The Background • National government funding to promote safe sex and sexual health education. • Only 4 staff and volunteer peer educators. • Demand from all over Australia, including diverse geographic locations. • Any engagement needed to be cost effective.
Being RedAware • Think Red: Think about your sexual health and get informed • Talk Red: Start a conversation about sexual health • Act Red: Take positive action to prevent the spread of HIV and other STIs.
Why RedAware? • Existing branding that resonated with young Australians • Linked into international HIV/AIDS ‘Red’ campaigns • Wanted to allow young Australians to have an opportunity for scaled involvement w YEAH, RedAware allows all Australians, no matter age or geographic location to be involved.
A more traditional social media campaign • Action based email campaign • Calls to action/information are a combination of YEAHs own initiatives and other relevant actions. • Email campaign is the key pillar of our social media campaign, supported by other channels.
Challenges • YEAH targets a mainstream young Australian audience. • Core issues of sexual health and safe sex are generalist, no single issue. • Needed to be cost effective and make the most use of out limited resources
How we addressed challenges • Every sign up to our campaign makes a statement on sign up as to why they’re RedAware. • YEAH sends out a ‘Safe Sex Kit’ to every sign up who requests it (this has pros/cons) • Use peer education Facebook groups as sources for content • Tie-ins to big engaging campaigns (YEAH and other) • Professional look and feel
