Objective
Design and produce online and print reports of Qatar’s first National Public Health Strategy. Promote the launch of the Public Consultation of Qatar’s National Public Health Strategy. Realize a significant public participation in the survey during its launch period.
Challenge
The public, by instinct or assumption, might take no notice of our messages only because they were coming from a government organization, banal and dull. Our call-to-actions, if not carefully addressed, might “dictate” to the public. Unfortunately, that tone would ignite negative emotions, whereas this initiative was all about the public’s well-being and the most valuable part of it was the ministry’s empathy for the people by listening and understanding them. The strategy features extensive content and consists of a highly technical language, an extraordinary challenge especially for the online audience.
Answer
People hate to be told what to do. They look for empowerment and guidance that lead to better lives. Knowing this, we have concentrated on the empathizing perspectives and the educational elements of the strategy. And added a rewarding engagement in our communication experience, which altogether resulted in off-the-charts conversion rates and participation in the end. Moreover, viewers could easily get the purpose of the strategy, identify his/her interests and learn more about them while not feeling overwhelmed by the bulk of the information. They were able to do it whether being at the launch event looking at the stand branding, or viewing it online on a mobile device or reading it from the printed version.
