Describe the objective of the promotion.

Christmas is the busiest time for the Auckland City Mission, a charity that provides support for families in need. We were asked to create awareness and raise money for the annual Auckland City Mission Christmas Appeal.



Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation.

We used high impact traditional media including television, radio, outdoor and newspapers to launch the campaign and trigger text and phone donations. We then activated the idea by giving everyone the chance to literally become angels. We spread angel wings throughout the city via posters, stickers, print, and stencils. People were encouraged to take pictures of themselves with the wings and then by posting the picture on Facebook, a sponsor would donate $5 on their behalf. This inspired instant spread through Facebook as all their Facebook friends were made aware of the campaign and inspired to participate themselves.



Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service.

Angels are iconic to Christmas. A time where the Auckland City Mission themselves become angels for many in need. By visually making our donators angels and spreading them on Facebook, we were able to show the kindness of Aucklanders and their Christmas spirit to a wider audience. We made donating fun, social and positive, attracting a new audience of donators.



Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results.

The campaign raised more money for Auckland City Mission than ever before. With a spend of just $55,000 the campaign generated $838,000 during the appeal. In the space of four weeks the Auckland City Mission doubled its Facebook fan base gaining new donators in the process. The campaign was picked up by a number of national and international news services, blogs and commentators and has become the benchmark for future Mission campaigns.
