What is the Public Service Project?
Ad 2 Louisville is in search of local nonprofit organizations to apply for its inaugural public service campaign – a completely pro bono advertising campaign for a deserving nonprofit. This initiative coincides with Ad 2 affiliates across the nation who donate thousands of dollars in media value and communications services to local nonprofits in need of exposure.
The Ad 2 team will work with the selected nonprofit to gather an understanding of its goals in order to execute a fully integrated marketing campaign that includes elements such as social media, public relations, creative efforts, and traditional advertising. This will consist of a well-developed strategic marketing plan with varied deliverables such as social media, print advertising, digital collateral and marketing efforts, branding and logo creation, and earned media/public relations efforts.
The Ad 2 Louisville team will present the results during the Ad 2 Public Service Advertising Competition, competing against other affiliates’ campaigns. Participating clubs submit a written report about their campaign, followed by an oral presentation at ADMERICA, AAF’s National Conference, next summer. Industry judges evaluate the campaigns, and the Ad 2 chapter that wins the Public Service Competition gets to present its campaign to all attendees at the AAF National Conference.
