Executive summary

With ~500 days left until December 31, 2015, the deadline of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to achieve the goals of reducing child mortality by two-thirds and maternal mortality by three-quarters, action is increasingly vital. Every year 600,000 women and 7.3 million children die either during birth or within the first four weeks after birth. A new campaign will incentivize new and existing supporters to help lower these rates, and reach the MDGs: Introducing the #hellosunshine campaign The sun is the source of all life. It symbolizes warmth – both physical and emotional. The campaign is built on the desire to preserve and nurture (new) life – and uses yellow as its core color theme. The #hellosunshine campaign includes the following corner stones: ▪ The social media hashtag #hellosunshine ▪ A selfie contest (leveraging the yellow color theme and hashtag, as well as the sign for “sun” in sign language)

▪ Sponsors that fit into the topic of (new) life and (emotional) warmth ▪ Celebrities involvement (both national and international)

Participants’ and sponsors’ involvement in the #hellosunshine campaign Posts with the hashtag will increase awareness about the campaign.

A selfie contest, kicked off and supported by celebrities worldwide Selfies are everywhere. It is one of the biggest trends. It became the Oxford World of the Year 2013 because of its drastic climb in usage. An easy way to get involved is to post your selfies with the hashtag #hellosunshine. The picture should ideally show you make the sign language sign for “sun”. A worldwide selfie contest will spark and incentivize people to use the hashtag.

To kick off the contest, celebrities and government officials are asked to post #hellosunshine selfies of themselves. Pregnant celebrities, e.g., Alicia Keys, can be asked to exclusively post the first picture of their newborn with #hellosunshine. The technology sponsor, e.g., Samsung, gets involved by using their displays or creating the billboards. They would display the top 100 selfies but also a live stream of selected #hellosunshine posts, including World Vision’s own posts of saved children and their mothers. All billboards and displays show the #hellosunshine symbol, a QR code, and a web URL. The “Make Change Happen” website will contain detailed information about the current goals, e.g., targeted social media reach, targeted amount of money, and how much progress has been made. Naturally, the selfie contest will be hosted there, with the ability to upload new selfies, and view pictures of “saved” children and mothers in affected countries – with regular updates on how they are doing. Obviously, the site contains multiple ways to donate money, or share information (via Email, SMS, Social Media).

Participants can vote for the best selfies on the “Make Change Happen” website. The current top 100 selfies are displayed on a huge billboard or video display in major cities all over the world, e.g., New York’s Times Square, or Tokyo’s Shinjuku.

With new sponsors and (existing) supporters, the “battle for most generous” is commenced

A World Vision loyalty program will (re-)incentivize sponsors and supporters to get involved and donate repeatedly. Corporate sponsors will be put into categories, e.g., technology, food. The amounts of donated money will be made public through the World Vision website. Visual representations in pie charts show which sponsor has donated the most within a specific time frame, e.g., a month.

Google

57% Samsung 24% Apple

19%

Example pie chart

This will spark a competition for “most generous” sponsor – both within a sponsor category, as well as overall. “Winning” sponsors will receive the opportunity to place a product or brand in a World Vision ad or commercial.

Individuals can also get involved. This is part of the Gamification Design on the following pages.

Individual involvement Individual supporters can participate in a similar competition/game on a local, regional, and global scale. Instead of industry categories, they get grouped by geographical location (city, state, country), or can form their own groups.

Their involvement is measured by the “sunshine factor”, a score based on ▪ social engagement, e.g., number of #hellosunshine posts ▪ donated money, time or other helpful actions like sending an email to government

representatives ▪ referring new participants, or re-enabling old ones

A number of badges and levels helps to keep participants motivated to continue “playing”. Examples: ▪ A sunray badge for posting 10 times with #hellosunshine ▪ A star badge if you donate any amount of money ▪ Badges can be levelled up for repeating the tasks, or for reaching specific milestones

A leaderboard with the current individual, and group scores is available on the campaign website, and occasionally displayed in public. A mobile app gives you a real-time overview of current scores, incl. people you are connected with, e.g., via social media, and sponsors. It allows you to make donations at any time.

Special mission As a monthly special mission, players get the option to “subscribe” to an individual (newborn) child in a developing country for the duration of 4 weeks. During that time frame, you can check-in (through a website or the mobile app) to see pictures and updates on the child, and how it is developing. As part of the updates, a player learns more about the individual child as well as its environment, e.g., geographical, political information. For each day you “check in”, your score increases. At the end of the 4 weeks you receive the option to continue accompanying the child as a UNICEF supporter.

Special mission game mechanics, for a 28 day time frame: ▪ Each day checked-in: 100 points ▪ 7 consecutive check-ins: 500 points ▪ 24 total check-ins: 2000 points ▪ All 28 check-ins: 5000 points, and a unique “BFF” badge

You also get the first month of a 6-month UNICEF supporter status for free ▪ Donate money: 15 points per USD, e.g., 70 USD = 1050 points ▪ Any donation you, or someone you refer, makes during the time frame gets doubled by

World Vision and a sponsor ▪ Check-in within 4 hours near a #hellosunshine billboard or video display: 100 points per

player, e.g., 6 players check in within 4 hours in front of the Times Square #hellosunshine display gives all 6 players 600 points

▪ At the end of the 28 days, the top 100 players are featured on the “Make Change Happen” website

Conclusion

The #hellosunshine and “Make Change Happen” campaigns will increase awareness, get people involved, and convey positive emotions by providing direct and immediate feedback. They address everyone who treasures life and enjoys seeing (new) life blossom. At the same time it enables World Vision as well as (corporate) sponsors worldwide to increase awareness, and improve their reputation. It combines sponsors’ desire to receive attention with concrete actions to improve the health and survival rates of women and children, esp. in developing countries.
