The Challenge
We-Care.com Aims To Put On Timely Event For Partner Non-Profit
In light of Robin Williams’ passing, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
and We-Care.com wanted to raise funds and awareness for the cause.
With World Suicide Prevention Say (Sept. 10) nearing quickly, they decided to screen a cult favorite Robin Williams movie,
collecting donations for the 67+ chapters of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
However, with less than one month to pull together a New York City movie screening,
they needed public relations and event marketing assistance.
Executing Event Marketing In Record Time
With the desired dates on the calendar, the only solution was to work efficiently to meet tight deadlines.
In addition, in order to receive the support needed to execute such a large-scale event in just a few short weeks,
the team also reached out to additional corporate partners with similar values to co-sponsor the event.
Some of the deliverables included:
- Venue scouting and confirmation
- Social media strategy
- Email marketing campaign
- Design of marketing collateral
- Press release creation and distribution
- Event logistics, including staffing and permits
Execution
Creating An Engaging Screening That Delivered Meaningful Donations
With less than one month before the desired event, team members secured an official event partnership with AFSP.
Then, they set about finding a location large and stately enough to hold the event, eventually securing the French Institute’s Florence Gould Hall Theatre In New York City as a donation to the cause. The team also designed visual collateral for advertising before and during the screening.
They also secured an additional corporate partner – Eflixir.com, a former movie streaming site. As a co-sponsor of the event, they helped to shoulder the costs. In addition, they agreed to donate $1 for every Robin Williams film streamed on their platform that month, which equated to thousands of dollars.
The team then built comprehensive media lists, wrote press releases, and sent them out to journalists to secure press coverage before, during and after the event.
Media coverage, as well as email marketing and social media campaigns, also fostered strong ticket sales.
Finally, they worked the event, ensuring admission, concessions, donation collection, screening, visitor experience, and eventual delivery to the non-profit went smoothly.
