How a campaign comes to life
Our rigorous, research-based approach produces powerful campaigns that make a measurable difference in people’s lives. We do this through six key steps:
-
Review
- We perform a comprehensive literature review of all relevant research and prior communications programs before assessing the current landscape.
-
Question
- We interview top issue experts and utilize social listening tools to gather key insights on the cultural conversation and audience sentiment across all relevant platforms.
-
Listen
- We conduct custom qualitative research with our target audience to build actionable insights.
-
Test
- We use surveys to test initial hypotheses and messaging approaches and gather channel-specific insights from media planning tools.
-
Refine
- We use agile learning tools, UI/UX testing and rapid testing to gain immediate feedback, ensuring our message is optimized for our target audience.
-
Engage
- Our goal, always, is to reach the right audience at the right time with the right message that will empower people to create lasting change.
How We Measure Impact
Once the campaign has launched, our work has just begun. We focus on four key metrics to gauge what’s working and identify opportunities to increase awareness and engagement.
Exposure
We use the latest cutting-edge tools to track all donated media support, placement, impressions, and coverage to closely monitor our reach.
Awareness
We utilize a continuous tracking instrument that provides us with a steady read-out on awareness, attitudes and behaviors—and we also conduct point-in-time tracking surveys.
Engagement
We track engagement across campaign websites, social media platforms, and other digital properties.
Impact
We measure attitudinal and behavioral shifts among the campaigns target audience—and we monitor external data trends in research conducted by government agencies and other nonprofits.
Case Studies

This iconic campaign has unified the nation, proving there's an appetite for content that brings us together. For one activation, the team at R/GA worked with us to transform the traditional sports stadium kiss cam to the “Fans of Love” cam, we showcased love in all its forms: friends, families, and relationships across race, age, religion, sexual orientation, and ability.
