JMC 4403 – Public Relations Campaigns
1 for All Grant Program
______________________________________________________________________________
Overview
Students in the Spring 2020 Public Relations Campaigns class at the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication took part in the 1 for All Grant Program. There were 29 students in the class, broken into five teams with 5-6 students on each team. Students applied for and were assigned roles on the team with each team consisting of at least one: a) account executive, b) research director, c) creative director, d) writing director, e) action and messaging director. Each team chose their own name and brand identity after they were randomly assigned one of the protections of the First Amendment.
Teams were:
1. First Freedom Communications- Right of the people peaceably to assemble
2. Launch PR- Freedom of speech
3. 91 Public Relations - Freedom of the press
4. RLGN- Establishment of religion, and free exercise
5. Talk PR- Right to petition the government for a redress of grievances
Teams were instructed to carry out on-campus campaigns, however, due to COVID-19 the campus was shut down following spring break and all students had to change course of their campaigns to online-only communications and interactions.
Campaigns were to consist of the following:
1. Overview of the First Amendment and the freedom assigned,
2. Secondary research and competitive analysis,
3. Primary research and SWOT analysis,
4. Positioning statements, goals, objectives,
5. Target audiences/personas,
6. Action and communication strategies,
7. Tactics overview,
8. Schedule and budget,
9. Tactics and objectives evaluation,
10. References, and
11. Appendices with primary research instruments, evaluation instruments, and tactics completed for the campaign.
