The Campaign
With the aim of encouraging parents to truly engage in their child's day-to-day digital life, We launched the Talk About Hate initiative. The initiative offered parents the opportunity to sign up to receive harassing text messages for one week, directly to their mobile phone. Because, in order to really understand how it feels – you have to experience it for yourself.
The text messages delivered were based on authentic messages received by vulnerable school children.
Campaign Success
The initiative was launch with a press conference where the city officials declared that they were going to send offensive text massages to parents.
A website was launched where the parents could sign up for the service and also find information about what you could do as a parent to prevent cyberbullying.
The information was also distributed trough official channels such as schools and official websites (the police, the city, the schools).
Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results
Over 4,6 million media impression (the city only has 40.000 inhabitants).
Over 2.000 parents signed up for the service
A number of other cities has also join the initiative.
Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service
To make a stand against cyberbullying the city of Landskrona is introducing the
initiative #snackaomhat meaning “talk about hate”. The goal of the initiative is to
make parents more aware of what their children are actually doing in the digital
world. To do so an SMS function that sends out harassing messages was created.
By signing up with their phone numbers the users receive these messages directly
to their phones and will that way really feel what it is like to be cyber bullied.
The initiative was picked upp by national media and had a reach of 4.600.000 contacts
