Before we get started, I’d like first to give you a quick introduction to the NSM Centre itself. The NSM Centre is a strategic partnership between the Government (Department of Health) and the National Consumer Council in England. The partnership was first established in 2005 to undertake an independent review of health-related campaigns and social marketing across Government This found strong evidence that social marketing can and does work, but that support was needed to build skills and capacity in the field across Britain. In the ‘Choosing Health’ Public Health White Paper, and in the NCC report ‘It’s our health!’ (June 2006) recommended founding a National Social Marketing Centre to address this need. The Centre was officially opened in December 2006, and has 6 core work programmes. Currently it’s main funding comes from the Department of Health. It therefore has a particular focus on working with people to improve the impact of health-related interventions. Part of this work involves developing commissioning expertise. Developing commissioning guide for DH – will be available – WHEN?
Moving away from an expert knows best model, where its only at the implementation stage that public wants and needs are considered to a public driven model
Where we start by listening to the public/consumer and what there needs and wants are – As Gordon Brown said when he took over as prime minister.
And we know why information giving has been the default option Pressure to be seen to be acting Desire to help Poorly developed skills and understanding in population behaviour Short term policy planning budegting, review and targets Why so much is spent above the line

Boring – not going to have another pint coz I’ve had my 5 units for the day Difficult – give up smoking Lonely – I’m the only one worried about turning off the lights in the office to save electricity
Put another way marketers offer short term benefits – enjoyment now – cake with your coffee every morning with longer term costs – eg obesity We offer opposite longer term benefits – may be healthier in 20 years time with short term costs – can’t have that cake with coffee How do we change that
So we turn longer term benefits into more immediate benefits and reduce the short term costs
Like commercial marketing, social marketing starts with the customer first. Do you just focus on the one problem area or do you focus on understanding theie life as a whole and how that problem area fits with the rest of their life It looks at the ‘customer in the round’ – focuses on understanding their lives as a whole and in all aspects, rather than JUST considering one particular ‘problem area’ Involves RESEARCH – focus groups, qualitative and quantitative data collection, stakeholder engagement. Not just collection of data for its own sake. Mass of information exists. Some in private sector Through a real knowledge of the customer, social marketing can then deliver interventions that respond to individuals’ actual needs, circumstances or ambitions.
The emphasis is on gaining insight into what moves and motivates the customer its not just about collecting data Aim = to identify key factors that influence a particular behaviour. = to understand WHY people behave in the way that they do (what they think, feel, believe) Need to understand data and then generate the insight
Advertisers use it! so should we. What moves people? Why do they act as they do? How can we use that insight to generate change? e.g. if children won’t take school meals because they aren’t ‘cool’ – what can we do to use that insight and make it into action? School food clubs, make food fun, cooking lessons, parents involved, food fun days… If men aren’t using stop smoking services because there’s a ‘women’s hour’ feel to them – what can we do? Dad’s clubs, men sessions, blokey campaigns… If people aren’t attending for breast screening because it’s inconvenient to get to the hospital – how can we overcome that? Screening services in supermarket carparks, easier appointment system etc etc. Understand what motivates people and use that understanding
i.e. identifying distinct sub-groups within the more general population. … the process of subdividing a market into distinct subsets of customers that behave in the same way or have similar needs. Ideally, each consumer should be treated differently and made a unique offering. This isn’t practical, so consumers are grouped according to similarity of needs/desires… Remember – hedonist exercise at start of presentation – crude example of segmentaion
Also have examples of segmentation – heard of – quick quiz to see if you know them
Almost need to think about segmentation before you start which sub groups will you be focussing on – Also need to be flexible might have to change focus if research dictates Eg Chlamydia demonstration site - focus on teenage girls screening but research showed GPs not offering service
Who is your competition? Never get a commercial company ignoring competition – can we We see so many messages everyday – health ones as well as commercial ones – how do we compete – particularly with commercial organisations – budgets, firepower we can’t – should we – can we work in partnership? Eg MTV breakfast club – Food Dudes and Aldis – in particular the research and customer understanding Internal competition – tyranny of small decisions – yes go to the gym – how many going to the gym after the conference? How may actually go as tired after today – work to do family to see! Also have to face fear of failure self- belief
Who’s the competition and what are they offering?? fun/pleasure/enjoyment/taste/ affordability/speed/convenience How can we compete with this? Make our interventions as fun and popular as possible… Spotting the competition? Often seen in simplistic terms: ‘the goodies’ ‘the baddies’ Internal competition – tyranny of small decisions – yes go to the gym – how many going to the gym after the conference? How may actually go as tired after today – work to do family to see! Also have to face fear of failure self- belief what are the factors influencing individual behaviour and how can we address them?

Often offering long term, delayed benefits, in exchange for immediate costs – effort, discomfort, change of habit/ routine, cost… Easy to see the exchange in a commercial sector – 40p for a Mars Bar – there’s the cost here is the benefit How do we make it clear easy, fun and popular How do we reduce the barriers and increase the incentives
Mammogram = fear of finding cancer, painful pressure, wait time, finding a parking place, going to the hospital, cold metal surfaces, having to wait a week for the results Increase benefits = Heat mental surfaces, reduce wait time, provide valet parking, etc. So, Consider the completion Can you decrease your costs relative to the completion? Can you increase monetary or nonmonetary benefits?

The results of this type of integrated approach can be seen in the impact on smoking prevalence. - Since the late 1970s, smoking prevalence rates have fallen 16 percentage points; we are expecting to meet our PSA in 2010; and there are now more ex-smokers in England than smokers. We also know that iconic advertising – such as this example, funded by DH but delivered through the British Heart Foundation – has had a major impact – 50% of quits last year were prompted by advertising. So, why the need for a change of strategy?
The other thing we need to do was find out more about the lives of people in this group. So we conducted a large piece of observational research, in their homes and workplaces. Some of our key conclusions: Smoking fulfils every possible need from reward to stress relief Benefits of smoking outweigh negatives Smokers have negative image of non-smoker/ex-smoker Provides them with a sense of belonging within their social circle/community – in this context smoking is almost endorsed R&M smokers want to quit, but find it harder to quit successfully for many reasons (e.g. access to cheap tobacco, routine lives, no culture of quitting) Most have previously tried to ‘quit’. In fact, they are as likely to try to quit as the general population. Lack of support from partner/peers and emotional stress are major downfalls
So, to summarise what has changed in the new approach: A new target audiences A new set of insights A new focus on triggering action and making quitting easier A broader range of levers – including community activation rather than simply broadcast advertising And clear performance indicators derived from the lead generation model. And if that’s the science of marketing, the art is how do we bring this to life. In this case, it involves huge cigarettes with people on top, being rescued by cranes. The new campaign broke on Boxing Day and will run until the end of March. The early results show: Valid calls running at approximately twice target We have already achieved 75% of the three-month target And I will hand over to Peter.
