  1. Promoting Organ Donation – A Winning Experience Kathy SchultzSenior Marketing Consultant, UW Health Trey SchwabOutreach Coordinator, UW Organ and Tissue Donation Suzanne RasmussenWaitlist Candidate, UW Health Transplant

  2. Our History:Charter Media and UW OTD • July 2007: Met with Charter Media to discuss a TV advertising campaign to promote organ donation • September 2007: Asked WPS Insurance to sponsor first TV ads and a series of on-demand videos ($60,000 for this package) • WPS agreed to underwrite the entire package if Charter agreed to match it by 3:1 ratio – so we would receive $240,000 in paid advertising • DONE DEAL! We produced the commercials and were on air by March 2008 (commercials featured our UW OTD staff – great idea from Iowa)

  3. Ads and videos ran statewide for 12 months (March 2008 - March 2009) Saturation campaign – more than 6,000 ads ran Prior to donor registry: Message – sign your license and talk to your family Showed increase in donor designations of 1.5% total (approx. 100,000 new designations) Really difficult to effectively measure results without a donor registry “Priming the pump” for Wisconsin donor registry launch on March 29, 2010

  4. Zoom ahead to 2010: Scripted series of events, campaigns, Transplant Games, etc. to really promote donation for the full year; no advertising ran during this time Fall of 2010 – Met with Charter Media and various potential sponsors to try to find someone to underwrite a new TV campaign; unsuccessful March 2011: Charter’s “contest” to test various combinations of advertising platforms (TV ads, Charter Main Street, on-demand, Music Choice, web advertising)

  5. Charter would donate a large package to a charitable non-profit organization who could return accurate data measurements before, during, and after the campaign Competition with several non-profits (Red Cross, Susan B. Komen, etc.); each met with a Charter sales team and regional managers to present their case UW OTD/organ donation selected in April 2011, just prior to the last Doug Miller Symposium
