Deliverables

Recruitment campaign for youth: Posters, Brochures, Web Video. General organizational public awareness campaign: Television, Radio Public Service Announcements.

Challenge

Katimavik has been in existence since 1977 and offers a terrific cadre of youth service learning and leadership development programs, but the organization is widely misunderstood and has very little public visibility. In a time when funding diversification is critically important, Katimavik turned to HyperActive to help accomplish both recruitment and public awareness objectives.

Strategies

Recruitment: A vibrant, lively, and contemporary approach in both print and video, giving the "voice" to youth who are participants in the program, dispelling myths, and giving the potential recruit a strong sense of what to expect during the 9-month program. Public Awareness: Canada faces a leadership crisis as the "brain drain" continues to take away our best and brightest youth. This campaign informs Canadians about Katimavik, and deliberately promotes leadership development and citizenship as the key "products" of the program.

Tools

Recruiting campaign for youth: posters, brochures, web video. General organizational public awareness campaign: television, radio public service announcements.

Results

This campaign has resulted in a significant increase in applications for the program, and the addition of new web-based video tools has added needed "punch" to the Katimavik website.
