Project Description
There’s a tough truth facing kids across America.When’s the last time you waited in a line 30,000 people deep? Every day, there are 30,000 kids across America who wait in an invisible, but very real line. What are they waiting for? A Big Brother or Big Sister. 30,000 mentor roles waiting to be filled and 30,000 kids who can’t wait to meet them.This Fall, Manifesto worked hand in hand with The Arby’s Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to help tell these kids’ story. With a focus on childhood hunger, youth mentorship and career readiness, Arby’s saw the opportunity to raise awareness around the mentorship gap.With the launch of the microsite TheBigWait.org, we deployed a handful of teasers into the digital ether followed by a :60 TV spot, illustrating what would happen if this line was made visible. Driving viewers to the site, the video content campaign accompanied a simultaneous national in-store dollar donation program at Arby’s restaurants to support Big Brothers Big Sisters, No Kid Hungry and Junior Achievement.

Though the number of people signing up to deliver packages exceeded expectations, fewer drivers stay in the system to deliver multiple routes. Because the program’s success relied on a strong core of repeating delivery partners, it quickly became apparent that the Amazon Flex brand needed to better communicate the benefits and expectations to consumers.It’s not about the work people do that’s most important, but what that work will do for them.We launched a revamped brand offering, visuals and key messages to better inform and educate Flex delivery partners why they should always choose Flex over other gigs• Research & Audience Segmentation • Positioning & Messaging • Brand & Product Launch Campaigns • Brand Standards Development • Social & Digital Content
