HP ran a Global Citizen campaign from September to December 2018 in South Africa to highlight its partnership with Global Citizen and commitment to sustainability. The multi-channel campaign included digital activations on News24 and social media, in-store activations at HP stores and retail partners, mall activations, corporate activations, and a presence at the Mandela 100 Global Citizen Festival. The campaign focused on HP's three pillars of sustainable impact: planet, people, and community. Key results included over 17 million Facebook impressions, hundreds of pledges and engagements across activations, and HP's onstage commitment at the Global Citizen Festival.

11. “HP Change
Makers
“I’m so grateful for the HP
Probook and Office Jet Print
Scanner I received from HP for
being a change maker in the
Global Citizen campaign. The
technology I received plays a
huge role when it comes to
documenting agendas and
communicating with people,
especially since I have received
features in publications such as
Business Insider and lots of social
media and website traction.”
– Reabetswe Ngwane, Director at
Kreamfields and HP Global Citizen
Changemaker
“This campaign has recognised my
project and the work that I do to in
my community and surroundings.
Because of Global Citizen. I
have received many invites
from organisations including
seminars to present about the
LGBT community and Khulani
Khayelitsha in general. I am so
excited and proud that HP saw my
potential and recognised the work
we are doing in the marginalised
communities.”
– Sibusiso Daniel, Co-Founder of
Khulani Khayelitsha Queer Hub and
HP Global Citizen Changemaker
Thanks to the video clip of my
cause posted on HP’s social
media, we were able to attract
donors/sponsors including
partners for future events.
Some people made donations
to the organisation via money
and school shoes for the less
fortunate learners in the schools
we have adopted, whereas
others donated sanitary towels.
We were also able to assist
one of our university students
who is currently completing his
thesis at the University of Venda
who did not have funds for
accommodation.”
– Vhahangwele Munyai, Founder at
Mbeu Community Development and
HP Global Citizen Changemaker

14. Digital Insights
Target audience was mainly South African millennials who hold secondary and/or tertiary qualifications. We managed to reach
this audience with exceptional results. Majority of people who engaged with the content were males between the age 18 -24
The HP impressions target was 1 697 400 impressions for Facebook and 332 336 impressions for Twitter.
We managed to exceed our target for Facebook tenfold with 17.45m impressions.
Twitter however, had 259 027 impressions but added to the News24 and Chan24 stats, we achieved approx. 310 000
impressions.
This was not a product/service campaign, which made it nearly impossible to benchmark it to previous HP
campaigns. Sustainable impact is an unpopular social media topic that is low on engagement. The Campaign managed to get
our audience to support and engage on HP’s three pillars of sustainability.
We have now created a massive platform/audience that we can engage with for future sustainable campaigns such as HP
Life. Most importantly, we educated South Africa on the importance of sustainable impact and ignited the goodwill of Global
Citizens.

30. “HP Employee
Engagement
In order to drive the HP Global
Citizen campaign we started
internally by launching the
campaign and engaging with
HP Employees through a series
of eDM communication and a
dedicated action day.
The Action Day took place on
16 November 2019 , where
employees where first addressed
by Global Citizen to better
understand the HP partnership
and Global Citizen goals followed
by a visit to the SOS Childrens
village in Ennerdale
A Global Citizen journalist
accompanied the HP team to
capture the company’s acts of
good and wrote a beautiful piece
that was later published on the
Global Citizen Website.
https://www.globalcitizen.org/

village-johannesburg-HP
The HP team spent valuable time
with the kids , providing lunch on
the day and donating stationary ,
education games , books and PC.
The initiative enhanced HP pillar
of community with special focus
on education.
