campaign for a cause
Each May, National Foster Care Month focuses attention on the year-round needs of American children in foster care. The campaign raises awareness about the issue and encourages more people to get involved in the lives of these youth -- as their foster parents, mentors, employers, or in other meaningful ways. Seattle-based Casey Family Programs retained Right Tree to enhance and manage a full-scale, national campaign in collaboration with 17 leading child welfare organizations.
CAMPAIGN highlights
In collaboration with our affiliated graphic artists, Right Tree redesigned the National Foster Care Month brand by creating a new logo, design palette, and tagline. We refined core messaging to improve comprehension and create a stronger consumer connection to the foster care issue. Our messaging strategy also helped media and other audiences understand complex research findings, policy proposals, and emerging trends in child welfare.
We worked with Casey's internal IT team to build a user-friendly website that showcased the new brand. We integrated URL promotion into all campaign elements including: posters, pro-bono advertisements, special events, partner activities, and media outreach. This drove people to the website in record numbers. Our creative concept promoted the positive possibilities for children in foster care when caring people come forward to make a difference in their lives. This strategic execution shifted focus away from the negative images and stereotypes often perpetuated in the media.
In select urban markets, we also targeted faith-based groups to participate in the campaign. Clergy leaders served as campaign spokespeople for a Gospel Radio Tour and recorded public service announcements, which accounted for 16.4 million secured impressions.
