ORorke, Inc.A FULL SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS FIRM Specializing in Strategic Social Marketing Campaigns
BEFORE WE DIVE INTO POLLUTION PREVENTION…
How do we get people to understand and do
what we want them to do?
We don’t.
We motivate them to do whatthey want to do.
We motivate them to do whatthey want to do.
Find within your issue the benefit for your target audience.
Present the perk in a way that makes them want to do it for their own reasons.
SOME BASIC HURDLES IN OUR WAY
1. We are working against billion dollar industries trying to sell things.
2. We live in an “immediate gratification,” consumer-impulse environment.
3. Most people are not naturally inclined to do something that’s “harder.”
4. Most people are too busy to deal with this “difficult” thing anyway.
CHANGE IS A PROCESS
• Behavior change doesn’t happen overnight.
• People make decisions in stages.• Little steps are a good thing,
because you are moving forward.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME…
WE SELL BEHAVIOR CHANGE
LIKE COMPANIES SELL PRODUCTS.
What is their motivation?
What is their message?
$$$$$$$$$
“Tastes great, looks great, feels good, costs
less.”
STRATEGY, STRATEGY, STRATEGY• Social marketing is not about
your agency, your ‘good cause.’
• It’s marketing like the tobacco industry markets cigarettes or Kellogg’s sells Corn Flakes –
appeal to self- interest.
• Know your audience. Listen to them. Their words can define a campaign.
BUSTING SOME MYTHS
• Brochures are out. • Trends translate differently for health
and environment issues than for pop culture.
• Traditional news (PR) often preaches to the choir.
• The environment is not a primary motivator.
GO BACK TO STRATEGY
Who is my audience?
What action do I want them to take?
What is ‘in it for them’ to take that action?
How can I convey that personal benefit in the most simple, easy-to-relate-to fashion?
Where should I place that message to make sure my audience will 1) see it; 2) absorb it; and 3) respond to it?
LITTER TRAVELS. But it can STOP with you… and me.

dropped something into the stormdrain?

seen a plastic bag fly away?
