Winning campaigns in the new
communications landscape
21 May 2014
Picture by Flickr user Adam Wilson
“Charity campaigns are
no longer just dreamed
up in meeting rooms and
pushed out to the waiting
general public.
“They can just happen,
brought into existence by
the audiences themselves
in an amazingly exciting
way.”
- Chris Cox, Mind UK

#nomakeupselfie
Potted history
- hashtag first used as early as September 2012
- the activity appears to have been sparked in
the US with crime writer Laura Lipmann,
responding with a selfie in support of 81-year-
old Kim Novak, who attracted criticism for her
appearance at the Oscars. #itssokimnovak
- this was picked up by others writers and
spread in solidarity with Kim Novak -
#nomakeupselfie adopted
- cancer awareness connection seems to have
been sparked by in the UK by 18-year-old
student and mother Fiona Cunningham
- notions of tagging friends and daring them to
do the same, and donation ask was added by
early-adopters
- Cancer Research UK picked up the trend - and
added their text-to-donate call to action just as it
was really picking up.
- over £8million raised for Cancer Research UK
- but over 200 charities benefited to some
degree
- trend reached as far as Australia where tens of
thousands of dollars were raised.
- the explosive phase of the ‘campaign’ lasted
just a couple of weeks
[asides]
- around £18K was pledged to UNICEF after a
mix-up with text giving
- WWF also received polar bear adoptions when
phones autocorrected BEAT to BEAR.

-Forced major UK retailers into
embarrassing apologies and
withdrawal from sale

of ‘coming out’ stories on Twitter
which may have lasting impact on
stigma in UK

Potted history
- Autumn 2013 - UK supermarket ASDA stocks
scary outfits for Halloween, marketed as mental
patient costumes
- Outrage starts, surfacing on social media
- Rethink Mental Illness & Mind are asked
questions - start talking to supermarkets
- #mentalpatient selfie meme is started by a
member of the public, mental health charities
get involved and amplify message, thousands
get involved, it trends on Twitter
- Supermarkets withdraw costumes, apologise
and donate
- Feeling that a ‘tipping point’ may have been
reached in public discourse of mental health
issues
What can we learn?

“What we at Rethink Mental Illness are doing on
social media is holding a conversation.
“We’re chatting with some of the most highly-
qualified people in the whole of the mental health
world – our ‘experts by experience’.”

The moment of truth may not be

“Late on Tuesday evening, momentum was growing
and people were starting to ask whether the
campaign was ours. We tweeted to explain that it
wasn’t, but that we loved the sentiment and that
people could get involved in our work to beat cancer
sooner by visiting our website.  
“If we didn’t have an out of hours system in
place, we wouldn’t have been able to see this
coming and respond as quickly as we did.”

“From a charity point of
view, you have to act fast
to take advantage of a
campaign like this.
“[It] requires a culture of
experimentation and
adventure, where
permission to try things out
(like quickly lending your
name to a campaign like
this) is already given from
senior management...
“Everything hinges on
an adventurous
culture”
