Today’s Media Landscape
• Passive “consumption” of messages through TV screen is declining
• Three screens competing for attention (tv, computer, phone)
• Consumer-generated content also competing as means of communicating messages
Emergence of Consumer Engagement:

Best Practices
![Page 8: The Art of Getting Attention in the PSA World Priscilla Natkins Executive Vice President, Director of Client Services](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb95503460f94980ab3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Identify an Actionable PSA Proposition
• Complex issues must be drilled down to focus on an individual action that is reasonable and achievable
• For example, within Health Care, an individual:
Can’t change costs associated with treatment Can’t provide access to those uninsured Can’t change malpractice settlements
![Page 9: The Art of Getting Attention in the PSA World Priscilla Natkins Executive Vice President, Director of Client Services](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb95503460f94980ab3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Identify an Actionable PSA Proposition
But, an individual CAN:
• Take small steps to a healthier lifestyle
• Choose not to drink and drive
• Understand the warning signs of autism in their child
• Extend themselves to a friend suffering from a mental illness

Identify a Core Target Audience
• Do not try and be all things to all people
• Who are the low-hanging fruit that you hope to change? What do they currently know about the issue? How open are they to change? How far do you need to move them before they take
action?
![Page 11: The Art of Getting Attention in the PSA World Priscilla Natkins Executive Vice President, Director of Client Services](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb95503460f94980ab3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Do Your Homework Upfront on Your Audience
Identify a Consumer Insight Through Strategic Planning
• Utilize qualitative and quantitative research to probe: What is stopping them from action? What message will be relevant and motivational? How do we deliver the message? Why would the consumer believe the message?
![Page 12: The Art of Getting Attention in the PSA World Priscilla Natkins Executive Vice President, Director of Client Services](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb95503460f94980ab3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Resist the Temptation to Say Too Much
Persuasive Creative Says Just OneOne Thing
• The most reliable way to ensure focused advertising is to start with a single-minded creative brief Background – Why are we advertising? Target Audience – Who are we talking to? Strategic Insight – What will get their attention? Main Message – What should the advertising say? Support – Why should they believe us? Call to Action – What do we want them to do?

Strive For Creative Excellence
• Great creative strikes a chord and motivates people to change Talk to the audience as you would a friend If possible, entertain them If needed, make them uncomfortable…to a point Once you’ve got them, don’t ask for too much

Establish Clear Metrics for Success
• Determine successful outcomes by establishing realistic measures before campaign launch
Donated media support Press coverage Visitors to the website Calls to the toll-free number Changes in awareness levels Changes in behavior
![Page 23: The Art of Getting Attention in the PSA World Priscilla Natkins Executive Vice President, Director of Client Services](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb95503460f94980ab3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Be Flexible and Proactive
• Stay on top of consumer trends and evolve your message over time to maintain relevance
• Work with community groups (boots on the ground) to perpetuate the message and give it a local face
• Understand and meet the needs of Public Service Advertising Directors
![Page 24: The Art of Getting Attention in the PSA World Priscilla Natkins Executive Vice President, Director of Client Services](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb95503460f94980ab3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Be Patient
• In nearly all instances, changing social norm from a behavior that is acceptable to unacceptable, or vice versa, takes time, dedication and continued funding
Acceptable in the Past New Social Norm
Drinking and Driving Intervention; Designated Driver
Smoking is Cool Smoking is Deadly; Un-cool
Driving without Seat Belts
Buckle-up. Always

Know when NOT to Develop a PSA Campaign
• Some issues don’t work well with PSAs: Messages that only affect a small percentage of the
population Messages that are time sensitive Messages that advocate
• Consider other options like paid advertising or direct mail to take the message to market
