Client Need/ Objective |
Though a recognized cultural brand, Client identified a need for a more strategic PR communication in order to maximise the opportunities the carnival brings. |
CRN Insight/ Innovation |
Play-up Port Harcourt`s centenary anniversary to highlight the city`s rich heritage. Beginning from the Flag-off Media Conference, CRN facilitated the coverage of the eight-day CARNIRIV, and some of the activities made Front Pages in leading national newspapers including The Punch. |
CRN Response/ Deliverables |
To deliver on the campaign objective and ensure clear messaging, CRN use a multilayer story mining approach to react each key target segment with a specific message: Business, Tourism, Social Security, Economy. The 2012 edition of the carnival achieved the highest level of mobilisation since its inception. |
Achievements |
This resulted in a boost in local businesses during and even after the carnival. The increased Sov of the CARNIRIV brand also attracted more sponsorship from corporate organisations. |
Testimonial
PR SPARC advocacy conference in Nigeria.
I just want to let you know that I received the Media Monitoring booklet this week, and my entire team and organisation loved it! We were very impressed with the personalised booklet we received as it was above and beyond what we had expected (we especially loved the cover!). We really appreciate all of the help that you and your team provided to make the SPARC Forum a great success.
So thanks again for all of your support; we will be sure to keep in touch if we have any other PR needs the next time we are in Nigeria.
Kind regards.
