Where we are today... DanversCARES has dedicated time and money into alarge scale social marketing project.
Our current project is aimed at parents of 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students in our community. The ask is to have them prevent/reduce youth access to alcohol from the home environment. This ask is directly from our logic model, and is part of our 3-point plan.
We are currently working with a PR/Marketing firm to do focus grouping, message development, design, dissemination, and event planning. In addition to the firm, we are working with an evaluator to evaluate the project, and help DanversCARES to learn, improve and report out on this campaign.
