CASE HISTORY
RTA Media
Challenge
Develop a media campaign to carry the RTA’s transit advocacy messaging. The objective was to raise very low public awareness of the Transit System’s looming fiscal crisis and drive online submissions from Chicago residents, asking their representative in Springfield to support a bill being introduced. There were only 7 weeks before the end of the State’s legislative session.
Approach
A strategic, cross-platform media campaign targeted adults age 35 – 64, reaching 90% in the Chicago DMA. The plan leveraged traditional and digital media to quickly build top-of-mind awareness and reinforce the need to take action. Measurable media weights and geo-targeting strategies maximized visibility and memory burn with Broadcast TV, Radio, CTV, Digital Out-of-Home, Print and Social media.
Results
Public awareness was significantly raised. The RTA saw an unprecedented level of response to the campaign, and letters sent to legislators.
