinners, raffle tickets, race events, golf events, game party events, and special events hosted by community members. Each region manages their events and volunteer activity through individual Facebook pages and email conversations that allow the volunteers to always be aware of the events in their area. Volunteers also have the opportunity to submit volunteer ideas through St. Jude’s website. SJCRH has begun to embrace social media in recent years to stay current and engage with its many fans and followers. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest are its primary tools while it also manages a LinkedIn company page, Google+ page, an email newsletter and a blog with sporadic activity. Sentiment across social media platforms is very positive. In addition to positive and heartwarming comments, the engagement levels of followers are off the charts. Like many non-profit organizations, SJCRH faces a number of challenges, which, at the same time, opens the doors for opportunity. Specifically, the youth and millennial markets are becoming prime audiences for SJCRH where they are currently struggling to build relationships. For many brands, this is a tough age group to reach. Millennials, or those born from the late 1970s to the early 2000s (making them between 17-35 year olds), are very technology-focused, confident, forward thinking, hungry to get involved in workplace initiatives, and enjoy giving back. SJCRH is one of those employers that changes the world and gives employees the opportunity to do the same. It's the only cancer research hospital devoted exclusively to children, and its work in this area has directly contributed to dramatically improving the pediatric cancer survival rate in the United States. The company's balance of innovation and compassion helped rank it as the most sought-after employer among Millennials. By planting the seed with today’s young professionals, SJCRH can light the fire for social sharing, and rapidly heighten the level of impressions and engagement for many different types of online materials.

competitive analysis Because the overall marketing goal of this proposal is to engage and create an affinity for young professionals between the ages of 21 and 30 with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the following brands have been analyzed based on their involvement in major fundraising events for this age group. Although not direct competitors to the mission of SJCRH, each of these groups is competing directly for the time and monetary donations of Millennials.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has been in existence for more than 100 years, working at its mission “to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.” Its programs are dedicated to researching new treatments as well as spreading the word about existing treatments and providing preventative and diagnostic services. ACS holds several annual events including Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and No Shave November. Another popular event is the Relay for Life, in which teams commit to walking on a track all night long to raise money for this organization. (American Cancer Society, n.d.)

The Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) raises money for a network of 170 children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada, allowing these facilities to use it where they need it most. Funds have been used for research, equipment, training and patient care. The organization raised $320,921,968 in 2013, up from 2012. Fundraisers are primarily centered on the CMN $1 paper “Miracle Balloon” sales at retail checkout counters, but the organization has also found great success in its fundraising events partnering with corporations to sponsor “Miracle Jeans Day,” where employees who donate to CMN can wear jeans to work. CMN is also well known for its telethons, golf classic and the Miss America pageant. (Children’s Miracle Network, n.d.)

Shriners Hospitals for Children (SHC) strives to provide the highest quality care to children with neuromusculoskeletal conditions, burn victims and other special needs. The organization is also dedicated to research and professional education. Shriners Hospitals are located in 22 cities across North America. Total revenue in 2013 was $615,241,000. Fundraising is primarily through donations and planned giving, but the SHC Open and Walk for Love events contribute to the overall cause. (Shriners Hospitals for Children, n.d.)

Page 16: IMC 636 Capstone

The Make a Wish Foundation (MAW) grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories. IN 2013 MAW raised over $216,000,000 through donations and grants. More than 310,000 wishes worldwide, 226,000 of those in the United States, have been granted since the organization started in 1980. Popular fundraising programs include donating airline miles, workplace giving, and “Walk for Wishes.” Long time sponsors include Disney and Macy’s. (Make a Wish Foundation, n.d.)

Susan G. Komen for the Cure (SGK) is an organization credited with launching the global breast cancer movement. It is dedicated to working to end breast cancer through research, outreach and advocacy programs in the U.S. and 50 countries worldwide. The organization’s annual revenue in 2012 was $398,965,000, with $163,857,000 coming from donations and $257,850,000 coming from its popular run/walk race events and the Susan G. Komen 3- Day walk. In addition to these events, SGK offers Komen-branded merchandise for sale on their website. (Susan G. Komen, n.d.)

The American Heart Association’s (AHA) mission is to “build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.” It has developed many programs to provide forums for research and collaboration as well as to educate Americans about healthy choices. The organization’s annual revenue in 2013 was $686,538,000 with $173,418,000 coming from individual contributions, which are down from 2012. One of the biggest initiatives of the AHA is Go Red for Women, which engages women with healthy lifestyle tips and articles. (American Heart Association, n.d.)

Each of these organizations encourages Millennials to participate in their fundraising and volunteer opportunities through the events mentioned; however, no one organization has the lion’s share of followers among the 21-30 year old audience. The task at hand is to position opportunities for Millennials to not only contribute financially but, more importantly to the group, in ways where they can see the full impact of their contribution.

Meet Kaitlyn… she’s 25 and starting her career as a marketing assistant. She shares a two-bedroom apartment because she can’t afford to live on her own with her entry-level salary, but she occasionally splurges on a designer purse or cute shoes. But she also uses outlet-shopping apps like RueLaLa and Zulily to score deals on things she could not ordinarily afford.

Recently she upgraded to the new iPhone 6 to stay current with her peers and because she is a fan of mobile technology, frequently using Snapchat and Facebook to stay in touch with friends or share photos of her dog, Pepper. Because she is new to her city, and she wants to meet new people, she hasgotten involved with the Humane Society and joined the local alumni association for her alma mater. She doesn’t have a lot of disposable income, but she does have time to give and enjoys socializing with people with similar interests and networking for better job opportunities. Even though her funds are stretched she still budgets for the occasional concert, college football game, or dinner with friends. She’s a little skeptical when it comes to fund raising and awareness programs because of failures she’s observed with the NFL, Susan G. Komen, and Kids Wish Network.

Kaitlyn fits the target audience for SJCRH and the plan presented by firefly communications because she’s a Millennial, on a budget but still finds a way to enjoy being a girl, and wants to say “yes” to a cause… while meeting new people, making connections, improving her skillset, and having a good time. She embraces social media, and would be a brand ambassador for the right cause.

target audience Millennials are the social generation. They’re the founders of the social media movement - constantly connected to their social circles via online and mobile. They prefer to live in dense, diverse urban villages where social interaction is just outside their front doors. They value authenticity and creativity, and they buy local goods made by members of their communities. They care about their families, friends and philanthropic causes. Because the overall marketing goal of this proposal is to engage and create an affinity for young professionals between the ages of 21 and 30 with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the following brands have been analyzed based on their involvement in major fundraising events for this age group. Although not direct competitors to the mission of SJCRH, each of these groups is competing directly for the time and monetary donations of Millennials The target market is young professionals aged 21 to 30. For the purposes of this proposal, the target market will hereafter be referred to as Millennials.

Millennials have been the subject of abundant analysis and commentary, mostly revolving around their avid use of technology, changing media-consumption habits, and entry into the workforce. On average, Millennials already influence the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars annually - an amount that will only increase as they mature into their peak earning and spending years Although the youngest members of the Millennial generation are still economically dependent on Mom and Dad, older Millennials are beginning to enter their peak spending years. Not yet set in their ways, they are forming preferences, exhibiting tendencies, and influencing one another’s opinions and behaviors. This generation engages with brands, channels, and service models in new ways limited only by the rate of technological advancement and innovation. This desire for connection and shared experience also extends offline. Millennials are much more likely to engage in group activities - especially with people outside their immediate family. They dine, shop, and travel with friends and coworkers, to whom they look for validation that they’ve made the right decisions. Millennials want to bear part of the social responsibility of making the world a better place in which to live. They define themselves more by how their contributions reflect their self-image and less by what they give or buy. They are much more committed to “giving back” and much less “entitled, needy and self-absorbed” than some might believe. In the 2014 Millennial Impact Report produced by a consulting firm called Achieve, 87% of Millennials reportedly made financial contributions to nonprofits last year. In fact, Millennials are contributing differently than previous generations, and that's changing the game for giving, and for the charities that depend on it. Demographic change is a huge reason for rethinking this. With around 80 million Millennials coming of age, knowing how they spend their cash on causes is going to be critical for nonprofits. And their spending patterns aren't the same as their parents. (Achieve, 2014) Younger donors want to feel more invested in a cause than just being asked to “donate”. A different word with a different connotation - investment – will go farther. Its just semantics: donation vs. investment. But to a Millennial, who has grown up in a very different world, one that's more participatory because of the digital tools that they have, to them they want to feel like they're making an investment. Not just that they're investing their capital, but they're investing emotionally. They aren’t interested in creating philanthropic legacies - meaning, presumably, endowed philanthropic institutions - but are more interested in the impact their donations can make today rather than decades from now or after they’re dead. Examples such as crowd funding and the ice bucket challenge suggest that Millennials are interested in discussing “social movements.”

Millennials today are tomorrow’s volunteers, donors, medical staff, and brand ambassadors. It is critical that SJCRH begin now with raising awareness of its cause to this key audience and educating them on SJCRH stands for. In turn, the campaign should begin to foster a relationship and have today’s young professionals build an emotional bond through the stories and messaging SJCRH shares. In turn, this socially connected and conscious audience will be more apt to lend their support for the brand in the coming years. Additionally, this group is heavily influential. Whether it is peer pressure and each influencing each other, or using social media to start trends, share content and extend the reach of a brand’s messaging to other age groups, this group can be a major factor in whether online material goes viral, touching many different audiences. secondary audience: internal stakeholders For any organization communication is one of the most important, and often overlooked fundamentals. Relationships grow out of communication and the functioning of organizations is based on effective relationships among individuals, groups, and departments. Internal communication aids organizations in ultimately achieving goals. As a nonprofit, St. Jude has huge potential to leverage the internal stakeholders because of the shared purpose. The shared purpose and passion for the mission of a nonprofit is the reason behind why people become invested in a particular organization. In the launch and execution of any campaign it is essential to have the support from employees, volunteers, management, and local chapters to ensure correct messaging is being relayed and the excitement runs organization-deep. Every internal member of the team must be excited and participating to recruit new donors and lifelong partners. Internal communication tactics will help St. Jude’s marketing team motivate the rest of the staff, build trust in each other to achieve new donors, and spur engagement within the internal team but also between the team and Millennial audience. In the long run, the buy-in, participation, and excitement from the internal team will give St. Jude a community to celebrate accomplishments with as a team once success is achieved. Communicating to internal stakeholders is more intimate than communicating to the masses because there is already a dedication to the organization and, there is somewhat of a personal gain from the success. In-person communication tactics have proven to be more successful across internal communications, as well as on-going messaging and some type of implemented rewards or benefit systems. This is a benefit to St. Jude because the organization has easy access to staff members and communication can be done on-site.

brand perception survey In order to directly speak to the target audience a survey was conducted and distributed via Facebook. A total of 55 responses were collected within the Millennial age group. Females dominated the group at 75 percent. How do we convince Millennials their contributions matter? We are all consumers in some manner, and respond to a brand or organization that is authentic and transparent. Convincing Millennials that their contributions – financial or otherwise - to SJCRH, is one of the primary goals of this campaign. firefly communications endeavors to create a communication strategy that will resonate with this audience. Overall the survey was aimed at discovering the general feeling of Millennials towards charities, the way they choose to communicate about news, and their affinity and awareness for fundraising opportunities. Survey respondents were asked if they were currently participating with or donating to any nonprofit organization and an overwhelming number of responses (76%) were “Yes”. However, respondents had a particular charity they favored – such as animal rescue, a food bank, or tithes to their church. Forty-six percent make contributions on a regular basis. When asked how much of an impact they felt their donation made, 80% responded “a little to a moderate amount.” Only 8% believed their contribution made a significant impact. The most important factor they consider when making a donation is the knowledge that funds are actually applied to the cause and not administrative costs or salaries.

Friends and social media lead the way in how Millennials learn about opportunities to contribute to non-profit organizations.

Page 25: IMC 636 Capstone

This leads to an untapped market of new donors that are not worn down from donor fatigue for St. Jude to capitalize on and gain the trust and loyalty from these individuals as lifelong donors and brand ambassadors for the St. Jude mission and values. Millennials rely on social media to stay up to date on current events and what their friends are doing. Employing communication channels like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and social events will be a primary focus for the firefly proposal. This is a generation that will band together for a common cause, and firefly intends to take full advantage of the network that currently exists and expand it even further by encouraging Millennials to “share,” “like,” “tweet / retweet,” and spearhead fundraising efforts by collaborating with likeminded individuals.

brand perception and personality St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a dedicated healthcare provider that seeks to be the best, with admirable goals of preventing disease, advancing cures, providing care and enhancing the quality of life for children. The brand represents a degree of trust, as they serve the needs of children, and endeavor to provide each and every child superior medical care at no charge. The evolution of the personality for SJCRH has come over a period of some fifty years, the organization has had to shape and reshape itself to meet the demands of its publics. Throughout this process, they have demonstrated a caring compassionate nature, delivering care to whoever may require it and never turning anyone away. The organization accepts responsibility for not only the care of each patient, but also the care of each family member, as SJCRH believes that the families should be the primary support mechanism for each patient. The hospital also takes much pride in the ultimate goal of defeating childhood diseases and cancer, and there is an ever-present determined approach to continued research and treatment. SJCRH is positioned as the world leader in advancing the treatment and prevention of childhood catastrophic diseases among all children’s hospitals because treatments invented at SJCRH have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened in 1962. (Historic American Charities, n.d.) It freely shares the breakthroughs it makes with doctors and scientists worldwide and has the world’s best survival rates for the most aggressive childhood cancers. Creative executions run the gamut from print, direct marketing, event partnerships, PSAs and more. The majority of the brand collateral features the logo and a sick child; usually the child appears sickly and bald, which is most likely due to chemotherapy treatments. Pictures typically include the child, child and parent, child and caregiver, and child and celebrity. The primary audience appears to be the adult donor. But there is no tangible ‘proof’ that contributions are fully realized. Millennials have a very favorable impression of SJCRH as an organization. In fact, it is one of the top preferred employers among this demographic. However, Millennials perceive SJCRH as just another non-profit soliciting donations for their cause. They are not particularly engaged as donors, and this is what firefly plans to change. Brand personality is the collection of human characteristics that consumers ascribe to a particular brand as if it were human. Four transferable personality characteristics for SJCRH to which Millennials can relate are realistic, inspiring, social, and connected.

This generation witnessed the loss of homes, retirement and jobs of their parents. Millennials have been exposed to local, regional, national and global issues. They harbor no delusions of grandeur about its future. They are more socially conscious and realistic. Charities that want its business should aspire to be authentic about issues and transparent about its efforts. Millennials want to serve nonprofit organizations. It’s a call to be a risk-taker in a time when others think risk should be avoided because of economic or other uncertainties. It’s a call to lead a team while others seek to maintain operations at the status quo. It’s a call to change the work environment not because someone’s boss or board has told them to do so, but because their gut says that change is necessary and needs to happen now. The SJCRH story as well as its patients has always been inspiring across generational boundaries. This holds true for Millennials as well. This generation is inspired to help others lead better lives and help change the world. SJCRH should continue to elevate its inspirational stories across select mediums to reach this generation of young professionals. Social is the buzzword for this generation. Social media, socializing, socially conscious, social impact and socially responsible are all descriptors of this social generation. SJCRH should investigate ways to integrate social into the very fiber of its existence. This is how this generation communicates. Today’s young professionals are the most connected generation in history. They are hyper- connected and -sharing across countries and cultures via a variety of social networking channels. SJCRH will need to connect with this audience on a higher level to remain relevant far into the future. altering perceptions firefly communications would rather use images of contributions in action, rather than focusing solely on the condition of a child. We need to convince the Millennial audience that what they give – whether it be time, money, or both – makes an immediate difference that they can see. For this reason we would create messages that included the target audience in action… with children and employees from SJCRH as well as with friends and co-workers engaged in fundraising activities such as the Warrior Dash, dine out for a cause, fundraising galas, and other events that demonstrate the importance of the cause as well as the opportunity for the Millennial. We would embrace social media outlets to make social sharing easy with friends… along with donation opportunities and event invitations. The idea is to not emotionally manipulate the Millennial but, rather, encourage them to get involved because they know SJCRH is an organization that they can trust.

swot analysis It is important to pick out not only the strengths of an organization but also the weaknesses, opportunities and threats to develop plans to move forward and overcome any obstacles that could hold growth for SJCRH back in the young professional market. First and foremost the strengths that bring SJCRH above competitors stems from the organization’s mission and core values in innovation. Throughout its history, SJCRH has had the opportunity to influence multiple generations. Families have been able to grow in hope and trust because the treatment and research SJCRH has provided children in desperate medical situations. The trust is passed down from generation to generation – something younger nonprofit organizations aren’t able to offer. Families have grown in comfort knowing no child will ever be turned away from SJCRH for treatment or sent a bill for payment in return for treatment. SJCRH is able to offer ground breaking research and technology to patients in the hospital without ever leaving the facility with the only bench to bedside program that helps families settle knowing their child is getting the newest and most advanced treatment. When looking at competing charities it was noted many of these have offices, or chapters, in many locations across the United States while St. Jude only offers 31 regional offices. (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, n.d.) This can lead to limited resources to events and, can lead to hesitation from the target audience to donate to SJCRH because there is not as much of a local presence. This can also affect the new trend of being a brand hopper or, in this situation donating to a different organization year-over- year. SJCRH must keep close and inclusive contact with them to ensure donor retention. There are influencing factors SJCRH must work with or against to grow as an organization. Most importantly, the economy is still in a slow state of growth and cost-of-living is rising. Nonprofits like SJCRH still rely on donations to operate and must continue to grow donations with the cost-of-treatment variation. The unstable economy also brings changes in corporate leadership that can lead to different brand affinities by person. SJCRH must ensure partnerships are valued and taken seriously to remain a competitive support option. Building off of the already strong base of celebrity and brand support SJCRH has the opportunity to set the bar even higher at events and in online conversation. Young professionals strive to be socially responsible and to help their peers less fortunate or in need, SJCRH has the opportunity to use their influence, connectivity and desire to make an impact to build an affiliation for the organization. The trust built generation after generation can be instilled into this age group and audience now, to lead to future engagement and loyalty to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

strategy statement firefly communications looked at the rational and emotional related rational factors for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and determined four overarching mutual factors. These included being influenced and influential among peers, staying connected, being socially aware, and expanding ones personal and professional growth. These overarching mutual factors insights were explored further into how these factors motivated SJCRH volunteers.

"I get a wonderful sense of purpose knowing that my contribution to SJCRH will help provide hope for sick

kids by advancing St. Jude's expertise and successes---and I gain new skills that will further my career by becoming

part of a special community of givers."

For instance:

• Millennials engage with causes to help other people, not institutions and are influenced by the decisions and behaviors of their peers. Millennials are more likely participate in cause work when their peers are involved. (Hu, 2014)

• Not surprisingly, Millennials are heavy Internet and mobile app users. They started the social networking movement from their dorm rooms. Millennials are an open book, sharing all their thoughts, pictures and videos instantly with their online community and have strong social circles. (Barton, Egan & Fromm, 2012)

• When it comes to giving to and working with causes, Millennials differ from previous generations in how they view the assets they can potentially donate. Millennials may still give money, time and skills, but they also view their network and voice as two very beneficial assets they can offer a cause. (Hu, 2014)

• Many Millennials are hoping to get something valuable from their volunteer experience such as new skills or resume material. Opportunities to get training or experience they will find useful are attractive because it can benefit them in their professional development. (Nielsen, n.d.)

From these insights an exploration phase was conducted where firefly found each of these feelings, and insights really led a young professional to be empowered to do something more and to become something bigger than themselves for St. Jude’s children and their future. firefly feels the final strategy statement represents the feeling generated by volunteering with SJCRH as well as wrapping all of the touch points of SJCRH’s mission into children and their future. Once organizations begin to rethink what engagement or involvement means, they will be better able to connect. An organization can traditionally measure engagement by the number and amount of donations from an individual, the number of events attended, or the number of hours volunteered. However, this gives no indication of the people who have the interest but need an extra push to become actively involved. An organization has no way to measure how many friends an individual has told about the organization’s mission or how many posts they have liked or shared on Facebook. Because of this, it may be difficult for nonprofits to measure the level of engagement of certain groups while they may be able to gauge the involvement of the most traditionally involved.

creative brief Why are we advertising? To begin building relationships with young professionals so they are aware of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital brand and will enthusiastic about it through a lifetime of supporting it through time and financial contributions. Whom are we speaking to? Young professionals – aka Millennials – aged 21 to 30 across the United States who are socially connected and socially conscious. What do they currently think? They have a limited understanding of SJCRH and how it treats children but beyond that have no authentic reason to get involved, either financially or with their time. They also are skeptical about how much of their contributions actually benefit the cause. What would we like them to think? SJCRH is the best organization in the country for treatment and research of childhood cancer patients and their families. What is the single most persuasive idea we can convey? Millennials can make the largest impact on providing the means to continue care and research by banding together to raise awareness and money so that no child dies in the dawn of life. Why should they believe it? By following through with their yes to SJRCH, Millennials can play a significant role in the success of a child battling cancer while meeting new people, learning new skills, and participating in fun programs to raise money. Are there any creative guidelines? Messages for this campaign will rely heavily on social media, guerilla marketing, events, and opportunities to encourage and motivate friends to participate. The common theme throughout all media will be fun, exciting, energetic, and encourage social sharing of the experience.

communication strategy The Millennial Generation has become the target for nonprofit organizations across the country hoping to attract and retain new supporters. However, the same methods of attraction and engagement may not work on members of this generation, who have grown up in an age of socially networked community and new technologies. People are influenced by their friends and family, and they in turn also influence their friends and family—these factors are not within the control of the organization. A donor-engagement model should account for the peer-to-peer influence that most people experience and hold in high regard. Nonprofit organizations do not have to choose between only using traditional methods and only using social media. The most successful organizations integrate both online and offline channels and allow for two-way communication. Engagement at any level is beneficial to a nonprofit organization. It is important not to discount someone who only volunteers or only supports through social media at this point in time. If an organization values only those who make large donations, they are undervaluing their constituents, while sending the message that donation is the deepest level of involvement possible. An individual engaging at multiple levels is actually better for an organization, as this person is likely to have a higher investment in the cause. Many Millennials believe that they can contribute in more ways than just giving a donation.

statement of idea To engage Millennials, they need to be inspired. And not about SJCRH the hospital or research facility, but by the work done and people impacted. Millennials are looking for authentic ways to make a difference. That means they want transparency, they want immediacy. The more direct the interaction, the more powerful the experience. Millennials want to be able to see the change personally. Throughout the “Be Yes” campaign and its channels, firefly will provide relevant statistics and results. Showing people how their donations are making an impact and what they are helping to achieve is essential for engaging Millennials. They want to see their time as a useful asset. If there are opportunities for to grow, connect, and even develop as people and professionals, SJCRH will be offering something that really appeals to them. These are the stories that make them want to take action. This is the story firefly aspires to tell.

The core message for this campaign is:

Don’t Say Yes. Be Yes. “Don’t Say Yes. Be Yes.” will rely on stories of current and previous patients treated by SJCRH. They will serve as the faces of the campaign to share how SJCRH is impacting the future of their lives by providing topnotch care at no cost and the ongoing research to find a cure for pediatric cancer. Millennials will be depicted working and playing as groups to raise money and awareness for SJCRH and interacting with patients who are directly impacted by their efforts. This is the validation that Millennials seek for their contribution. Specific cities have been identified as initial tests for events and communication touch points that can be replicated nationally. In each city, SJCRH has existing Friends of St. Jude to assist with the execution, management, and follow through necessary to successfully implement the proposed campaign. Of particular importance will be the partnership with alumni from fraternity and sorority organizations such as Tau Kappa Epsilon, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority. The feedback provided from these markets will ensure the campaign can and will be favorably received in additional markets in the future.

• Large Market: New York City and San Francisco • Medium Market: Atlanta, Portland, and Washington DC • Smaller Market: Austin and Charlotte

communication plan Marketing Objective: Raise $3 million in monetary donations among Young Professionals (21 – 30 year olds, aka Millennials) over a 12-month period beginning August 1, 2015 with the potential to grow to $30mm over three years. To achieve this marketing objective, firefly communications proposes the following media plan. In media planning, reach, frequency and continuity are mixed to create the optimal environment for desired results. This plan carries the integrated strategy through a core idea into each of the touch points, and throughout all of the communications to Millennial professionals, as well as the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital current employee, volunteer, management and donor base. The “Be Yes” campaign sets out to accomplish three Communications Objectives that work together to achieve the Marketing Objective of $3mm in monetary donations. The three Communications Objectives are:

• Reach 80% of Millennial professionals living in urban centers at least 5 times per month over the 12-month campaign in an interactive and participative way; to encourage involvement, engagement and sharing with their family, friends and communities.

• Increase SJCRH brand awareness by 15% in first 6 months, and 25% by the end of 12 months, as

the number one children’s cancer hospital in the United States. Raise 40% of goal ($1.2mm).

• Achieve 50% top-of-mind donation preference for ALSAC among Young Urban Professionals in 6 months with at least 25% of target donating more than once within 12-month period. Raise 40% of goal ($1.2mm).

All Creative Executions are provided in larger format in the Appendix.

Page 48: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 47

Communication Objective 1 $3,565,000 Reach 80% of Millennial professionals living in urban centers at least 5 times per month over the 12-month campaign in an interactive and participative way to encourage involvement, engagement and sharing with their family, friends and communities. Targeted Cohorts: Young Urban Professionals, Current Millennial Donors Rationale: “For the effectiveness of a media plan, and the media choices within that plan, to be evaluated, a common method of measurement must be used. One of those forms of measurement is reach and frequency” (Importance of Reach, 2005). Reach is the first step in effecting change and action among this target. The tactics skew heavily digital, as this is the battleground for Millennials’ attention. Current Millennial Donors play a key role in recruiting prospects, and also represent the 1% of highly engaged brand advocates. Since Millennials rely heavily on the influence of others online, that 1% will be used heavily to drive and disperse the message amongst their varied yet qualified communities. Tactics: Facebook campaign: Post 2-3 times daily about “Be Yes” events, news, offerings and contests going on throughout the country. Sponsor 20 ads per month geographically based on other tactics.

Twitter campaign: Post 2-3 times daily about “Be Yes” events, news, offerings, and contests going on throughout the country. Sponsor 20 ads per month geographically based on other tactics.

Instagram campaign: Employees, volunteers and internal marketing will provide 1-2 mages/videos per day about the impact of the “Be Yes” campaign.

#BeYes hash tag campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram: The public will use the hash tag to submit feedback, questions, images, and videos about how SJCRH is making their life better, changing their community and helping those in need. Ask several celebrities who have supported SJCRH in the past to help get the hash tag trending, including: Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Vergara, Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkston, Carrie Underwood, Jason Bateman, and others from Look to the Stars. (Look to the Stars) Feature Look to the Stars members on the SayYes.com microsite. Leverage the retweets and shares to build momentum – the hash tag will be featured prominently in many other digital assets. To minimize endorsement costs, celebrity sharing will be the extent of their involvement.

Page 49: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 48

Creative Execution: Social Media (Facebook) cover photo.

Facebook page would feature stories about volunteers and patients, upcoming events, photos from past events and include links to Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. Feeds would be included from these channels as well as from FourSquare. “Donate Now” button would push through to SJCRH donation portal. Creative Execution: #BeYes hash tag campaign.

FourSquare Be Yes Check-in Challenge: Millennials are finding ways to do good in their everyday lives by taking advantage of brands that align with their values. When Millennials feel that their purchase supports a cause, they are going to share with others encouraging more to join in. The FourSquare Challenge would encourage check-ins at retailers and other companies that support SJCRH is a great way to leverage both of those behaviors to draw awareness for SJCRH. Users who check-in will be entered to win one of (5) $2,500 Visa Gift Cards. In addition to posting a complete list of participating spots on the microsite, and getting the SJCRH button to be visible at all participating locations within the FourSquare app, table tents will be used at the locations to promote participation.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 49

Creative Execution: Check-in Challenge table tent, display sticker

Pinterest Campaign: Pinterest is where women are, and women give more to charity. As a general trend, women make up more of the population on most social net working sites – but they make up 82% of active users on Pinterest. And, according to numerous studies, women at virtually every income level are more likely to give to charity (in some cases, nearly twice as much). And, when women give, they are more likely to give more and to be more loyal donors. Post 1-2 inspirational photos or quotes per week about a child being treated and volunteers having fun. In each image and caption, have a bit about how SJCRH these things possible and how to get involved. Link to “Be Yes” microsite. Since Pinterest’s Rules of Etiquette don’t support blatant self-promotion, this is a good way to touch Millennials without hard selling, which is their preferred method of learning about a brand (Schultz, 2011).

Page 51: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 50

Digital and Mobile Ads: Millennials are connected constantly. So digital and mobile ads will be created for their apps and websites of choice, like ESPN.com, Pandora Radio and on other various lifestyle and shopping websites (see Integrated Communications Flow Chart for complete list of publications, websites and mobile apps), which represent popular digital outlets among 21-30 year olds according to a Flurry Analytics study released just this month (Perez, 2013).

• Banner ads – typical static banner ads to appear on websites and mobile sites • Home screen blowout– above the fold experience, where SJCRH will have large pop-out

advertisement on sites like People.com, ESPN.com and HuffingtonPost.com • Companion ad – where the video spots can be embedded, a companion banner ad will appear to

the right or left. When video is finished playing, the companion ad will remain. Creative Execution: Digital Ads (home screen blowout and mobile banner)

Focus Group Finding: All participants saw value in using celebrities to raise awareness and participation for the “Be Yes” Contest.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 51

Communication Objective 2: $4,138,000 Increase SJCRH brand awareness by 15% in first 6 months, and 25% by the end of 12 months, as the number one children’s cancer hospital in the United States. Raise 40% of goal ($1.2mm). Targeted Cohorts: SJCRH Volunteers, SJCRH Employees, Young Urban Professionals Rationale: Almost all cohorts are targeted for this objective because awareness is a top down effort. Empowering from within is key to building a positive brand image on an individual basis. Employees can collectively play a major role in spreading the word about SJCRH. The mix of internal, out-of-home and guerilla tactics connect SJCRH to everyday life, and is as critical a touch point for current employees/volunteers, as it is for Millennials. Current Millennial donors will be key to recruiting some new prospects through the “Be Yes” events and through social media. From employee training and buy-in to word-of-mouth influence, achieving this objective will be through combined efforts throughout the entire organization and beyond. Tactics: Events: Sponsor events throughout the year in seven markets: Atlanta GA, Austin TX, Charlotte NC, New York NY, Portland OR, San Francisco CA, and Washington DC. Tickets are $35 and all proceeds benefit local Friends of St. Jude events and funnel donations to SJCRH. While these events won’t promote alcohol consumption in any of the marketing pieces, offering it at the events is a great way to increase proceeds in a responsible way. Local events like these connect to this cohort in many ways, allowing them to link SJCRH to being in touch with their social life, which current SJCRH marketing tactics do not achieve. In addition, it allows them to influence the SJCRH as much as SJCRH will influence them. It’s an easy way to do good, and one that still gives them value for their donation. It convinces them that attending will make a difference in their local community, which will speak to them and their attitudes toward donating/purchasing. It also provides a great setting to recruit new activists for and allows current Millennial donors to create an environment that reaches this cohort in a positive, experience-driven way. The Series will be promoted via posters at local hangouts, through social media, and press releases. Firefly also recommends additional promotional support and sponsorship funds be applied to Warrior Dash, FedEx St. Jude Classic, Dream Home Giveaway, and Friends of St. Jude events to support attendance and provide additional awareness for the “Be Yes” campaign. In the case of Friends of St. Jude events, additional funding can be applied to escalate the value of auction items to motivate more participation from attendees.

Creative Execution: Food Truck Festival promotional piece

Focus Group Finding: This event series had the participants really excited, and it’s the piece that generated the most conversation. Everything after they saw

this related back to an event opportunity, a way to expand the program and even a list of great cities in the summer. All in all, this added the touch of

personal and local they were looking for in a charitable organization.

Page 54: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 53

“Be Yes” microsite: The microsite will act as the hub of the campaign’s communications. From the online survey, we know that the donation medium of choice is a website (Appendix A). The Focus Group confirmed this (see Focus Group Findings). So, the responsive microsite will act as the desktop, mobile and tablet optimized site, and will be the means of collecting donations, in addition to providing a schedule of events, stories, and other relevant information. Millennials are active online on multiple devices. A responsive design means there is no need to build multiple versions of the website or an app. We can achieve the same results with one simple application, making it the single most cost-effective and lasting asset of the campaign. Creative Execution: Home page mock up

Page 55: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 54

“Be Yes” Public Transportation Takeovers: Seven markets: Atlanta GA, Austin TX, Charlotte NC, New York NY, Portland OR, San Francisco CA, and Washington DC have been identified as having active Millennial groups. Taking over public transportation in these markets will demonstrate how SJCRH is making advances in research to treat pediatric cancer by sharing success stories (Chance and Hope) and showing Millennials being involved. Offer email sign-ups, mobile text message alerts (dedicated “Say Yes” microsite landing page to donate). Use all social media outlets to encourage discussion, post pictures, and gain exposure for SJCRH. Blending the offline guerilla marketing tactics with social media makes it seamless. An ambient campaign can get a good bump from a digital push. Creative Execution: Bus station skins

Focus Group Finding: The Public Transportation Takeovers are an interactive and viral way of getting out that those resources already exist.

Page 56: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 55

Email campaign and promotional items to current employees and volunteers: To get the word out of the office and onto the streets about the campaign, employees and volunteers will be rewarded for engaging in the programs and chosen at random to receive promotional products, like t-shirts, water bottles, bags, etc. Empower them by giving them some branded promotional items that they can give out to people in their various communities. Promotional products have had a long and successful history of increasing awareness and building up the trust of a brand. (Whitaker, 2013) Because they are so varied in nature, even the smallest of business can take advantage of this marketing resource, as can medium and larger enterprises. Again, this tactic is specifically helping to achieve this communication objective. Overall internal objectives will be discussed in the Internal Communications Plan. Creative Execution: T-shirt example (all promo items can be used at events, too)

Page 57: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 56

Communication Objective 3: $1,000,000 Achieve 50% top-of-mind donation preference for ALSAC among Young Urban Professionals in 6 months with at least 25% of target donating more than once within 12-month period. Raise 40% of goal ($1.2mm). Targeted Cohorts: Young Urban Professionals Rationale: The target is being reached and engaged. Now, the donation preference needs to be established. Brand equity plays a major role in determining preference. According to the American Economic Review, “brand capital evolves endogenously as a function of consumers’ life histories and decays slowly once formed. Brand capital can explain large and long-lasting advantages to first movers. Brand preferences play an especially important role in categories with high levels of advertising and social visibility” (Bronnenberg, Hube & Gentzkow, 2012). SJCRH will be a first mover in terms of aggressively courting Millennials – outside of employer-sponsored payroll deduction programs. For this reason, the brand equity needed to establish preference and repeat donation will be established by the end of the campaign, with the intention to breed a new generation of loyal donors. Tactics: “Be Yes” Video Campaign: Contest that has Millennials "be yes” and tell us what they want - out of life, work family, the world. How they would get involved and contribute to fundraising for SJCRH. Using the microsite, text campaign and social media, contestants ask for family, friends and others to sponsor their project by giving a donation to SJCRH. At the end of the submission period, the top grossing five videos will be put in a national campaign, where pledging donation “votes” begins again. The overall winner is announced and their project is sponsored by SJCRH. This tactic serves as an inspirational and deeply personal way of engaging the audience. Many non-profit organizations have faced issues in the past with appearing to fund their organization first and their causes second. This takes the message to the street that when SJCRHs says they unleash the power of their donors, it’s true. To the core. All cohorts watch video online, and this is a unique offering that will be the first of its kind in the nonprofit world. A truly distinct tactic, many of the smaller tactics employ this contest as the rallying cry to help SJCRH raise funds to continue research to find a cure for pediatric cancer and continue to provide care for patients and their families, exploiting the audience’s desire to help on many levels. It also establishes easy donation methods and drives traffic to the places (i.e. the microsite) that will serve the organization long-term for collecting repeat donations.

Creative Execution: Launch Ad

Focus Group Finding: While this initially posed some questions, the participants liked the idea of a user-generated contest. They think the messaging will play a big role in the success of the contest. While they wondered “how could my contribution make that much of a difference to St. Jude,” they left feeling like SJCRH would garner very positive results from putting the power of the donation in the peoples’ hands.

focus group On November 22, 2014, six Millennials (three male, three female) aged 22-29 gathered at firefly communications roundup room and participated in a 90-minute focus group centered on their opinions, attitudes and perceptions of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, in addition to their feedback regarding some of the creative executions for the “Be Yes” campaign.

Focus Group Participants Canton, GA November 22, 2014 Kaitlyn R. Female, 25 years old, Marketing Assistant Chandler W. Male, 25 years old, Fishing Manager Beth A. Female, 22 years old, Administrative Assistant Lacey R. Female, 29 years old, Stay at Home Mom Cory J. Male, 29 years old, Insurance Agent Randy W. Male, 26 years old, Residential Contractor

The first part of the focus group centered around their attitudes toward the SJCRH. The key findings are below:

All had a favorable opinion of SJCRH Ka it lyn: “I think its great that the families don’t have to pay for treatment.” Co ry : “I didn’t realize they needed so much money to run the hospital, that definitely is something to consider.” La cey: “I can’t imagine how stressful it has to be for a family to go through something like cancer in their kid. Thank God for St. Jude.”

What happens to donations is something they want to know about

Cha nd ler: “I give money to TU (Trout Unlimited) but hear stories about how little of it gets to the real issue. It irritates me.” Beth: “I am skeptical about making financial donations to anything. I’ll donate clothes to Must Ministries because it’s easy. And I volunteer for Habitat for Humanity because I can be part of the bigger picture and see it happen.” Randy: “I really don’t know how I can

help, other than to give money.” This resonated with everyone. None of them knew about Atlanta area SJCRH opportunities to contribute, they all thought they had to send money to somewhere. When asked if they would participate in fundraising events – whether as a volunteer or attendee – the response was a unanimous “definitely.”

Next, eight creative executions were presented and the group reflected on each, what it meant, how it could help them get involved and what (if anything) they would change. See Appendix B for the complete Moderator’s Guide. Some of the key findings that were used for the revised creative executions are:

• “I love the idea of a Food Truck Festival Series. That’s something that I would do with my friends, looks like fun, especially if you get some local bands and Sweetwater Brewery.” – Kaitlyn

• “I didn’t realize that the Warrior Dash helped St. Jude out. I’ve always wanted to do that… and I know some of my buddies will, too, just because its awesome.” – Randy

• “Is there anyway me and my fishing buddies could do something that involved fishing to raise money?” - Chandler

• “I don’t totally get the ‘rose-colored dream’ thing. It needs to be featured more heavily on the site as a contest. I want to know what it’s all about.” - Cory

• “I want as many ways to vote [for the Rose Colored Glasses campaign] as possible. I like the texting. I feel like I would do that if I saw one of the videos or heard one of my friend’s entered.” – Beth

• “Agree with Beth. It gets charged to my phone bill, so I don’t have to worry about having the money on me right that minute. “ – Lacey

• “It would be cool if St. Jude used the microsite to give me updates about how and where our donations are being used, like stories? Maybe they could do event notifications, too?” – Kaitlyn

• “I want to talk to a real person. That’s why I like these Food Truck Series idea.” – Cory • “You should definitely use a sports guy for this [ESPN ad].” - Randy

Some general creative and marketing tips gathered from the session, include:

• Events give SJCRH a new, active, positive face. This makes it seem like SJCRH wants to be involved in the community, as opposed to using images of sick children to emotionally manipulate the audience. This just turned the participants off of the idea of contributing.

• Food Truck Series could be expanded to other events. And the Warrior Dash could be complimented with different challenges and tournaments (like Color Run, Tough Mudder, etc.).

• Sweepstakes are great ways to get Millennials to give up info, but it has to be easy to enter. • They wanted to connect locally to people, and they wanted their experience with all the pieces to

reflect that local focus. It was also important that they have the opportunity to network and learn new skills.

For the last part of the focus group, firefly asked participants to anonymously write a newspaper headline about what they just saw (the ads, microsite, etc.). A few of the headlines:

• “Hungry for You: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Takes a Fresh Approach toward Promoting a Positive View through its Food Truck Series Events”

• “St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital youth movement has gone viral!” • “St. Jude local events coming to your community!” • “St. Jude is targeting a younger crowd, and needs my help to spread the word.”

Overall, participants first become involved with supporting causes in five ways: donating money, talking to others about the cause, learning more about the cause and its impact, donating clothing or other items, and signing a petition. These results demonstrate that people enter at various levels of engagement, which is not supported by a traditional model. They also shared that they are not necessarily progressing up to the next level of engagement but instead tend to remain at the level of the first engagement. We found that Millennials get most of their information from their top charity through their website, through social media, or through emails and e-newsletters. This finding supports our theory about the influence of the Internet and social media on donor engagement. Bhagat et al found that the first engagement with the organization is not always at the bottom of the traditional donor-engagement model, as was expected. For most Millennials, the first engagement they have with their top charity is a direct donation (Bhagat et al., 2010). This action is more likely to be the first engagement for all older generations, but there is still a large percent of Millennials engaging in this way. Visiting a website and attending an event were more prevalent among Millennials and Gen Xers, 27 percent of Millennials visiting the website and 19 percent attending an event (Bhagat et al., 2010). When asked about how the individual believes they could make the most difference in their top charity, giving money was a smaller factor for the focus group, all of whom preferred spreading the word, fundraising, or volunteering for the charity. Engagement at any level is beneficial to a nonprofit organization.

internal communication plan Leveraging internal momentum and gaining employee and volunteer buy-in maximizes the campaign’s efforts and stretches the impact of each marketing dollar allocated toward it. SJCRH already utilizes email as an important part of its internal communication strategy. firefly will expand upon that strategy, since employees and volunteers are used to being communicated with in that way. There are many benefits to using email as a primary communication tool (Cox, 2008), including:

• Maintain consistent branding and ensure all communications are "on message." • Target specific groups with specific messages • Simplify the process – everything is done from one location. • Cut costs of communication, such as printing, phone calls and faxes. • Set up coordinated timed rollouts of the communication, which is particularly important with

time-sensitive material. • Easily empower regional offices at a local level. For example, SJCRH has an extensive group of

supporters and facilities all over the country; email will provide communications from headquarters and can also include space for regional/local messaging.

• Evaluate the impact of the communications at a central or local level. Building brand awareness to effect action is the greatest opportunity this internal communications plan can achieve. SJCRH has an amazingly rich history that has contributed to an internal culture. Every external touch point should be a reflection of and, in this case, an evolution of that long-established culture. By helping to make SCJRH’s unique story their own, current employees and volunteers are more likely to buy-in to and act as advocates for external marketing programs (6 Tips for Building Brand Culture, 2011). In addition to the tactics described in the Media Plan, these additional objectives will be included in the “Be Yes” campaign: PR Objective: $210,000 Increase SJCRH donations by 100% in the cities and towns where active affiliates exist. Raise remaining $600k of goal. Targeted Cohorts: Board of Directors, SJCRH Employees, Friends of St. Jude, and SJCRH volunteers

Page 66: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 65

Rationale: Inspiring people to donate takes top-down effort. Internal managers most often receive the main communication, so they are the first point of contact when a new national campaign is launched. The idea is to set up the extensions of SJCRH, both within the organization and externally as they begin to implement some of the larger campaign’s local tactics – like bus station takeovers, events, etc. It will also require individual employee and volunteer buy-in, so tactics are implemented to put donation into action at this level, where brand ambassadors can be leveraged to build momentum for the national campaign. Tactics: “Be Yes” Email Templates: Create and send HTML and text-only (mobile- optimized) email templates for use by the internal SJCRH management and local contacts. These templates will be used both in internal communication, as well as when communicating with their local volunteer base. This is an expected process for internal communications, so this will be adopted easily by all regional and Friends of St. Jude offices (Organization Hierarchy, Management Structure, Communication Methods, 2012). “Be Yes” Intranet Takeover: For the duration of the national campaign, a takeover of the Intranet homepage will be implemented. This will serve as the hub of the internal communications, and employees can go there whenever they need to know something, download resources for their chapter, and check the donation meter to see how close the organization is getting to its $30mm goal. Utilizing tools such as intranets can provide a central place for all employees to find out the latest on current promotions and instruct employees to visit the company intranet daily or weekly to learn about the latest. (6 Tips for Building a Brand Culture, 2011). All email communication will link to the intranet, and it will also monitor the progress of the external campaign. Storyteller Program: An internal contest will be sponsored by SJCRH. Each of the affiliate locations will be sent a small handheld recorder, and will be expected to submit a video that features employees and volunteers offering their hopes and dreams for “Say Yes.” They can offer ideas for SJCRH to implement, and headquarters will select 5 winning ideas. All videos will be posted to the Intranet site. Each winning idea will get a professional video produced that can be used for promotional purposes, and will be posted to the main SJCRH YouTube channel and promoted on the main and affiliate-level Facebook and Twitter accounts. Also, press releases will be produced throughout the internal contest. The mini-version of the larger campaign serves to build pride in each affiliate location, which is an organic and effective way of building awareness (Employee Communications Campaign, 2008).

Page 67: IMC 636 Capstone

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital IMC Campaign Proposal © firefly communications CONFIDENTIAL 66

“Be Your Own Yes”: As a way to build buzz for the national campaign, each employee and volunteer will recruit a team of Millennials, family members, friends and supporters. Their recruits will sponsor the employee. All donations go to the SJCRH, and the employee from each affiliate that raises the most money will get a $500 Visa Gift Card. The overall winner will get a $1,000 Visa Gift Card. By implementing a robust corporate philanthropy and employee volunteering program that incorporates donation processing, SJCRH will be creating and managing competitive fundraising campaigns, even across different office locations. This makes it easy for every employee to track their progress and efforts. (Scott, 2012) This gets employees involved in the process of donation, and it gives prospects someone to tie the donation process to, which will strengthen the idea that each donation, large and small, effects change in the community. The overall message is that everyone knows someone is directly involved with the cause of finding a cure for pediatric cancer.

• Mailers to employees and volunteers • Email campaign • Web portal for donations with social media integration

Creative Execution: Email campaign template

These tactics serve to strengthen, build upon and expand the “Be Yes” media plan. Employees, volunteers and affiliates are responsible for carrying the message from the inside out, and these will accomplish this objective while building a solid donation base as the national program proceeds.

conclusion “Be Yes” is the campaign you’ve been waiting for – the way to give this generation the cause of their life and get the loyalty of their lifetimes. This campaign sets St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital apart from every single other charitable organization by offering the most unique, personal, compelling and inclusive ways to make lasting change happen. In the process, SJCRH will also be changed from the inside out. $3 million in donations is just this year’s goal, and this plan will achieve that. But, beyond that $3 million are countless new opportunities, countless more people to rise up and countless ways to, from the top down, from the east to the west, from the north to the south, remind everyone that "No child should die in the dawn of life." firefly communications has carefully developed this campaign using the principles of integrated marketing communications by piecing together a wide range of marketing touch points. We want to craft St. Jude’s story into a relevant and compelling message that does much more than communicate a marketing idea. Ultimately, St. Jude can expect this campaign to weave its brand into the cultural and social fabric of the next greatest generation of young professionals and their everyday lives. Not only will this multi-platform approach help obtain dozens of entry points over the course of the year-long campaign, but the interactive nature of each allows two-way communication between the audience and the children of St. Jude. These real, uplifting, contemporary and friendly conversations twill foster strong relationships with this important audience and lead to long-lasting support. This is the future of our organization: our future doctors and nurses, our future donors, our future volunteers, and our future decision-makers in terms of patient care. Through the theme of not just saying yes but following through with it, we will establish these relationships, strengthen them over time, and welcome these young professionals into the St. Jude family. This complete proposal has showcased a research and data-driven strategy to engage teens with an excitement driven and action oriented sharable message. SJCRH has the opportunity to be the most favorable charity and develop long-term prosperous relationships with the largest, most influential generation in today’s world. firefly is prepared to join St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s team and make a lasting and beneficial impact to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment; denying no child based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay.

firefly is ready to put this plan into flight. let us show you what happens when we do.

For Immediate Release August 1, 2014

F i r e f l y C o m m u n i c a t i o n s O p e n s in H i s t o r i c D o w n t o w n C a n t o n Reinhardt A lum Hopes t o B r in g New Ideas to t he Growing Canton Business Community

Canton, GA (August 1, 2014) – Firefly Communications, a marketing communications agency specializing in campaigns for non-profit and small business organizations, has established its office in the historic district of Canton, Georgia.

A business’s breath, its very life, lives online now more than ever. Customers, clients, patrons or donors rely on the Internet for information about everything. In just a few short years, more people will access businesses online than anywhere else. The sheer amount of tools, sites, platforms and networks available to business’ today can be overwhelming. Firefly can help by creating custom integrated marketing programs that weave business goals into the fabric of a company’s presence

Stephanie Marchant, a graduate of Reinhardt University and Canton resident, is an experienced marketing professional who has spent the last 15 years working with independent business owners to create, execute, and manage campaigns, created Firefly Communications to focus on projects specifically for non-profit organizations, as well as tourism and small business owners. She specializes in the digital and emerging media mediums but is not a stranger to traditional advertising. In her past she has spent time marketing and advertising consumer goods, higher education, tourism, and healthcare.

“We felt there was a niche for a more individualized approach to marketing when it comes to the needs of those organizations that might be limited with finances, awareness, and clientele, “ said founder and principle, Stephanie Marchant. “Our approach to every project is completely unique to each client and their desired outcome.”

Marchant is involved with numerous philanthropic organizations, including Trout Unlimited, Casting for Recovery, and Project Healing Waters. She holds a bachelors degree in communications from Reinhardt University and is completing her masters in integrated marketing communications from West Virginia University. Firefly Communications is an integrated marketing communications agency providing assistance with strategic planning and execution for branding campaigns, traditional and social media messaging, community outreach and fundraising events.

survey 1. Gender: 75% female / 25% male 2. Age: 74% fell between the ages of 21 and 30 3. How many times have you donated money to a charity or non-profit organization in the last 12

months? 76% make donations at least one a year, 46% make donations throughout the year. The sentiment is there, it just needs to be harnessed.

4. To what charity of non-profit organization to you most often donate? Many have particular causes they favor such as animal rescue, local food banks, or tithes to their church. People want to help, and are soft hearted when it comes to those in need.

5. How much of an impact do you feel your donation makes? A majority or respondents feel their donation makes only a moderate impact to the overall cause. The overwhelming sentiment is that funds are applied to administrative costs or salaries and not truly to the intended recipient. The messages will need to be transparent about where the funds raised for SJCRH are used.

6. How likely are you to make another donations to the charity or non-profit organization to which you most often donate? 66% of respondents intend to make donations again. This is an encouraging sign.

7. What is the most important factor that you consider when choosing a charity or non-profit organization to which you donate? Responses include: “the money does good by helping the cause directly,” “trust in the organization,” and “the opportunity to offer more than money, for instance, my time.” Again, being authentic about how funds raised are used is important here, as is offering the opportunity to do more than just give money.

8. How do you learn about the charities or non-profit organizations to which you’re thinking about donating? 65% learn about opportunities through social media, 77% from friends, 56% through fundraising events. Social sharing is clearly the foundation for spreading the word about SJCRH and its program needs.

9. What types of activities would you participate in to raise money for a charity? 24% would participate in programs where their employer matched contributions. 30% would participate in social sharing programs (such as through Facebook, Twitter), 35% would attend or participate in an event. Convenience and fun resonate here.

Question 10 was a general comment box where remarks about ease of donation, volunteering time being seen as just as important, and knowing where the funds are being used were reinforced.
