About Us
4. 1. Recruit new donors and increase active donor base by
5000
2. Ensure that 50% of these donors are blood-type O
3. Encourage new donors to successfully convert to active
donors (more than one donation in a 12-month period)
Noir tackled this challenge by doing a situational analysis to
find key insights and develop an fully integrated
communications campaign in order to meet the objectives
presented to us.
Objectives
5. Challenges and Constraints
We have identified challenges/constraints that we either need to solve or
work around in order to produce a successful campaign.
Only 1.3% of the population makes up the active donor base.
High barrier of entry to donate (need to encourage less risky lifestyles)
WPBTS seek mainly blood-type O, but don’t want to single them out and
reject other donors
8. Research Objectives
To discover the key reasons for people not donating
blood, as well as understand the general attitude toward
WPBTS.
To determine:
Do they know their blood type?
Are they regular donors?
What are the reasons that are preventing them from donating?
What would motivate them to donate?
Do they know about WPBTS?
Do they know where the closest blood clinic to them is?
9. Findings
Preventative factors to donating
Time/convenience
Fear
Iron levels
Seek remuneration
Attitude toward WPBTS

• Majority of youth are unaware of their blood type, but
recognise of knowing it
• Negative association with blood donation, fear of
needles and general dislike for doctors
• Most of the youth lead lifestyles which do not
condone blood donation
• Most people want something in return for donating
blood
14. Technological
• Nucleic Amplification Technology (ID-NAT) - Method
of shortening the window period for recognising the
HIV antibody
• ID-NAT under scrutiny for reliability as a testing model
and if implemented could shorten the window period
for potential donors involved in risky activity.

Competitor SWOT
21. Good facilities and staff.
However, the contact points do not link up effectively due to a lack of
effectiveness of the brands media communications.
The brand fails to attain much needed exposure, resulting in blood
donations not being a priority and stand-out point in peoples’ minds.
22. Insights
• Large amount of people unaware of WPBTS as a brand
• Brand communications go unnoticed
• More inclined to go with someone (bring a buddy)
• Need to be made aware of mobile clinics
• Would prefer if WPBTS came to them
• Want remuneration/recognition for donations
• Want communications on platforms they are active on
• Appreciate the refreshments and freebies
24. 1) How can we craft a stronger identity for the brand?
Why?
Brand goes unnoticed
People don’t always distinguish from SANBS
25. 2) What can we do to build a more focused interactive communications
strategy?
Why?
Communication efforts fail to break through clutter
General public unaware of brand communications
26. 3) How can we rework the brand data infrastructure?
Why?
People have the preconception of having their time wasted
People claim to not have very much time to spare
27. 4) Who could we approach for brand sponsorship or endorsement?
Why?
To help fund brand communications
To align with a like-minded brand/personality to gain more exposure and
increase appeal/credibility
29. 1. To restructure the brand concept by October 2013.
2. To increase brand awareness through the implementation of a more
effective Integrated Brand Communications campaign by January
2014.
3. To increase efficiency of information processing through an online
database by October 2013.

Proposed changes and recommendations for
Facebook and Twitter
• Remove “redness” from background

known that they are associated with them
• Add more photos of people actively donating
(especially local bloggers and celebs, these
“excursions” must also be blogged)
• Encourage trend of using hashtags when they tweet
after they’ve donated #CTblooddonation
#savinglivestogether
• “Have you seen the Big Red Blood Bus in your area?”
• “The next mobile clinic will be at UCT Upper Campus
