Project: Fiesta La Ballona, Multi Level Platform Promotion

“Fiesta La Ballona” Party in the park began in 1951 in Culver City, CA as a week-long celebration of the region’s early settlers. For an entire week people went to the events and even to work dressed up as Native American Indians, rancheros, señoritas, cowboys and cowgirls. The early fiestas evoked pride among the descendants of the “first families” and offered the entire community a playful opportunity to connect with its history. Over the years, the 62-year-old festival has evolved into Fiesta La Ballona.

CLIENT: Habitat for Humanity
Multi-Channel Ad Campaign
In 2009, what was arguably the worst economic downfall in decades in Dallas, TX, donations were down, the need had increased, and more often than not, non-profits were struggling to achieve their fundraising goals and meet the needs of those who they strive to serve.
Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity decided to reach out to Beyond Direct Marketing and Hartlove Design in the summer of that year to create a strategic corporate outreach program to raise the funds necessary to continue building safe, decent, affordable homes for hardworking families in need.
Through innovative and creative thinking, we created a program branded as the “Corporate Community Builders Program”, implementing a three-phase print campaign that included a teaser postcard, an eight page brochure, and a reminder follow-up with a t-shirt encouraging businesses to get involved and to get their employees to take part in the ultimate team building activity – building a house together alongside a deserving family in need.
In addition to the print components of the campaign, we also created and integrated radio spots, online campaigns and phone call follow-ups in order to enhance the program, resulting in outreach to thousands of businesses throughout the city of Dallas. In doing so, Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity was able to generate the dollars needed to continue to fund the mission and build even more homes for low-income families in Dallas.
In the end, 12 corporate donors pledged $10,000 each, and a total of $65,000 was raised along with gifts in kind.
