overview: request for proposal (rfp) and selection
2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service OVERVIEW: Each year Ad 2 Orlando provides a full service advertising campaign to one, local nonprofit organization, in hopes of helping that organization achieve goals and surpass limits it has been unable to produce due to reasons such as lack of funds, support, etc. In this effort, Ad 2 Orlando creates a tight group of young professionals from each area of the industry to form a mini-agency that provides services from all areas relating to our field including: advertising, graphic design, public relations, print production and social media. Within that agency setting, our committee thrives as we assign leaders to each specified area and form sub-committees. This eventually forms a very organic tree-like structure (Exhibit 1) and helps deliver the final all-encompassing result to the chosen client. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) AND SELECTION PROCESS: When the 2010/2011 year started in July, we quickly began to organize our team and map out a timeline for what we wanted to have happen and by when. The first step to that process was to send out an RFP (Exhibit 2) to spread the word of this opportunity throughout the Central Florida community. Enter our public relations specialists. Our public relations experts were able to distribute the message through many avenues in hopes of reaching local media, which would help advertise the beneficial opportunity. We were successful in that we were able to enlist the help of our local radio station as well as local blogs and social media outlets such as Facebook and LinkedIn. (Exhibit 3) We were able to reach a broad audience and in turn 43 applications were received. From those applications we narrowed it down to 3 finalists based on factors such as which non- 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service profit was most in need and which would be most cooperative with our far-reaching goals. RESEARCH/SITUATION ANALYSIS: After much discussion with our committee to evaluate the three candidates along with three separate site visits conducted by Wayne and I to each non-profit (Exhibit 4, 5, 6), we ultimately selected Pet Rescue by Judy. We felt this was the right choice due to their outright need for the campaign efforts. Pet Rescue by Judy specializes in rescuing and rehabilitating lost, abandoned, neglected and or abused animals. It is one of the very few “no-kill” shelters in our area for both dogs and cats. These animals are typically abused, abandoned or simply can no longer be cared for by their owners. Judy puts her heart and soul in to making sure these animals find a proper home and can live a normal life. Judy opened the shelter back in 1992 as a small, part time venture in helping animals find “forever homes”. As the years went on, her name came to be a lot more well-known in the local area. She left her position as Director of Hotels for properties such Holiday Inn and Crown Plaza to commit her time entirely to helping animals and to open a no-kill animal shelter. Pet Rescue By Judy has managed to continue to grown and now needs to expand. It has two buildings that are in the process of being constructed. One is planned to be a low cost spay/neuter clinic to help the community control the pet population. Through our research we discovered that over-population is an issue that affects many animals, owners and shelters alike. The most recent information comes from the American Humane Society. Unfortunately these numbers are from 1997, and only 1,000 shelters replied to the survey at that time. 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service In 1997, roughly 64 percent of the total number of animals that entered shelters were euthanized -- approximately 2.7 million animals in just these 1,000 shelters. 56 percent of dogs and 71 percent of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. 25 percent of dogs and 24 percent of cats that enter animal shelters are adopted. It is estimated that approximately 3.7 million animals were euthanized in the nation’s shelters in 2008. This number represents a generally accepted statistic that is widely used by many animal welfare organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). (Exhibit 7) With Judy opening the low cost spay and neuter clinic it will be a great solution to try and keep over-breeding numbers down. For some families the cost to spay or neuter their pet(s) is expensive and cost prohibitive. The support of spay/neuter operations through low-cost spay/neuter clinics such as the one Judy plans to open has proven to be an effective way to counter pet overpopulation. The reduction in cost serves to motivate both those who cannot and those who will not pay the "market" price for the operations (Exhibit 8). The other building will serve as their permanent shelter which will be bigger and designed to operate in a significantly more efficient manner. Even though their existing location has served as their home for many years now, it is no longer fit to house the large and increasing number of animals and staff needed. It is a critical time to raise awareness of Pet Rescue by Judy to help Judy, her employees and all the animals that come through the shelter with this much better environment. 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service A. The market: The cost to feed and care for each animal at the shelter is approximately $5,500 per year. Keep in mind that number does not include medical treatment in the event an animal happens to need some kind of specific treatment. That number also does not include Judy’s rent and utilities which amount to $5,000 a month equaling $60,000 per year in their existing facility. It would seem as though Judy’s life work is almost an impossible task. The current need of this non-profit is why we made the decision that it would be our selection and benefit from new and inventive ways of getting the awareness levels up and making it relevant to the general public. Statistics show that we have a good potential source for funds: 46% of 18 to 24 year olds and 50% of 25 to 34 year olds plan to donate online, with 13% of 18 to 24 year olds planning to donate more this upcoming year than last. 53% of 55 to 64 year olds plan to donate online showing that it is no longer just for the younger age groups. 83% of people who say their financial situation has remained the same in the past 12 months plan to give the same amount or more this upcoming year. 46% of the group who said their financial situation had become substantially worse during the last 12 months still plan to donate online this upcoming year. The non-profit organizations least likely to receive donations are those supporting animal causes at 32%; environment issues 25% or the arts and cultures 21% 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service OBJECTIVES: When Ad 2 Orlando - Public Service set out to establish clear and realistic objectives for our partnership two things became extremely clear, very quickly. 1. Must get the word out. Without significantly greater public knowledge of Judy’s life mission and the shelter, the second objective would become a much more difficult task to achieve. The awareness would be extremely crucial in order to continue to provide care in a safe and healthy environment for all the animals. 2. Increase donations and increase animal adoption. Pet Rescue By Judy exists solely on private donations, taking care of the animals until they are adopted. Getting animals adopted into permanent homes is the ultimate goal. It is very important that the adoptive home becomes their forever home and they don’t end up back at Pet Rescue By Judy. If an animal can no longer be cared for by the adoptive party, it is Judy’s responsibility to take the animal back in. TARGET AUDIENCE: In regards to fundraising our primary target audience came in two forms, one of which would be people who are pet owners and that have adopted from Judy in the past. The second would be the general public and animal lovers. People that have adopted from Pet Rescue By Judy previously understand that she needs funding to keep going. Targeting fundraising efforts to this audience ensured that we had passionate advocates to help spread the word about our cause. Targeting the general public would serve as an avenue to reach those who are animal lovers and those looking to adopt/donate that weren’t aware of Pet Rescue By Judy. 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service CAMPAIGN STRATEGIES: A. Internal Strategies: One of the biggest challenges facing Pet Rescue By Judy was in establishing a much broader member base consisting of animal lovers and long-term donors. Pet Rescue by Judy survives on donations and getting animals adopted. Their goal is not just to find homes but to ensure that each animal goes in to a “forever home”. B. External Strategies: The primary challenge that Ad 2 Public Service faced when it came time to create a full service ad campaign geared towards an external audience was that Pet Rescue By Judy had been in existence for roughly 18 years but not very many people knew about the shelter. Pet Rescue By Judy needed much more community awareness and awareness reaching other communities in the Central Florida area. They also need a new generation of supporters. This new generation of strong and active supporters would help continue the Ad 2 efforts. Ad 2 Orlando’s strategies included: To develop a campaign that positions Pet Rescue by Judy as the best resource to find your animal companion in life. Identifying options for giving to Pet Rescue By Judy, either with money or time, that will appeal to a wide variety of prospected donors. Getting Pet Rescue By Judy in a position to sustain long-term success and growth. Increasing the level of fundraising efforts and awareness levels so that Pet Rescue By Judy could independently host fundraisers of their own. 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service Build a new generation of supporters to help ensure consistent organized growth. EXECUTION: A. Campaign overview: Upon numerous site visits to the shelter, we repeatedly heard Judy and her staff refer to animals as being “found”. This term was referring to how she and her staff came across the animals. Whether she “found” them or they “found” her. Some of the situations in which she “found” these animals were not very uplifting, in fact quite the opposite. A majority of the animals came from abusive situations or had been abandoned and left to die. Despite these heart-wrenching environments that these animals had grown up in they were still an absolute joy to be around and still wanted to be someone’s companion and best friend. It was through meeting these animals, hearing their stories and all that they had come from and managed to be “found” by Judy. This was how we came up with our campaign theme “Found”. B. Traditional Media: Our creative was executed through the following forms: 3 print ads (Exhibit 9), 3 outdoor boards (Exhibit 10), 1 television spot (Exhibit 11), 2 radio spots (one scripted and one live PSA) (Exhibit 12) and a new interactive and campaign specific micro-site (Exhibit 13). C. Public relations: Public relations efforts were tackled through traditional press releases sent via social networking sites, including Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter as well as a variety of forums and blogs. We were also able to secure radio promotions and interviews to raise awareness for our new client. 2010 – 2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service D. Interactive and Non-traditional Media: Interactive objectives were carried out through a new micro-site (foundatjudys.org), as well as eblasts, an enewsletter, and implementation of their new logo brand on their Facebook and Twitter pages. E. Collateral platform: Collateral pieces (Exhibit 14) were designed, printed and delivered to the client in the form of a full stationery package including new business cards, letterheads and envelopes. Furthermore, our fundraiser gala came with designed and donated invitations. F. Fundraising: Our cornerstone of our efforts came in the form of two fundraising events. Towards the end of March and beginning of April we are hosting a day event titled “Pets In The Park”. As well as a formal evening gala titled “Black Ties For Bones”. (Exhibit 15) EVALUATION: Based on the results seen from the very beginning of our campaign and a final evaluation or our efforts, we feel very confident that our work as well as the education provided to our client will help them to keep the organization very much alive and prosperous for the long-term. 1 COMMITTEE ROSTERS 2010-2011 Club Achievement Competition | Public Service 2 CALL FOR ENTRIES Press Release CONTACT: Wayne Kan, Public Service Chair E-MAIL: [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 9, 2010 AD 2 ORLANDO IS SEEKING A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATON TO RECEIVE FREE AD CAMPAIGN.
