Agenda

Who are we? This project represents a partnership between WPP, Landor, TIE and Melhor to support NGOs and community based initiatives in Brazil. This partnership, organized by TIE, pairs communications professionals with NGOs and local advertising agencies in growth markets to effect social change. Development organizations are largely unable to afford communications support despite it being critical to their efforts to raise money and awareness of important issues.

In this case the focus is on Centro Escola Mangue, an NGO based in Brasilia Teimosa that promotes the sustainability of the mangroves in Recife through education and engagement.

The Team

•  Citizenship and social responsibility are important platforms for business and most effective when they link to the business strategy and the brand itself:

Importance of Social Responsibility

•  People don’t just want to buy something, they want to buy into something

•  Access to information has never been easier, the dissemination of criticism never faster, the sophistication of the consumer never greater

•  Good reputations take years to build and can be destroyed with the click of a mouse

•  Governments, NGOs and charities can’t do it all. Corporations are expected to pitch in and act as stewards for our shared planet

•  Social responsibility today is not philanthropy or charity, nor is it just about image: creating a social good and creating a business good can be the same thing

What is this important today?

“We totally connect social responsibility to our business strategy” Stanley Litow, VP of Corporate Citizenship, IBM

“This is not doing good to do good. It’s integrated into the business – engaging technology, people and partnership” Caroline Barlerin, Director of Global Social Innovation, HP

CEM is a non-profit entity that develops environmental and educational activities focused on the preservation of the mangroves in Recife. They have worked in the local community since 2003. Today CEM has sponsorship from the Petrobras Environmental Program to develop projects in schools from four different areas of Pernambuco. They are looking to further develop their partnerships to promote the work they do among a broader audience in Recife.

About Centro Escola Mangue

•  Raise awareness among middle class influencers about the importance of mangroves and the work Centro Escola Mangue is doing in Brasilia Teimosa to support the cause and educate the local community.

•  Create opportunities for CEM to partner with companies and organizations that share their values and who are looking to build their own social responsibility platform.

•  Show that the mangroves are amazing.

What is the problem?

We are looking to build awareness of CEM among a broader audience

But our audience doesn’t think about mangroves

Strategy

•  Insight: target audience is blind to the mangroves and the role they play in their life (physical presence in Recife, natural ecosystem for food, natural habitat for animals, beautiful part of scenery, name of music Mangue Beats, name of street Via Mangue)

Insight

Other examples of this phenomenon Joshua Bell

Other examples of this phenomenon Street Children in Sao Paulo

•  Engage our target audience with a big idea, connect with them emotionally, open their eyes to what the mangroves are and the role they play

•  We donʼt want to focus on the negatives associated with the mangroves such as how they are being destroyed and polluted, but rather we want to focus on the positive role they play. We think our target audience will respond well to this

•  Need to create a value exchange. People will only share information and content about the mangroves if they like it in some way – if it makes them laugh, if it makes them look cool etc

Strategy for CEM Campaign

"Mangroves are the hidden treasures of Recife” – Other jewels include frevo, maracatu, carnival, parks, poetry, rich culture, monuments, churches.– Mangroves are the jewels that nobody sees.
