SCALE | Media Pitch | Strategy and Media
TL;DR
The Ask:
Propose a thoughtful and strategic paid media plan for Be Seen Phase campaign to reach a targeted audience in select markets across the country.
​
Originally launched in the spring of 2021, Be Seen aims to move soft supportive audiences (specifically young Black and Latinx women) to become strong brand supporters. We wanted to seed Be Seen messaging to grow awareness around our mission and demonstrate to our priority audiences that caring for your body is about protecting who we want to be.
The Service:
Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading provider and advocate of high-quality, affordable
health care, sex education, and information for millions of people worldwide. With
approximately 600 health centers across the country, Planned Parenthood organizations serve
the diverse needs of their local communities with care and compassion, with respect and without judgment.
Through health centers, programs in schools, communities, and online
resources, Planned Parenthood is a trusted source of reliable health information that allows
people to make informed health decisions. We do all this because we care passionately about
helping people lead healthier lives.
Audience:
