Client UNICEF’s ADAP program (Adolescent Development and Participation) Key fact According to Progress for Children: A report card on adolescents, there is a “significant need for improved investment in all aspects of adolescent’s lives, wellbeing – even in their struggle for survival.” Adolescents are also a proactive generation who can help better their communities. Consumer problem to overcome People who fund and donate tend to be more sympathetic toward children in dire situations, but adolescents from ages 10 – 19 haven’t received as much aid. Advertising goal UNICEF offers programs for adolescents to get involved in humanitarian and government issues, climate change, child protection, and HIV/AIDS prevention. Our goal is twofold: 1) Get donations and funding that go toward improving the lives of adolescents in developing nations; 2) Get active participation from these adolescents to give them skills and knowledge about social issues so they develop humanitarian values that they will take with them to adulthood. Principal competition Other foreign relief nonprofit organizations that can potentially take away donation dollars from UNICEF’s adolescent programs. Some of these are Africare, The Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Project HOPE, and The Rockefeller Foundation. Target market The market is potential donors: males and females ages 2560 with disposable income and humanitarian values. They often donate to charities and social causes. These are members of an affluent society with enough money to meet their basic needs and want to contribute to improving conditions for less fortunate. Creative strategy In this advertising campaign we will emphasize that it is important to invest in improving adolescents’ quality of life because they are the future of society. This campaign will include photos and statements of real life examples of young people who made differences in their communities. It will inspire donors to invest in adolescents because they are our future’s innovators. Reason Why While UNICEF has gotten a lot of support when it comes to child and infant emergency relief, the adolescents in developing nations tend to get overlooked. Getting potential donors to contribute money will help UNICEF fund health, water, sanitation, and relief programs to educate adolescents and give them skills to help their communities.

 Client-­‐  UNICEF’s  ADAP  program  (Adolescent  Development  and  Participation)    Key  fact-­‐  According  to  Progress  for  Children:  A  report  card  on  adolescents,  there  is  a    “significant  need  for  improved  investment  in  all  aspects  of  adolescent’s  lives,  well-­‐being  –  even  in  their  struggle  for  survival.”  Adolescents  are  also  a  pro-­‐active  generation  who  can  help  better  their  communities.    Consumer  problem  to  overcome-­‐  People  who  fund  and  donate  tend  to  be  more  sympathetic  toward  children  in  dire  situations,  but  adolescents  from  ages  10  –  19  haven’t  received  as  much  aid.      Advertising  goal-­‐  UNICEF  offers  programs  for  adolescents  to  get  involved  in  humanitarian  and  government  issues,  climate  change,  child  protection,  and  HIV/AIDS  prevention.  Our  goal  is  two-­‐fold:  1)  Get  donations  and  funding  that  go  toward  improving  the  lives  of  adolescents  in  developing  nations;  2)  Get  active  participation  from  these  adolescents  to  give  them  skills  and  knowledge  about  social  issues  so  they  develop  humanitarian  values  that  they  will  take  with  them  to  adulthood.      Principal  competition-­‐  Other  foreign  relief  non-­‐profit  organizations  that  can  potentially  take  away  donation  dollars  from  UNICEF’s  adolescent  programs.  Some  of  these  are  Africare,  The  Red  Cross,  Doctors  Without  Borders,  Project  HOPE,  and  The  Rockefeller  Foundation.    Target  market-­‐  The  market  is  potential  donors:  males  and  females  ages  25-­‐60  with  disposable  income  and  humanitarian  values.  They  often  donate  to  charities  and  social  causes.  These  are  members  of  an  affluent  society  with  enough  money  to  meet  their  basic  needs  and  want  to  contribute  to  improving  conditions  for  less  fortunate.      Creative  strategy-­‐  In  this  advertising  campaign  we  will  emphasize  that  it  is  important  to  invest  in  improving  adolescents’  quality  of  life  because  they  are  the  future  of  society.  This  campaign  will  include  photos  and  statements  of  real  life  examples  of  young  people  who  made  differences  in  their  communities.  It  will  inspire  donors  to  invest  in  adolescents  because  they  are  our  future’s  innovators.      Reason  Why-­‐  While  UNICEF  has  gotten  a  lot  of  support  when  it  comes  to  child  and  infant  emergency  relief,  the  adolescents  in  developing  nations  tend  to  get  overlooked.  Getting  potential  donors  to  contribute  money  will  help  UNICEF  fund  health,  water,  sanitation,  and  relief  programs  to  educate  adolescents  and  give  them  skills  to  help  their  communities.

 Visual-­‐  This  will  be  a  full-­‐page  ad  that  features  a  photograph  of  adolescent  students  in  a  classroom  in  Haiti,  Namibia  or  another  emerging  country  where  UNICEF  offers  ADAP  programs.  From  this  photograph,  it  is  clear  that  the  school  has  less  money  and  lower  quality  than  schools  in  first-­‐world  countries.  The  kids  look  young,  bright  and  optimistic.  They  are  smiling  and  appear  to  be  eager  to  learn.  The  goal  of  this  ad  is  to  be  inspirational  and  invoke  sympathy  that  makes  the  audience  want  to  donate  to  these  hopeful  students’  cause.  The  headline  will  appear  at  the  top  left  of  the  page.  The  subhead  will  be  in  all  capital  letters  directly  under  the  headline.  It  will  be  at  a  diagonal  angle  which  will  make  it  appear  as  if  it  where  stamped.  The  body  copy  will  be  to  the  right  of  it  in  smaller  print.  The  UNICEF  logo  will  appear  underneath  the  body  copy.    Headline:  Tomorrow’s  Innovators  need  your  help  today    Subhead:  INVEST  IN  ADOLESCENTS    Body  Copy:  UNICEF’s  Adolescent  Development  and  Participation  Program  (ADAP)  educates  young  people  on  social  issues  and  provides  workshops  that  give  them  the  skills  they  need  to  improve  their  communities.  Donate  to  improve  their  quality  of  life.  The  quality  of  our  future  depends  on  it.  www.unicef.org

Visual-­‐  This  ad  campaign  will  be  a  series  of  photographs  that  feature  an  adolescent  in  their  own  community.  Each  ad  will  be  one  photo  of  the  city  in  an  emerging  nation  that  has  gone  through  some  kind  of  distress  or  turmoil.  An  adolescent  who  made  a  difference  in  the  community  through  UNICEF  programs  will  be  the  focal  point  of  the  photo.  They  will  be  pictured  slightly  bigger  than  the  correct  proportion  and  the  shot  will  be  at  an  angle  where  the  camera  is  pointing  up  at  them.  This  angle  will  make  it  appear  as  if  the  adolescent  is  rising  from  adversity.  It  is  a  kind  of  an  exaggerated  concept  for  a  post-­‐apocalyptic  theme.  The  image  will  be  photoshopped  in  saturated,  sepia  tones  with  deep  shadows.  This  way,  the  ad  will  appear  to  be  more  monochromatic  and  easier  on  the  eyes.  The  campaign  series  will  use  three  different  photographs,  a  different  one  for  each  ad.    One  will  be  of  a  boy  in  Haiti  who  will  stand  over  the  post-­‐earthquake  rubble  in  Port  Au  Prince.  Another  will  be  a  girl  in  Egypt  who  will  stand  over  Cairo  that  faces  political  turmoil  and  civil  unrest.  The  last  one  will  be  a  boy  in  Pakistan’s  Waziristan  area  who  will  stand  over  the  destruction  of  the  war-­‐torn  state.    These  are  all  real  examples  of  adolescents  who  contributed  to  improving  their  city  through  UNICEF  programs.    The  headline  will  appear  on  the  right  side  of  the  ad  with  the  UNICEF  logo  underneath.    Headline:    EDUCATE  ADOLESCENTS  EMPOWER  CHANGE  ENSURE  OUR  FUTURE

Web  Essentials  Summary    

Banner  Ads    

UNICEF’s  banner  ads  have  prominent  brand  recognition.  There  is  a  consistent  use  of  

light  blue,  the  color  of  their  logo.  Many  of  the  ads  are  in  black  and  white  with  light  blue  

element  that  stands  out.  Their  banner  ads  present  different  incentives  and  new  offers.  

They  keep  their  message  fresh  to  remind  people  of  the  wide  variety  of  issues  and  causes  

they  can  donate  to.  For  example,  they  have  advertisements  for  their  Tap  Project,  ending  

preventable  diseases  and  ending  human  trafficking.  I  did  not  see  any  advertisements  for  

the  Adolescents  in  Participation  Program  that  I  worked  on  for  my  copy  assignments.  The  

ads  are  engaging  with  interactive  mouse-­‐over  media.  They  feature  photos  of  suffering  

children  in  emerging  nations,  which  invokes  emotion  and  drives  visitors  to  the  site.  

Web  Copy  and  SEO  

UNICEF’s  website  has  an  abundance  articles,  reports  and  databases.  The  

standard  for  most  companies  is  to  keep  web  copy  as  short  as  possible,  but  I  think  

UNICEF  is  exempt  from  this  because  visitors  use  this  sight  for  research.  As  a  prominent  

non-­‐profit,  UNICEF  has  a  lot  of  information  that  needs  to  be  available.  Their  articles  

have  an  effective  use  of  inverted  pyramid  style  where  the  main  messages  are  located  at  

the  top  and  less  important  details  are  at  the  bottom.  The  site  does  feature  shorter  copy  

for  the  average  visitor  who  just  wants  some  background  into  their  company.  The  site  

has  brief  summaries,  informative  headlines  and  subheads.  While  the  pages  require  a  lot  

Page 6: UNICEF Ad Campaign

of  scrolling,  many  important  facts  are  broken  into  bullet  points,  used  as  captions  for  

photos  and  called  out  in  bold  letters  or  different  colored  font.    

UNICEF’s  websites  optimizes  keywords  as  a  way  to  get  traffic  through  SEO.    Their  

content  is  full  of  phrases  about  which  countries,  causes,  programs,  celebrity  

ambassadors  and  reports  they’re  featuring  or  working  on.  For  example,  “UNICEF  

supports  Malians  displaced  by  conflict”  “Can  You  See  Me?  Profiles  of  Children”  and  

“David  Beckham:  Goodwill  Ambassador  and  Advocate.”  

Keywords  such  as:  immunization,  child  survival,  third-­‐world  education,  global  

leaders  are  strategically  placed  in  the  first  and  last  paragraphs.  UNICEF  utilizes  relevant  

headlines  and  subheads  for  easy  SEO.  For  example,  “Child  Survival  and  Development,”  

and  “Basic  Education  and  Gender  Equality.”  The  subheads  include  keywords  such  as:  

nutrition,  environmental  interventions,  AIDS  transmissions  and  violence  against  

children.  UNICEF  does  not  use  keywords  for  images.  Changing  file  names  from  

“ibc_1_11488”  to  an  actual  description  of  the  photo  would  make  fore  more  effective  

SEO.  

Web  Content/Design:    

UNICEF  has  a  simple,  memorable  URL,  their  name  www.unicef.org.  The  landing  

pages  also  have  unique,  easily  navigated  URLs  such  as  www.unicef.org/index  or  

www.unicef.org/supply.    

UNICEF’s  website  is  engaging  and  interactive  for  visitors.  It  has  a  marquee  of  

news  stories  and  a  featured  video  on  the  landing  page.  The  site  features  many  photos,  

Page 7: UNICEF Ad Campaign

graphs  and  great  visuals,  which  are  essential  to  any  company’s  web  content.  It  is  also  

not  in  Flash.  

It  has  a  simple  navigation  system  that  includes  primary  navigation  on  the  landing  

page,  secondary  navigation  that  brings  you  to  many  different  sections,  and  a  universal  

search  at  the  top  of  the  page.  UNICEF  also  has  an  email  program  for  newsletters,  a  

contact  us  option  and  an  easy  opt-­‐out  feature  located  at  the  bottom  of  the  page.  

UNICEF  doesn’t  use  QR  codes  but  should  start  using  them  to  increase  website  traffic.    

The  website  reinforces  brand  recognition  because  the  overall  design,  font  style,  and  

colors  are  consistent  throughout  the  various  pages.  The  aesthetic  and  format  of  second,  

third  and  fourth-­‐level  pages  are  the  same  as  the  landing  page.    

The  web  content  is  prioritized  well.  The  homepage  features  a  sequential  list  that  

goes  in  this  order:  1)  Emergencies;  2)  Syrian  Crisis;  3)  World  Immunization  Week;  4)  

Special  Reports;  5)  Nutrition;  6)  Committing  to  Child  Survival;  and  7)  Education.  Their  

site  is  similar  to  a  news  source  because  it  features  their  latest  and  most  important  

causes  first  then  drills  down  to  additional  information.  Although  the  website  features  so  

much  information,  it  successfully  organizes  it  in  an  easily  accessible  way.
