Problem: NFCCs competition was flooding the airwaves
with hard-sell TV commercials promising consumers an easy solution
to their debt problems. While NFCC had an existing Public Service
Announcement (PSA), it no longer conveyed the new research-based
message points or the look-and-feel of the new brand.
Solution: Boscobel created two affordable PSAs consistent
with the new NFCC image. The spots urge people in need to contact
NFCC or one of its member agencies (which meant the PSAs could
be easily customized). Boscobel used a simple yet powerful
text message with minimal audio (making it easy to re-cut multi-lingual
versions).
Results: The new PSA's were well-received. In
fact, a New Orleans member agency enjoyed a nearly 10% increase
in calls during the first flight of spots. Nationally, the
spots were picked up by Hispanic Television Network, the nation's
third largest Spanish-language network. And the spots were
national finalists in the 2000 Vision Awards competition for
local and regional PSAs throughout the country.
