CLIENT:   Birthright Pregnancy Center / KPNT (105.7 The Point)

CHALLENGE:
Birthright Counseling of St. Louis was struggling to reach a tough target audience with a heavy message about pregnancy counseling.

Birthright Pregnancy Center SOLUTION:
Emmis Community Outreach worked with Birthright to brainstorm strategies and messaging that would appeal to a young, edgy audience. The solution was an interactive online and on-air campaign on 105.7 The Point in St. Louis.

Each month for twelve month, a bank of 15 second radio messages drove 16-25 year old listeners to the Point's highly visited station website. Once there, web visitors were directed to visit the "Love Line" page, sponsored by Birthright. "Love Line" is a late-night talk show format featuring nationally syndicated personality, Dr. Drew. The show focuses on topics ranging from blossoming relationships and marriage proposals to more sensitive issues like safe-sex and sexually transmitted diseases.

Each time the show went to commercial, a short Birthright message was heard…associating this relatively unknown nonprofit organization to a very popular radio show and personality.

RESULT:
This campaign achieved it's goal of reaching a tough target demographic of teenagers and young adults, on a usually controversial topic, while still positioning Birthright along with a cool, trendy radio station program.
