AAF-Baton Rouge Club Achievement Entry: Communications
Last year, the AAF-BR Communications Committee set a high standard for achievement by
redesigning and re-launching the aafbr.org website and implementing a system to streamline
the internal process of planning our communications schedule. This year, our focus has been to
build upon that system by working with each of the other AAF-BR committees to ensure that all
aspects of club operations, membership, event details, and more are considered when putting
together our communications schedule.
Our primary goals going into the 2016-17 year included:
1. Strengthening our social media communications before, during, and after events; and,
2. Posting fresh content relating to guest speakers/events, and highlight membership
We tackled the first goal by adding new social media accounts to our roster—Instagram,
Snapchat, and Soundcloud—and maintaining each one with the same consistency as our
previously established accounts on other platforms. To address the second goal, we worked
with the Programs committee to prepare content such as “Did You Know?” tidbits about our
guest speakers to post on the AAF-BR Facebook leading up to luncheons. We also turned
to our board to submit committee member mini-biographies to be featured on weekly
#MembershipMonday posts to break up the feed of event-focused promotions, and put the
spotlight on the people that make those events possible.
By working closely with the rest of the board and focusing on these goals, we’ve done the
following: improved our engagement with members, increased interaction on multiple
platforms, and built a solid social media calendar.
Regular Communications with Members
AAF-Baton Rouge communicates information to members most often via information posted on
our website, weekly email updates, various social media channels, and printed collateral.
Vehicle 1: AAF-Baton Rouge Website - aafbr.org (Exhibit 1)
2
AAFBR.org is the central heartbeat of our organization, where current and potential members
have the ability to do everything from paying their dues to registering for an upcoming event. A
year and a half ago, we put our focus on overhauling the website from top to bottom. This year,
we have focused on continuing to build on those improvements.
2016-17 Goals & New Efforts: We wanted to continue to provide an online hub reinforcing the
idea that AAF-BR is the go-to organization for advertising and media professionals in Baton
Rouge by continuing to update homepage sliders, the event calendar, and information about the
board. AAFBR.org hosted email addresses for each committee were created to receive any
comments or questions to a dedicated inbox.
Target Audience: Greater Baton Rouge-area members and non-members, professionals
and students in advertising, media, public relations, sales & marketing, industry suppliers,
nonprofits, and creative services.
Budget: $0 annual cost (in-kind hosting and maintenance).
Distribution System: Publicly available; the URL is included on all distributed materials.
Results Achieved: AAFBR.org continues to be the primary way that members and non-
members are able to gather important information about the club and its events. Between
March 30, 2016 and January 5, 2017 there were 983 ticket purchases and RSVPs for 17 events
through the website, compared to 899 for 13 events since the new website launched in August
2015. (9.3% increase)
Vehicle 2: Email Marketing (Exhibit 2)
We send out weekly email blasts to members announcing upcoming meeting and AAF-BR
event information as well as community service opportunities and other industry happenings
around town.
2016-17 Goals & New Efforts: Continue to promote club information and upcoming events in
a concise, interesting manner. This year we focused on continuing to grow our subscriber list
3
and increase open rates by experimenting with different combinations of fun subject lines and
finding the ideal days/times to send emails so that they would get the most views.
Target Audience: Greater Baton Rouge-area members and non-members, professionals
and students in advertising, media, public relations, sales & marketing, industry suppliers,
nonprofits, and creative services.
Budget: $0 annual cost.
Distribution System: Emails are sent through MailChimp.
Results Achieved: Our subscriber list grew by 7.4%, and email open rate increased to 36.9%
from last year’s 32.8% (industry average is 13.79%). The most successful email we sent in the
last year encouraged members to get involved and vote to choose new board members, which
had a 53% open rate. The most clicked-through email had 9.9% click rate (industry average is
1.9%). By experimenting with sending emails on certain days of the week at certain times, we
found our ideal window - emails are more likely to be opened (and clicked!) if sent on a Tuesday
or Thursday afternoon between 2:30-4 p.m.
Vehicle 3: Social Media (Exhibit 3)
Membership information, upcoming events, event recaps, and relevant industry news are
shared and promoted on AAF-BR’s social media channels.
2016-17 Goals and New Efforts : Strengthen our social media communications before, during,
and after events and use social media to highlight our members. This year we created accounts
on previously unused platforms (Instagram, Snapchat, and Soundcloud) in order to find new
ways to connect with our members. Snapchat is used to catch photos and video snippets in-
the-moment during events, and Instagram is used for photo reminders of upcoming and past
events and initiatives. On Soundcloud, we posted podcast-style audio recordings of previous
luncheons, which were posted for ‘Throwback Thursday’ in the weeks leading up to the 2016
Kickoff Social to drum up excitement for the new AAF-BR year.
4
We’ve also worked to liven up our already established social media accounts. We launched a
new Facebook vertical, #MembershipMondays, to put a weekly spotlight on members of the
club outside of the board. On YouTube, we’ve begun posting video recordings of our monthly
luncheons so that no one has to miss out on the fun. On Twitter, we have continued last year’s
established practice of live-tweeting luncheons and encouraging members to live tweet as
well, facilitating conversation both online and in person!
Target Audience: Greater Baton Rouge-area members and non-members, professionals
and students in advertising, media, public relations, sales & marketing, industry suppliers,
nonprofits, creative services, and students.
Budget: Regular posts are $0, $15-$35 is spent per boosted Facebook posts. Costs for boosted
posts come from the budgets of the committees.
Distribution System: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and Soundcloud
Results Achieved:
74.3K Twitter impressions: 600% increase over 15/16 year
20.5% increase in Twitter likes: 170 this year vs. 141 last year
9.2% increase in Facebook likes (1,037 to 1,132)
Average Facebook post engagement (encompassing clicks/comments/reactions/shares): 181
Instagram followers: 94
Vehicle 4: Printed Collateral (Exhibit 4)
2016-17 Goals: Provide tangible reminders of important AAF-BR club information and events.
Target Audience: Greater Baton Rouge-area members and non-members, professionals
and students in advertising, media, public relations, sales & marketing, industry suppliers,
nonprofits, creative services, and students.
Budget: Design and print services are donated. $250 for postage and mailing services.
Distribution System: Direct mail and handouts at events.
5
Results Achieved: We were able to provide members with greater awareness of upcoming
events while providing helpful information about those events that could be kept as physical
reminders.
EVENT OR MEETING PROMOTIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
2016-17 Goals: Increase awareness of and attendance at events to ensure that members and
non-members alike understand the value of AAF-BR membership. We did this by seeking out
interesting speakers for monthly luncheons, exciting topics for workshops, and making sure
our regular annual events continue to be fun for all who attend.
Target Audience: Greater Baton Rouge area members and non-members, professionals
and students in advertising, media, public relations, sales & marketing, industry suppliers,
nonprofits, creative services, and students.
Budget: $0 annual. Members of each committee are responsible for the design of the
promotion of their events, while the Communications committee handles the announcements
and social media posts.
Distribution System: Event promotions and announcements are distributed via weekly email
blasts, posts on social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat), real
estate on the aafbr.org homepage, press releases to local news outlets, and
print collateral.
Monthly Luncheons (Exhibit 5)
On the first Friday of each month (except the month of the American Advertising Awards), we
host a luncheon featuring a speaker from outside of our market to bring new and interesting
perspectives on various topics. In the past year, these speakers included:
• Oen Michael Hammonds, Designer & Lead Facilitator at IBM: People + Practices +
Places = Outcomes
• Tal Leming, Typographer: Letters and the Stuff Around Them
6
• Ken Krimstein, Creative Director & Cartoonist: A New Yorker Cartoonist Bares All
• Gina Nacey, Creative Strategist: Behind the ADDY Curtain: An Insider’s Perspective with
the “Mean Judge”
• Andy Miller, Illustrator & host of the Creative Pep Talk podcast: My Creative Career is a
Game of Hot and Cold
Workshops (Exhibit 6)
In addition to our monthly luncheons, we incorporated after-hours workshops:
• We partnered with Lamar Graphics for a tour through their 3D production facilities
and processes.
• In November, famed designer Aaron Draplin stopped through Baton Rouge during his
book tour, gave us a look into some of his best practices and told stories about his life.
Socials (Exhibit 7)
AAF-BR regularly holds socials for active and prospective members to get together, network,
and learn more about getting involved with the club. This past year included:
• 2016-17 Kickoff Social - Kicking off the new AAF year with a bang
• AdFed 101 - Introducing new & prospective members to each of the committees that
keep AAF-BR running
• I-Scream Social at the 13th Gate - An opportunity to meet up and get scared silly at one
of the most well-known haunted houses in Louisiana
• LSU vs. Arkansas Tailgate Party at the Varsity - We rented out the balcony area at a
local hang-out to host a watch party
Fundraisers (Exhibit 8)
In October 2016, we hosted our annual Media Auction, where Baton Rouge area businesses can
bid on media and creative services from local agencies and vendors.
Community Service Initiatives (Exhibit 9)
AAF-BR dedicates time and resources to enrich our community. Here’s how we gave back
7
this year:
• We partnered with the Boys and Girls Club for the Blue Door Campaign in August,
getting local companies involved with window decals and 3D printed doors at
their offices.
• In association with Junior Achievement of Greater Baton Rouge, AAF-BR member.
companies sponsored and mentored high school students for the J.A. Big Pitch
competition in November. The AAF-BR Communications committee donated time and
service to help come up with an entirely new brand for the competition - including a new
name, logo, digital flyer, and a Snapchat filter.
• In January, a group of members got together to spend a day working on branding and
marketing for local organization UpAlliance’s upcoming Adult Spelling Bee.
American Advertising Awards (Exhibit 10)
After a crazy successful AAA season in 2016, we set our sights on upping the ante for 2017. With
the theme “The Greatest Show On Earth” to set the tone, we’ve created a cast of characters to
promote the 2017 Baton Rouge American Advertising Awards via printed collateral, direct mail,
email newsletters, and social media. In the days leading up to Call for Entries, we even put
together a Snapchat story walking through the process of how to prepare physical ADDY entries
for submission.
SELF-PROMOTION (Exhibit 11)
Goals: Increase awareness of AAF-Baton Rouge as a valuable resource and partner for
marketing and advertising professionals, as well as local vendors and charitable organizations.
Target Audience: Current members and non-members: Baton Rouge professionals and
students in the advertising, media, public relations, sales & marketing, nonprofit, and creative
disciplines as well as area business owners and vendors.
Budget: $0 annual. Time and resources spent on design and communications are donated by
8
AAF-BR committees and members, printing is in-kind.
Distribution System: Printed collateral, press releases to local news organizations.
Results: Our press releases have resulted in media coverage in local online and print
publications including the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, The Advocate, and
225 Magazine.
CONCLUSION
Adding new (to us) networks to our social media roster and diversifying the type of content
featured on all of our accounts resulted in a successful and rewarding year for the
Communications committee. In doing so, we have been able to increase our following and
interaction with members on all channels - and with #MemberCrushMonday, we’ve gotten the
members involved, too! We also had a successful year building up our partnerships with other
organizations including Junior Achievement of Greater Baton Rouge, paving the way for more
exposure for the club down the line. We hope to continue to provide value to our members by
continuing these efforts for the rest of this year and beyond.
