The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 4
Executive Summary The Lions Agencys One Road cyclist safety campaign for the North Florida Bicycle Club addresses the inordinate number of accidents occurring between cyclists and motorists within Duval County. After a thorough analysis of the problem, it is vital for measures to be taken to ensure that this pattern of accidents and fatalities in Duval County is reduced. Following this point, the overall goal for this campaign is to reduce the amount of accidents between motorists and cyclists within the span of two years in Duval County. In order to effectively reach this campaigns goal, it is imperative to pay particular attention to the affected audiences. The two parties that serve as the primary audiences are cyclists and motorists. Each of these audiences must be targeted equally because their knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors will have a direct impact on the problem. Aside from these parties, a tertiary audience in this campaign is the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office (JSO). This particular audience has the ability to actively influence the other parties by advocating cyclist-motorist safety and enforcing laws appropriately. In accordance with the affected audiences, there are defined objectives for each of the concerned parties. These same objectives are based upon a know, believe, behave model that is congruent throughout the campaign. In regards to motorists, the campaign aims to increase Duval County drivers knowledge of cyclist/driver laws. Also, other objectives directed towards Duval County motorists are to change beliefs that following cyclist/motorist laws are in their best interest, and to ultimately change motorists behavior in following cyclist/motorist laws. The objectives for cyclists aim to change their beliefs to be that cyclist laws are in their best interest and, ultimately, to change their behaviors so they follow the laws pertaining to them. Finally, it is important to increase the knowledge of Duval County law enforcement in regards to both motorist and cyclist laws. Following these closely defined objectives, certain strategies must be implemented to target the various affected audiences. The strategies that pertain to the motorists include persuading drivers to place an importance on the safety of cyclists and informing motorists of the laws regarding cyclists and drivers in Duval County using mass media. A few tactics that will offer support to these strategies include maximizing the use of radio during drive time to inform motorists of the 3-foot rule and producing a video with the intent of going viral that demonstrates the impact of unsafe driving habits. The strategies relevant to cyclists involve persuading cyclists that following the law is beneficial to them through the promotion of social media campaigns and informing them of the benefits of upholding cyclist rules through the use of mass media. Some of the tactics that are used to support these strategies include creating a Twitter handle used to promote weekly cyclist safety tips and developing a PSA that clearly demonstrates the issues of riding unsafely. For the tertiary audience of the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, the strategies include persuading the deputies that their enforcement of cyclist/motorist laws can make a difference, and informing the Sheriffs Office of laws concerning cyclist/motorist interaction. The tactics that support these strategies include presenting PSAs that show the impact of cyclists and motorists disobeying the law and creating informational posters and brochures containing the laws. 5 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Situation Analysis Problem Statement The state of Florida has over twice as many bicyclist deaths per million capita as other high-ranking states with even larger populations, with a rate of 6.56 cyclist deaths per million. With so many motorist-bicyclist deaths and injuries occurring each year, it is clear this problem needs attention. While the current infrastructure in Duval County presents its own limitations, there are other ways to reduce accidents that involve cyclists and motorists. The attitudes and behaviors of both parties contributes significantly enough that with a change in both, there could be a reduction in accidents. There is an opportunity for our agencys client, the North Florida Bicycle Club (NFBC), to step up and begin addressing this problem in Northeast Florida. Through the support of sponsors and possible coalitions with organizations that prioritize bicycle safety, a campaigns visibility could penetrate Duval County and begin reducing the occurrence of accidents as soon as 2014. The NFBC promotes fun and safe cycling within its club members and community. However, there are a great number of bicycle/car accidents that happen outside the NFBCs sphere of influence. There is therefore an opportunity for the institution of a cyclist safety campaign that will help reduce bicycle/car accidents in Duval County. By design the campaign will resonate with the Duval County community and help effectively solve this issue. A main priority is creating top of mind awareness for the NFBCs One Road Cyclist Safety Campaign and promoting the mutual respect drivers and cyclists can have for each other and the road. If this problem of motorist-cyclist accidents is not solved, Duval County will continue to see a great number of injuries and fatalities and may remain one of the most unsafe areas for cyclists to ride. Through a comprehensive media plan and various creatives this campaign seeks to make Duval County a safer place for everyone on the road. The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 6
Strengths
Large number of club members Strong relationship with the JSO NFBC has established ride safety programs Great community connections and sponsorships Well-established and respected club within Northeast Florida
Weaknesses
Limited budget for campaign Lack of exposure of the NFBC Limitations to a 501c7 organization Low awareness of the cyclist safety problem in Duval County Limitations with media buying and gaining sponsorships/support for campaign
Opportunities
Growing public awareness of issue Reinstate bicycle safety programs in educational facilities Willingness of both public and private organizations to support cyclist safety and the NFBC Establish a harmonious relationship with motorists
Threats
Other safety campaigns in the Duval County and surrounding areas Current infrastructure emphasizes motor transportation Local residents and opinion leaders view non-motorized road vehicles as an impediment
Situation Analysis SWOT Analysis Note to client: The SWOT analysis looks at internal and external factors surrounding a campaign. Looking at strengths and opportunities as well as weaknesses and threats can anticipate problems the campaign might encounter and identify ways that can propel the success of the campaign. 7 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Campaign Goal + Objectives In order to better understand the underlying problem behind the high incidents of bicycle/car accidents in Duval County, The Lions Agency conducted both primary and secondary research. Primary research included both in-depth interviews and cross-sectional surveys. There were a total of 267 survey respondents in Duval and St. Johns County. This primary data helps analyze the attitudes and beliefs of the population in our market and helped shape our campaigns objectives. What follows are some particular research results that illuminate possible reasons for the frequent occurrences of vehicle/bicycle collisions in Duval County.
Analysis: From these motorist results, we concluded that there is a problem with knowledge of the laws on the part of motorists. There also seems, however, to be an attitude that would allow a more harmonious cyclist-motorist relationship to exist in the future. What well do: Spread awareness and share knowledge
Analysis: From the cyclist surveys, we concluded that most cyclists know the laws or are at least aware of them. However, they do not seem to value safety nor choose to obey the laws that all vehicles must follow. A fearful attitude of riding on the road also exists. These attitudinal and behavioral items will be addressed with the campaign objectives. What well do: Persuade and change behavior
Research Primary Research: Surveys Cyclist Sample Size: 101
70% of people know that the helmet is the most important thing to wear to stay safe on a bicycle
66% of people do not wear their helmet when they ride
Just 38% of cyclists say they obey all traffic laws when riding
80% of cyclists feel unsafe when riding their bicycles on the road
Motorist Sample Size: 166
Only 35% of motorists know the 3 foot rule
76% of motorists believe that motorists should have to learn the rights of cyclists
73% of motorists see a possibility for cyclists and drivers to exist harmoniously This primary data collection was an important part in helping us understand the attitudes and behaviors of motorists and cyclists. This, in addition to the secondary research, set up the basis for the One Road campaign. The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 8
Secondary Research Secondary research was conducted to gather statistical data that was not available through primary research. This data helps us better understand the problem, especially as it compares to national statistics. According to federal statistics in 2008, 17.4% of bicyclists killed in the U.S. died in Florida. Federal data also shows that Florida has been in the top three in bicycle and pedestrian fatalities every year since 2001. Florida's Department of Transportation (FDOT) suggests a possible contributing cause for these fatalities: climate. Because Florida is temperate year-round, people are more likely to ride bicycles year-round as well. There is also a large population of elderly and tourist drivers which may or may not affect the disproportionate number of bicycle/car accidents that occur in Florida. In 2011, 48,000 American cyclists were injured in crashes. The most fatalities occurred between the hours of 4pm and 8pm, and the second largest number happened between 8pm and midnight, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This data illustrates the dangers that riding at dusk or at night can pose. In 2011, cyclists aged 45-54 had the highest fatality rate in the nation, and the most injured age group was 16-20. Most injuries and fatalities were male cyclists (78% and 85%, respectively). Florida had the fourth largest resident population in 2011, yet led the number of cyclist fatalities per million capita by a long shot (6.56; California had just 3.02). In 2009 the average age of bicyclists killed in crashes with motor vehicles was 41 years, up from 32 years in 1998 and 24 in 1988. 87 percent of those killed were male and 64 percent were between the ages of 25 and 64. Also in 2009 the average age of bicyclists injured in crashes with motor vehicles was 31 years, up from 24 years in 1998. 80 percent of those injured were male. 51 percent were between the ages of 25 and 64; 20 percent of those injured were under age 16.
Conclusion To address the disproportionate number of accidents that occur in Florida and, more particularly, Duval County, The Lions Agency created a locally-focused motor vehicle/bicycle safety campaign. Ad placements in various media will target motorists and cyclists in particular age groups and during specific times of day. Lack of awareness and knowledge plagues the motorist population and so messages from the campaign will address this and direct them to more resources online. Bicyclists do not seem to recognize the importance of safety gear and following the laws and so campaign messages will enforce what they likely already know in order to change their opinion and action. Research Secondary Research and Conclusion 9 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Primary Audiences: Motorists Cyclists
Tertiary Audience: Sheriffs Department (JSO)
Why? Three target markets will be the focus of the NFBC One Road campaign. Each market will contribute to the overall success of the campaign. Motorists and cyclists are two parties that contribute to the problem in their own ways and need their own messages. They are both primary because they must be targeted equally and their knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors will have a direct impact on the problem. Both need to be influenced in order for there to be a meaningful impact. The Jacksonville Sheriffs Office can be a part of helping (or hindering) the problem. They are a tertiary audience because they can enforce laws for bicyclists and motorists as well as help change behavior to be congruous to the law. They can also be an advocate for cyclist-motorist safety and can enforce laws appropriately.
Demographics For motorists a mass-marketing approach will be used. For cyclists there will be more specific sub-markets. Some secondary research indicated that men are more likely to be injured or killed in bicycle/car accidents and so they will be given a special focus.
Geographics Duval County, primarily the eastern part, will be targeted as that is where most of the county population resides.
Lifestyle The majority of Jacksonville area residents will fit into at least one of the two primary markets.
Sub-Markets Sub-markets are going to be specific audiences (within the target markets) that our campaigns efforts will be directed at. The sub-markets are as follows:
1. Cyclists 5-11 2. Cyclists 12-17 3. Cyclists and motorists 18-33 4. Cyclists and motorists 34-64 5. Motorists 65+
Breaking our market down into smaller categories will allow messages to be focused based on location and other related factors. Audience Analysis Target Markets Understanding our audience is the second step, following research, to determining the messages that the One Road campaign needs to send. Identifying target markets will also help formulate appropriate objectives. The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 10
Motorist Profiles Couple without Kids Unwanted Scenario Ray and Marlene are in their 40s and have no children because they are both heavily focused on their careers. They work too much and are always booked solid without a lot of free time. They both drive across town to get to their places of work and have to encounter lots of cyclists, whom they see as annoyances. Always in a rush, they usually blow past cyclists and honk at them in order to try to get to their destination more quickly. Bicyclists, scooters, and jaywalkers are their biggest annoyances when driving. Both of them agree that cars are the only vehicles that should be on the road and try to prove their point by tailgating and being overly aggressive.
Elderly Female Unwanted Scenario Matilda is a spry 86-year-old widow who lives alone in a Jacksonville suburb and drives an Oldsmobile sedan that she gets detailed twice a month. She spends most of her time watching TV at home but must drive to do errands such as grocery shopping and going to the doctors office. Her non-verbalized philosophy is that roads are for cars, and she often is slow to notice obstacles such as traffic cones, pedestrians, and cyclists. She frequently completes unsafe maneuvers when driving, making her driving unpredictable and unsafe for others on the road. Her slowing response time also has the potential to cause accidents. Audience Analysis Audience Profiles This section on audience profiles is designed to give the organization a look at what their typical audience might be like by way of attitudes, values, lifestyles, and behaviors. Each of these descriptions and the ones on the following page is fictional and designed to present various scenarios to the client in order to help them understand their audience as much as possible. 11 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Audience Analysis Audience Profiles Cyclist Profiles Family with Kids Ideal Scenario Bill and Jenna have three children and reside in the beaches area of Jacksonville. Bill works as an insurance salesman and Jenna stays at home. Bill used to compete in bike races but doesnt have the time anymore. They all enjoy biking together and often will go on easy trails on Saturday mornings. Bill teaches his children proper bike safety every time they go out, demonstrating proper safety practices when they ride, even on trails. It is important to both Bill and Jenna that their kids stay as safe as possible and know that children learn by example. They are both forgiving drivers when around cyclists on the road when going to work or running errands since Bill is a cyclist and has been hit by a driver before. As a family, they believe in the importance of safety when cycling as well as respecting cyclists they encounter on the road.
Single Female Unwanted Scenario Kendra is a graduate student living a few miles from the University of North Florida, where she is getting her masters degree in secondary education. She lives with a classmate in an apartment and owns a bicycle, which she sometimes rides to the store on nice days. She usually only rides it to the shopping center nearest her apartment complex because she is fearful of the drivers who do not pay attention to her riding. She likes biking to the shopping center because she can stay on sidewalks the whole way. Kendras roommate wishes she wouldnt bike at all because she doesnt think its safe, but Kendra enjoys the exercise too much and so just tries to stay away from drivers when she is out. She doesnt mind riding on sidewalks but wishes the road could be safer for her to bike on.
Single Male Unwanted Scenario Johann is a single male living and working in downtown Jacksonville. He does not feel the need to drive a car since he lives so close to work and would other- wise be stuck in traffic a lot. He often arrives early to work and stays late and so has to ride in the dark. He does use a light on his bicycle but usually forgets to wear light-colored and reflective clothing when hell be riding in the dark since he does not plan ahead. He hates wearing his helmet even though he owns one because he is particular about his hair style. He often cuts corners with safety, buzzing too close to cars or riding on sidewalks when they are ridden with pedestrians. He doesnt think he needs to stop at stop signs or follow other rules of the road because he thinks he can adequately assess the situation and make good decisions for himself. Johann does not get angry at drivers but is selfish when it comes to rushing to work and cycling at night without the proper safety measures. The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 12

They are broken down by target audience in order to be more easily understood. 13 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Strategies and Tactics Inform motorists of the laws regarding cyclists and motorists in Duval County using mass media Use radio PSAs during drive times to inform motorists of relevant motorist/cyclist laws Use magazine and newspaper ads in Duval County to communicate important motorist/cyclist laws Create a billboard advertisement in highly populated areas to humanize cyclists Persuade drivers to place an importance on the safety of cyclists Produce and post a video on social media that goes viral to demonstrate, through humor, the impact of unsafe driving around cyclists Produce a PSA for television that humanizes bicyclists that appeals to their emotion in order to encourage safe driving Place posters promoting mutual respect between cyclists and motorists in various businesses and establishments Use community events to raise awareness of the One Road campaign Host a kickoff event on Saturday January 18th, 2014 to launch the campaign
Strategies/Tactics Audience 1 Motorists According to our research, the One Road campaign should spread awareness and share knowledge that lead to actions on the parts of motorists. The objectives for motorists were created to see those results. This list of strategies is to help accomplish the objectives. Tactics support each strategy and are direct and specific ways to carry out the strategies. Recall the motorist objectives: To increase the number of Duval County drivers who know cyclist/driver laws To change the beliefs among Duval County drivers that following cyclist/motorist laws are in their best interest To change the behavior of motorists in Duval County by following the cyclist/motorist laws Other possible tactics for motorists: Promote awareness at local car dealerships or car meet-ups Place cyclist safety brochures or flyers in local bike shops and DMV Partner with a taxi company who could promote the campaign The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 14
Strategies and Tactics Persuade cyclists that following the law is beneficial to them through social media campaigns Create a Facebook page with bike laws, pledge sheets, and conversation starters to increase the awareness of the problem Create a video that could go viral to engage cyclists with humor and encourage them to use cyclist safety Create a Twitter handle that will be used to post weekly cyclist safety tips and techniques Change unsafe riding habits of cyclists by developing visuals to distribute in various Duval County businesses and establishments Create water bottles, t-shirts, and stickers to distribute at the events Place posters encouraging safe cycling in schools, daycare facilities, parks, and bike shops
Inform cyclists of the benefits of following cyclist rules using mass media Create a PSA for TV that clearly demonstrates the issues of riding unsafely Produce and post on social media a video that goes viral to remind cyclists of the importance of safety Create flyers to distribute in cyclist shops and around the area
Strategies/Tactics Audience 2 Cyclists Recall the cyclist objectives: To change cyclists beliefs that following cyclist laws are in their best interest To change behaviors in following the rules of the road According to our research, the One Road campaign should persuade cyclists and ultimately change their behavior. The cyclist objectives support those ideas, and these strategies and tactics will help meet them in more specific ways. Other tactics for cyclists could include: Apply for grants that could fund campaign or elements of it Partner with schools or childcare facilities to reinstate bicycling safety programs Join forces with other bicycling clubs or safety organizations to expand breadth Organize safety demonstrations on local school campuses or to parenting groups
15 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Strategies/Tactics Audience 3 Jacksonville Sheriffs Office Strategies and Tactics Persuade Jacksonville Sheriffs Office Deputies that their enforcement of cyclist/motorist laws can make a difference Present PSAs that show the impact of cyclists and motorists disobeying the law Inform Jacksonville Sheriffs Office of laws concerning cyclists and cyclist/motorist interaction Create informational posters and brochures containing the laws Make presentations to local law enforcement officers that communicate the importance of cyclists feeling safe on the road The Jacksonville Sheriffs Office is an important ally in the One Road safety campaign. Their authority within Duval County and their ability to enforce laws with both cyclists and motorists can greatly affect the outcome. There are still messages to be communicated to them, even though they may not be our primary message recipients.
Recall the JSO objective: Increase the knowledge of the Duval County law enforcement in regards to both motorist and cyclist laws Additional suggestions: The JSO could be partnered with for more extensive campaigning on cyclist safety and cyclist/motorist laws. Instituting safety demonstrations or lectures in the community could best be accomplished under the JSOs umbrella, adding their credibility to NFBC efforts.

Media Objectives
Create brand awareness of One Road Safety Campaign Cover both primary target markets through different media platforms Place outdoor advertisements in high traffic areas to reach our target audience and increase frequency of message exposure Create a thorough media plan, budget, and event plan using various scheduling strategies such as continuous, flighting, and pulsing
The media utilized will include:
Billboards and OOH advertising Magazines Newspapers (print and online) Social media Internet/websites Television (local and national) Radio (local) Promotional events
These different media channels prove to be most beneficial for our demographics and the geographic size of Duval County. Since this county is so large, widespread coverage would ensure exposure to motorists and cyclists. The majority of the budget will be spent on out of home advertising, especially billboards, because they are a cost-effective way of exposing a large number of Duval County residents to our messages at a high frequency.
The various media outlets were chosen to best reach our target audiences and expose them to a high number of messages. Each of the media will create an impression on the target markets and aim to create synergy between motorists and cyclists of Duval County.
Media Analysis The media analysis helps bring together the objectives of our campaign, what we know of our audience, and the creative elements. Included in the analysis are reasons for why each medium was selected, based upon our research. Each media category is described with relevant demographic, and reach information is included for some of the selected media. 17 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Media Analysis Outdoor Advertising
Out of home advertising will best reach the 18-64 demographic and increase the frequency of exposure to our campaign messages. Outdoor advertisements such as billboards and dioramas are often seen on a recurring basis. Placement for an extended period of time will allow us to reach a variety of our target audience members in our wide age range. The repeated exposure will help the One Road campaign become recognizable in our geographic area. Studies show that most consumers are reached while in their car when they have been exposed to multiple outdoor advertisements, so these advertisements will increase our chances of reaching more relevant audiences and having an impact on them.
Billboards
Billboards will reach motorists 18-64 and may be seen by some cyclists as well. These are sample locations that were chosen to capture the attention of drivers in various parts of Duval County. The use of mall dioramas, digital billboards, and traditional bulletins in various locations will increase our chances of reaching drivers commuting to and from work, on daily errands, and while traveling.
Lamar Billboard Sample Specifications I-295, south of Pritchard Rd: 201,793 viewers weekly 10.7 x 35.7 Facing south, on left of road Atlantic Blvd: 130,573 viewers weekly 10.6 x 36 Facing west, on left of road Phillips Hwy (3312 Phillips Hwy): 58,103 viewers weekly 10.7 x 35.7 Facing south, on left of road Arlington Rd: 89,940 viewers weekly 10.6 x 36 Facing east, on left of road
The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 18
Magazines The target audience we intend to reach with magazine ads is motorists and cyclists alike, ages 18- 64. We chose these publications because their readership suits the mass marketing approach being used for motorists.
Folio Weekly Target audience: cyclists and motorists 33-64 and 65+ Main readership: 44,200 weekly Largest age demographic: 55+ Second largest age demographic: 45-54 Average readership household income: $65,069
Buzz Magazine (online) Target audience: cyclists and motorists 18-54 Main readership: 60,000 monthly Largest age demographic: 21-54 Average readership household income: $44,173
Newspaper Newspapers are seen as one of the best way to reach the 65+ demographic. Because of this, utilizing advertising space in local papers will reach motorists in this target submarket of our campaign.
Jacksonville Times-Union Target audience: motorists 65+ Largest age demographic: 50+ Sunday Readership: 214,572 Daily readership : 155,590 Media Analysis 19 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
Media Analysis Television Television advertising will help reach the 65+ age range, most of which will be motorists. Motorists aged 18-64 will also be targeted. The following channels are networks or network affiliate stations which would accomplish the biggest reach for our target audiences, specifically for those 65+.
FOX (WAWS) Largest viewership: 25-44+ Second largest viewership: under 18 Average viewership household income: $35,000-$50,000 Reaches 659,170 homes
The Weather Channel Largest viewership: 55+ Second largest viewership: 35-54 Average viewership household income: 75,000 Monthly reach: 90,986
CBS Largest viewership: 18-49, 25-54 Average viewership household income: $50,000 Reaches 659,170 homes
Radio Radio is an important medium that provides cheap airtime combined with a wide reach. Running PSAs on several stations would guarantee more exposure of our campaign messages. Utilizing radio would benefit our campaign because motorists often listen to the radio while driving: a perfect time to remind them to drive safely around bicyclists they may encounter. Most radio listeners are in the 18-64 age range and using a variety of stations would provide more specific demographic variance. A few local Duval County stations are:
WJCT 89.9 WNWW 97.9 WSOL 101.5 JackFM 107.3 The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 20
Social Media The goal of social media is to create a personalized feel and message for our target audiences. We want to engage in their conversations, gather their feedback, and encourage them to participate in our campaign. This will be done through the usage of: Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Implementation Facebook: Post daily encouraging audiences to support our cause, educate them with daily facts and statistics, and provide information about upcoming events and races Have weekly One Road photo contests of cyclists displaying conscientious behavior and safety gear Encourage participants to post any photos from One Road events and races
Twitter: Tweets about campaign progress, breakthroughs with laws/local government and law enforcement, track reduction in motorist/cyclist accidents Tweet photos from any NFBC One Road Campaign events Tweet weekly safety tips and facts for both target markets (cyclists and motorists)
Media Analysis Instagram: This platform will be used to display pictures from everyday motorists and cyclists on their commute, recreationally driving or riding and NFBC One Road events Post daily encouraging audiences to support our cause, educate them with daily facts and statistics, and provide information about events and races Have weekly One Road photo contests of cyclists displaying conscientious behavior and safety gear
YouTube: Primarily a channel to spread viral videos and PSAs, YouTube will be utilized to engage our audiences through videos Cross-promote YouTube content on Facebook to get people to view and share videos
Why Social Media? These social media interactions are valuable because they will allow the NFBC to continue to tailor their One Road safety campaign. As we build relationships with our consumers via social media we also give them a chance to engage with us and provide suggestions, questions, or concerns. This social media plan shows how we intend to engage with our audiences through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. 21 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency

Media Analysis Social Media Accounts In order to make managing social media accounts easier, The Lions Agency has created a free Gmail account for the One Road campaign. It was used to create accounts for the following social media platforms:
Facebook page One Road facebook.com/oneroadjax Twitter handle OneRoadJax twitter.com/oneroadjax Instagram account One Road Jax instagram.com/oneroadjax YouTube channel One Road youtube.com/user/oneroadjax
The credentials for all of these platforms, in addition to the Gmail email account itself, are as follows:
In order to better track the progress of these accounts, we also set up a HootSuite account. HootSuite is a social media monitoring website that allows various social media accounts to be managed on one platform. It allows scheduled posts and also tracks the click-throughs and audience reach. It is a great tool to use for evaluation and to track the progress of the campaign, while making it easier on whoever manages the One Road social media. The One Road Twitter account is connected to the HootSuite account presently. HootSuites login credentials are the same as stated above.
It is recommended that the passwords for the above platforms are changed to be more secure and different from each other. The current password was created as a placeholder only.
Please note: the Facebook page needs to be handed over to an administrator from the NFBC in order to become under the clients control. If the NFBC or an administrator likes the One Road page, then the current administrator can give the user permissions to become a page manager, which then will transfer the page to NFBC control. Once this occurs, the Facebook page can also be added to the HootSuite account for easier account management. 23 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency

Media Budget The media budget totals up the cost for ad placements in various media (print and digital) and gives a realistic idea of how much the campaign will cost to promote. There are, however, opportunities for the NFBC to get time slots donated by some of the outlets or to get placement sponsored by another organization. This chart shows the outlets that have gotten back to our agency with pricing and gives an optimal media budgeting total if all the placements were to be purchased.
Please note: We were unable to get accurate price quotes for airing 30-second spots on television network affiliates. Therefore, television PSAs are not accounted for in the media budget or in the overall budgets (presented later).

How will it look? Blue and gold/yellow theme with possible reflective elements Sans-Sarif fonts because they are easy to read Cursive fonts repeatedly used for the tag line to match the logo All deliverables use the NFBC logo in addition to the One Road logo The logo is a single road with a car and bike sharing it; the wheel of the bike creates the O in One
Why are we here? To promote a cyclist safety campaign in order to decrease the amount of bike/car accidents in Duval County.
Who are we talking to? Bicyclists and motorists in Duval County Participants of rides through the NFBC Ages 5-65+
Company Background/Overview The North Florida Bicycle Club is open to everyone; meeting the third Tuesday of every month, excluding scheduled rides.
Goal/Objective To reduce the number of accidents between cyclists and motorists in Duval County within the span of two years. Make the campaign stand out unlike previous safety campaigns
Key Issue/Current State Duval County is rated highest in bike/motorist accidents in the United States Attitudes towards bicyclists on the road are negative Bicyclists are not following traffic laws
Desired State/Behavior Decrease accidents between cyclists and motorists Change motorists attitude towards cyclists Change cyclists behavior when following laws Gain awareness of the importance of following the laws
What makes this believable? Showing the dangers of not following the laws through statistics will increase the believability of our messages.

What do we need to keep in mind? Other campaigns have run without successfully changing behaviors on the road.
Reason Why: The Support? Decreasing accidents directly decreases fatalities.
Key Message The big idea: One Road Both cyclists and motorists have a right to the road and should be mutually respected Cyclists and motorists coexisting
Tone Graphically, blue is seen as warm and happy Positive in order to encourage safety instead of discourage unsafe practices Reflective colors mean safety

Creative Samples Website A good website will be crucial to the success of this campaign. Most, if not all, of the creatives should direct our audience to this site, which would best be a landing page on the NFBC site. It should be visually pleasing, have the same color scheme as the campaign, utilize the One Road and NFBC logos, and include information about cyclist safety as it relates to the campaign. Motorists and cyclists alike will be directed to this website in order to get more information, most of whom will be seeking information on the cyclist/motorist laws. It should include complete laws pertaining to cyclists and motorists and safety tips for cyclists as well. Ideally, an events tab would include information on upcoming events and provide a way for viewers to register for the rides. Having a section for merchandise could be a way to sell promotional material or promote safety gear from sponsors or partners. Our suggested URL would be www.nfbc.us/oneroad because it would be easy for our audience to remember. The Lions Agency | NFBC One Road Campaign 38

Evaluation Evaluation must be a part of every campaign in order to measure its success. Without a plan for evaluating the campaign, there will be no way of telling how much impact it had on the target markets.
In order to accurately evaluate the outcome, there are two different aspects that must be considered: communication and action. Communication evaluation involves the metric analysis and the action method evaluates the impact and whether or not the goal and objectives have been met. Both are just as critical to measure success, as sometimes one without the other will skew the results.
First, take a look at the research, both primary and secondary. Use the current research as a benchmark to compare to the research after the end of the campaign. If there is indeed a reduction in accidents, then that is one way to help determine if the campaign was a success. However, these statistics alone cannot tell why there was a reduction in accidents, despite that appearing to be the attainment of the campaign goal.
Second, look at the numbers. The communication parts of the campaign will give you metrics numbers to help evaluate how successful the campaign might have been. What kind of reach did the campaign have? How many drivers saw the billboards and how many people like the campaigns Facebook page are communication measurements.
Third, look at the actions: the results. Ask questions in addition to has the number of accidents gone down? Do more motorists have knowledge of cyclist/motorist laws? Have attitudes of motorists changed? Do more cyclists follow traffic laws and take safety precautions? Evaluating the whys could mean the difference between a successful campaign through your companys efforts and an achieved goal that was due to other factors.
Tools can help in the evaluation process immensely and can help during the campaign to make evaluating easier at the end. Tracking progress can be a large part of evaluation. Social media tools like Google Analytics, SocialMention, TweetReach, and HootSuite are made for measuring reach and impact online. Using rate cards for publications and the demographic information that television and radio stations provide can give insight to the reach that PSAs had in the community. There are always surveys and focus groups as well, which are tangible and personal ways of reading changes in attitudes or a rise in awareness of the problem. Re-administering the survey that was used at the beginning of the campaign may be a great way of measuring success. 47 NFBC One Road Campaign | The Lions Agency
