Community-Focused Hispanic Radio Campaign

Based on 2010 Census for all ages. Consent rate among Hispanics was 51 % in 2011 Goal: Increase consent rates among Latinos in CTDN’s DSA Latinos in our DSA

Previous Campaigns Message was not customized for geographical areas Content sometimes was generic, translated from English Challenge Where is the greatest need? Which Latinos do we target? How do we make donation relevant to them?

Niche market

Where did we put in our resources? Radio Católica – Salinas 55 % Latino KIKI/KATD San Francisco-Sacramento 15 % Latino

What did we do differently? Changed message: “Talk to your family about donation”-vs- “Register today”. Normalized donation in our messaging by giving radio listeners a broad range of views that would better resonate with them. Concentrated on migrant agricultural farm workers who are either new arrivals who typically are “out of the loop” in terms of regular communications outreach programs. Production – $500 Broadcast – $7,200

We became scriptwriters, producers, voiceover talents in studio and post production partners Produced Public Service Announcements Scheduled interviews/small radio segments How did we do it? Approximately $2,500 of free advertising

Top 5 Takeaways Content conceived and written in Spanish is more effective. Geography makes a difference. Fostering family conversations is a less threating approach. Less is more. Find your niche market! We are production partners, not only seeking to sell donation.

2015 and beyond
