A multi year strategic project aimed at turning around a decline in participation for one of Australia’s most famous fundraising events.<\/strong><\/p>\n For 22 years, Australia\u2019s Biggest Morning Tea\u00a0had been inspiring people to gather with friends and colleagues to raise funds for cancer research. Participation rates were falling every year and the event needed to rediscover its passion, or hang up the tea towel.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the question we asked ourselves. How do you take a 22-year-old mass participation event and\u00a0give it a chance to engage with the population anew?<\/p>\n The first step was to audit the previous 5 years of communications and see what was resonating with the audiences. Identifying these best performing pieces, we tested them against new creative that conformed to industry standard best practice. This gave us a new creative baseline.<\/p>\n To accompany this, I mapped out a rolling 12-month communications strategy connecting to key moments in the year. This was tailored to existing and lapsed participants and a new onboarding process aimed at encouraging new participants to engage more deeply.<\/p>\n This new human-centered plan was designed to foster a deeper relationship with the Cancer Council Organisation; Nurture friendships and sharing within the wider group of participants;\u00a0and support all participants with encouragement, fundraising tips, shared experiences and moments of surprise and delight.<\/p>\n\n
