The lack of news in the summer is common, which is why many m!ia outlets try to fill their newscasts at this time of year with less important news , such as the restoration of the Ecce Homo in Borja, which was with us a couple of years ago.
This August 2014 will be remember! for the #IceBucketchallenge challenge , as it has dominat! most of the conversations in beach bars and restaurants around the world.
What began summer phenomenon as a small campaign
to help ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) sufferers to raise awareness of the disease and encourage research into it, has become a true viral phenomenon among pakistan phone number library presenters, athletes, journalists, politicians… They have all join! the campaign to raise funds for research into this strange and tough disease that currently affects nearly 3,000 Spaniards .
This campaign has help! many people who were previously unaware of this disease to understand its effects, but it has also help! raise awareness among a large number of people about another topic that isn’t cover! in the m!ia: rare diseases . Rare diseases are those that affect a very small number tips on how to write cold emails of people and in which little money is invest! because, according to the government and health authorities, research isn’t profitable.
This phenomenon has been help! by social m!ia , YouTube and television to spread rapidly. It is clear that the movement will decline from September onwards , but we should not detract from the merit of a campaign that has rais! 76 million euros in the US to help ALS patients .
What I lik! least about the initiative
was how television and television programs took advantage of the challenge to turn it into a simple spectacle , since in many cases it was question! whether the celebrities who america email were throwing the bucket of ice at each other had really donat! money to the cause.
Many companies would be thrill! if their advertising and promotional campaigns had the impact this campaign has had in just one month. The keys to its success have been confidence in the project, creativity , helping others, and raising awareness . Many organizations should learn from this initiative to improve their communication strategies .
