Speaking as a digital agency, there are a lot of different things we do, are asked to do, and that people think we do.But ultimately, what we do is create relationships between our clients and their audiences. And that means that we need to find ways to engage these audience both initially, and in a sustained effort that creates long-term brand advocates
Today,I want to show you two recent Carousel30 projects. We generally work with two types of campaigns: sprints and marathons. The first one was more like a sprint. We were focusing on one event and needed to achieve as much buzz as quickly as possible.And the other was more like a marathon. We didn’t just want that fast burst of interest, we wanted long-term engagement.
A “sprint” campaign we did recently was the 7 Billion & Me website for the United Nations Population Fund.
Focus: The focus of this campaign was one day - the day the world population hit 7 Billion. The 7 Billion & Me site was part of the larger 7 Billion Actions campaign, and the goal here was to create a way for any member of the 7 billion people on earth to see how they fit into that enormous number. The 7 Billion & Me site was part of the larger 7 Billion Actions campaign to build global awareness and inspire individual actions for positive social impact.Strategy: Give the audience a tangible way to connect with what a population of 7 billion people meansGoal:We obviously knew the date in advance – so we had a clear timeframe available during which the site would be most relevant. As I’ll show you in a minute, the United Nations Population Fund had all of this great data that needed to be shared for the already momentous occasion, but we took that and sprinted with it. We made a visually appealing, personalized, interactive and shareable infographic.
For 7 Billion & Me we had to take these large amounts of complex data…This data ranged from birth rates in every major city around the world, contraception usage, Life expectancy, population by age, gender, etc.One of the UN’s demographic statisticians has spent the previous 9 months compiling data and calculations that would eventually power the 7 Billion and Me application
Oh and by the way… we need it in 2 weeks
Take personal information that is unique to each user…
And turn them into something tangible that people could wrap their minds around.

Success: Within 24 hours of the website’s launch, the site received more than 70,000 unique visits, and on World Population Day, October 31, 2011, the site received 87,243 visits. Though the site continues to get a few hundred visits a day, of the half million visitors since the site launched 6 months ago, half of those visits, more than 250,000, were between October 30th and November 5th.
