Advocacy Messages

You didn't give up on sex. Don't give up on birth control either. There are more methods than you think.

This is inspiring because it is trying to prevent unplanned pregnancies. The slogan shows a dog interrupting a couple about to have sex. This is funny and it makes people laugh but also stop and think. Its important to convey message in a way that will be well received and humor is one way.

Give. Advocate. Volunteer.

I think this is inspiring because it is a simple statement. It is trying to engage people in the community. It is easy and clear for them to understand. There are many needs in the community and this is a simple way of saying how people can help. It basically shows them they can help with having to get super involved (such as donating money) or they can help by actively being involved (advocating and volunteering)

A texting driver is 23 times more likely to get into a crash than a non-texting driver.

This is effective because the slogan lets people know how dangerous it is to text and drive. The slogan also lets them know how much more likely they are to be in an accident if they text and drive. It gets their attention and hopefully they want to be more safe.

  1. Susann,

    I like the unplanned pregancy public service annnouncement. It makes people stop and think about their choices. The second message is simple yet very inspiring. I also like the last message, we have a teenage driver in our family now and this is one I will definitely share with her. It's a message we are constantly reminding her about.

  2. Susann, both of these messages are great. Texting and driving is dangerous...I have tried it myself and almost run off the road so I decided to give that up a long time ago!
