A team of young filmmakers from Griffith University have created an advertising campaign that encourages young people to have their say at the ballot box.

The project was commissioned by the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ) who tapped into Griffith Universitys multi-disciplinary expertise, from Griffith Business School, School of Government and International Relations, Griffith Film School and Social Marketing @ Griffith.

Second-year film student Carmen Garratt directed and produced the campaign with a crew from Griffith Film School.

Carmens concept won a pitch competition run by Griffith Film Schools in-house production arm, LiveLab. Her visionwas simple and effective: create a campaign that focuses on the issues that really matter to young people.

Young people can be a bit disillusioned with politics, but its important that they feel voting will make a difference, she said.

We drove home the point that seats can be won or lost by a few votes, and that young people have the potential to shape the upcoming Queensland election.

The ad campaign covered all of the issues that my friends and I care about the environment, mental health, technology.

It was about making things exciting, colourful and vibrant.

Carmen and the crew shot at 13 different locations across south-east Queensland to tight timeframes from labs and lecture theatres at Nathan campus to rural properties, skate parks, police stations and coffee shops. Adding an extra layer of complexity was the need to make sure the shoot conformed to strict COVID protocols.

It was very intense a real learning curve, she said.

It was logistically very challenging, but it all paid off in the end.

I always wanted to make films that positively influence society, and Im already getting the chance to do it before I even graduate.

By studying at Griffith you are part of something bigger we get to go beyond the classroom and work on industry-level projects.

LiveLab Creative Director Richard Fabb said the student filmmakers had been able to draw on Griffith Universitys expertise, industry connections and cutting-edge equipment to create a stunning, cinema-quality campaign.

The scale of the production and the tight timeframes meant this was a steep learning curve for our students, but they really stepped up, he said.

ECQ were delighted with the campaign and have plans to use it beyond the upcoming state election.

Griffith Business School Dean (Engagement) Professor Anne Tiernan said the project provided a model for industry collaboration.

The Electoral Commission was able to tap into our vast expertise at Griffith University from researchers in the School of Government and International Relations to marketing experts at Social Marketing and film talent at Griffith Film Schools LiveLab and Griffith Business Schools DigiLab.

Industry partners like ECQ get access to our thought leaders, our distinctive inter-disciplinary experience and a pipeline of creative talent.

Industry-relevant, community-focused projects like this are a win-win, providing positive outcomes for student employability.

Griffith spearheads new campaign encouraging young voters to have their say - Griffith News

If you're looking to increase your brand presence on Instagram, giveaways can be a good way to get your posts in front of more people and showcase both your products and your account. But there's a right way and a wrong way to go about it - done right, Instagram giveaways can be effective, and providing lasting, tangible benefits. Done wrong, they can come across as spammy, and potentially hurt your business.

In this post, we'll look at some of the keys to running a successful Instagram giveaway campaign, as well as some of the missteps that you need to avoid.

So first, to clarify a common Instagram giveaway question...

A follower 'loop'is a process which has been devised to maximize post reach, and counteract some of the limitations of Instagram's feed algorithm.

A loop involves multiple businesses or users pooling together to offer a larger giveaway package, which they then all promote among their own followers, directing them to also follow the other loop participants. Each business posts the same update, tagging the next business in the loop in a sequence like this:

The 'loop' then goes on in this manner for as many businesses which are participating in the campaign.

No.

90% of the time the followers gained via loop giveaways are not high-quality followers who will stick around for your content and engage with your profile long term. There's a generally large drop off rate, typically 50% or more, at the conclusion of a loop process.

If your only goal is to generate followers, then it might be a good mechanism, but for the far majority of businesses, loops wont work well as a growth strategy.

Every Instagram giveaway should be part of a larger strategy,with defined target metrics and budget parameters.

Typically giveaways work to increase brand awareness, increase engagement, and grow your audience. You are unlikely to drive a ton of sales though giveaways.

That said running an Instagram giveaway is rather easy to do.

When choosing your giveaway prize, you have to look at two things:

Obviously, the larger the prize, the more entrants you'll attract, but there is a downside to this in that very large prizes - like, say,cars, vacations, and the like -are going to attract a much broader audience who may not actually be interested in what your business has to offer.

That is where the second element comes in -who is your target audience and what sort of large prize would they love that the average consumer might not be so interested in?

For example, yoga enthusiasts would love a brand new yoga mat and/or a new Lululemon outfit, but generally, audiences could probably care less. Automotive fans would love tickets to a muscle car expo, which might attract a more relevant following than offering an actual car as a prize.

As with anything,broad reach is the best option for maximum awareness, but it may not be the best for connecting with specific audiences, which is an element you need to keep in mind.

Typically, you would post these in the Instagram post description - youll want to say something like:

"For a chance to win, you must:

Winner will be picked at random by XX date."

To run a successful Instagram giveaway, you want to drive the giveaway loop.This is done through having people tag friends, driving new people to the giveaway and getting more people engaged.

How you pick a winner is as simple as an online dice roller, an online app, or grabbing a winner from the comments section. Appsoteos is a free Instagram giveaway picker up to 1000 comments, and is a pretty good solution for most giveaways.

The short answer is yes -so long as the giveaway is a part of a greater marketing campaign, as giving away products and services can be a great way to build your audience and increase brand loyalty and awareness.

Here's a sample giveaway strategy that you can use:

If you run this type of campaign over and over again, you'll generate a ton of new followers and engagement on your Instagram page, and rather than connecting with a more generalized audience that will stop following, you'll be reaching the people you really want to make aware of your business.

Yes, but there will be a level of drop-off after every campaign, so don't be discouraged to see a level of fluctuation, even if you're being highly targeted in your approach.

If you really want to grow your following, ensure that you promote your giveaway on other social media platforms, through advertisements, and by leveraging your email list. If you're trying to generate leads for your business make sure you have a dedicated landing page for your giveaway.

Ultimately, it comes down to strategy, and ensuring your giveaways fit into your overall approach and plan, rather than tagging onto another, larger campaign. Of course, some people will see a level of success through that approach also, but the more targeted you are, the more effective your campaigns will be, long-term, in building your brand.

New West residents have a chance to channel their passion for recycling into the new Royal City Recycling Champions program.

The program, which is based on content in the Master Recycler Vancouver program, addresses garbage, recycling and organics disposal, and train participants in community outreach, leadership and behaviour change. While participants will learn about recycling, the program also explores how people can reduce and avoid creating waste in the first place.

We are really excited to engage with New West, said Daniel Rotman, co-facilitator of Master Recycler Vancouver. Its a small, compact and connected city, and I think that offers a lot of opportunities for these people to really put their passion to work in a way that works for city and for the community. Everybody likes recycling, everybody is interested in recycling we just need to get people aware of how its really working so they can direct their passions appropriately.

Royal City Recycling Champions consists of four evening classes, followed by public outreach. The idea is to teach people how to reduce waste and to get them to share the knowledge they acquire through the program with other community members.

We will take a look at all the facilities that are present, all the companies that operate within New Westminster to haul and manage recycling, Rotman said. Then from there we are going to go a little bit deeper into what does it mean to actually recycle these materials. How does paper get recycled? How does plastic get recycled?

The online program, which begins Oct. 15 on Zoom, includes four online classes:

Class 1 New Westminster's Waste System explores the concept of waste, the citys waste-management system and home waste audits (which will be completed for class three).

Class 2 Its All About Materials, Not Waste addresses materials and the way theyre handled. This includesplastic, paper, organics, glass, electronics, metals, hazardous and other EPR (extended producer responsibility) products.

Class 3 Back to the Future: The Local Circular Economy considers topics such as waste solutions and the circular economy, local organizations and city initiatives, multi-family housing challenges and options, and home waste audit reviews and discussion.

Class 4: Your Turn Now: Community Engagement tackles the principles of community-based social marketing; behavior change tactics, and how they apply to multi-family housing; planning community outreach activities; and a final discussion and wrap-up.

We end off with the more practical aspect of the course or the program, which is: what are things people can actually do in the community? Rotman said. And then we mentor them through that process of figuring out what they want to do, and then also provide mentorship for them in the field for their 20 hours of community outreach.

Some examples of outreach done through the Master Recycler Vancouver program have included holding recycling events where the participants help guide community members on how to recycle properly, creating small courses for the community (such as how to bake bread in order to reduce bread packaging) and doing demonstrations on topics such as how to make your own cosmetics and cleaners.

It looks like whatever folks want, Rotman said of the outreach component. We try and encourage people to follow their passions.

Master Recycler and Royal City Recycling Champions programs are places where new ideas may take shape whether its for entrepreneurial or personal activities.

We are kind of led to believe that recycling is just about putting stuff in the right bin. In reality that is sorting. Thats just sorting your recyclables, Rotman said. So what does recycling actually mean? It means making sure that we have a good material stream and that we have something that we can do with that. So quite often we need people to be very creative and understand that, hey we are collecting all this material but nobody is doing anything with it. Sometimes that sparks ideas in peoples minds about, hey, maybe I can do this. Or maybe I can help collect the materials a little better or maybe I can help people reduce this material in the first place.

Rotman said Master Recycler Vancouver has had more than 60 grads and 3,000 hours invested in the community since it got underway five years ago.

With the launch of Royal City Recycling Champions, New Westminster becomes the second city in Metro Vancouver to offer a program based on Master Recycler Vancouver. The program is being funded by a grant from the City of New Westminster.

Master recycling programs in general, we kind of want to bridge gaps. We want to bridge the gap between where our system is at, how our system runs, and what people know about it, said Rotman, noting recycling systems are transitioning. As a result, we all come with or are carrying ideas about how our recycling system works and we dont get an opportunity to update that. What the Royal City Recycling Champions does is provide people with up-to-date information about how the system works, whats involved and how they can interface with the system in a way that they are passionate about and allows them to make a difference.
