Olga is stationed on the South Bank, and the public asked to draw a whale to support the campaign – Push on social media- incl. twitter
The campaign results • 27,167 took the action • 2,736 Whale drawings submitted and counting • >30,000 views of the videos • 34 pieces of UK media coverage including online with The Sun, Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph (online), MSN, AOL and Huffington Post • 3,500 Daily Whale newspapers handed out- targeted to bank staff • >5,000 tweets of the campaign url • 2800 facebook likes
Campaign Success • 3rd platform was postponed until 2014
Lessons learned • Run as social media campaign with off-line activities rather than more traditional campaign • Run the event as live and encourage social media • Use smart phone not a camera to upload photos to social media quickly • Comprehensive (dedicated and integrated) supporter comms
