Objectives
1. Leverage a series of September 2008 events to build momentum, amplify
the message, and create a positive halo effect around the Human Network
Effect campaign.
2. Create an engaging connection between these events that celebrates the
results of the Human Network- which is the Human Network Effect. Focus
on the results created by the human network; make the "effect" the hero, not
just the activation.
3. Generate understanding that Cisco enables and empowers borderless
communities to do good
4. Motivate to act and demonstrate the effect via the platform to improve
everyday life
5. Contribute to the longer term campaign to increase the value of the Cisco
brand AMB before/after change in brand perception in target markets
6. Gain favorable press
