Executive Summary
The IMC Campaigns Capstone class has been challenged to raise money for UNICEF. My goal was to fundraise $1,500
for refugee children. Aside from raising money, the purpose of this challenge was to create a successful IMC campaign
utilizing our acquired marketing skills. This included figuring out key problems and insights through researching our
category, our consumers, our brand, and its competitors. I discovered that what keeps people from donating is lack of
trust, knowledge, and or personal connection. So, I created a campaign that would familiarize our target of nurturers
and millennials with the importance of UNICEF.

With the toxicity that exists among social media, it is easy to lose sight of the more substantial issues going on in the
world. Kids are struggling to survive off of minimal food, education, and housing yet some of our biggest concerns
involve an Instagram post not getting as many likes as we had hoped for. That is how #SeeMeHelpMe came to be. The
attempt was to take something relatable like social media and intertwining it with the significance of helping those
without a voice; those who would otherwise go unseen.

Subject: You can like the post, or you can make the change

(Name),

All over social media you see posts that say “1 like = 1 prayer” and while that is thoughtful, it takes more than a like or a prayer
to help someone in need. There are children around the world who don’t live to experience a childhood because they are dying
from preventable causes. These children are the future, and they shouldn’t have to be instagram famous for people to see that.

Consider donating to UNICEF to contribute to the safety and happiness of children all over, as well as encourage a positive f uture
in general.

*100% of the money donated using this link goes to kids in need*

Westmont, IL will be donating 15% of their earnings to UNICEF. Take the opportunity to have a fun Saturday night, without the
feeling of regret when you wake up. Have a drink, make a difference.

If you can’t make it but still want to help, donate using our link...
