Executive Summary Our client, World Relief High Point, has called upon our team, Insight Agency, to create
a campaign that will expand awareness and increase volunteers in the High Point community.
World Relief High Point, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been “empowering the
local church to serve the most vulnerable” in the city of High Point, North Carolina by
contributing to a variety of causes (ex. refugees, human trafficking) that ultimately “stand for the
vulnerable, while educating the community on the mission opportunities in their neighborhood”
(World Relief High Point, 2016). Our mission with this campaign is twofold: (1) to increase the
number of volunteers from the community and (2) to raise awareness in the local community
about World Relief High Point, its mission, vision, values, and it’s rich history of bettering the
High Point community.
Our team has developed one main goal with three objectives, as well as numerous
strategies and tactics to meet the organizations needs. Our first goal (Goal #1) is to expand
presence and gain brand recognition in the High Point community. The first objective is to
increase the number of volunteers by 30% before January 2017. Our second objective is to get
community members to become involved with the Community Garden and World Refugee Day.
Lastly, our third objective is to increase “likes” and followers by 25% on all social media
accounts by January 2017. Throughout the rest of this Campaign document, we have outlined
specific messages, tactics, and timelines in order to fully prepare the client to help them promote
and grow their organization.

Situation Analysis
1. Organization Background
A refugee is the word used for a person that is forced to flee home due to persecution
based on race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion. Refugees have become a
growing concern in our society, with over 69,933 resettled in the United States in 2015
(Migration Policy Institute, 2016). With such a high number of refugees resettling in the United
States, the House of Representatives is beginning to make legislation limiting the flow of
refugees in reaction to this current political climate (Hattem, 2016). “The legislation, called the
Refugee Program Integrity Restoration Act, would set an annual cap at 60,000 refugees,
implement new screening measures, and give state and local governments power to reject the
refugees,” (Hattem, 2016).
In 1944, the War Relief Commission of the National Association of Evangelicals created
an organization (later changed to World Relief) to help the vast majority of people who have
been relocated to a different country (World Relief, 2016). Our client is a branch of World
Relief, called World Relief High Point, which is located in High Point, North Carolina. High
Point World Relief worked with 385 refugees and survivors of human trafficking in 2015, and is
projected to serve 600 in 2016. Along with a high number of Refugees, High Point is a hub for
human trafficking, with North Carolina being a top 10 state affected, along with states such as
Texas, California, New York, and Florida. The mission of World Relief High Point is
“empowering the local Church to serve the most vulnerable,” (World Relief High Point, 2016).
The main focus of the organization is to connect refugees, and those victims to human trafficking
to the community, and make their transition as easy as possible.

In order to fulfill this mission, World Relief High Point has created a Refugee
Resettlement Program, in which their volunteers can choose to participate. The program consists
of four different teams to help refugees in need. The Welcome Team greets incoming refugees at
the airport, and brings them to their new homes. The Home Makeover Team sets up the refugee’s
homes. Members of the Friendship Partners team are connections for those who feel alone.
Lastly, the Good Neighbor Team helps with the resettlement and integration into the community
and life in the United States (World Relief High Point, 2016)
Along with the Refugee Resettlement Program, World Relief High Point also holds
various classes to educate those in need. These programs include sewing, English classes,
computer classes, as well as childcare classes. After partaking in these programs, there is hope
that the participant will have the education and posses the qualities needed to accept and excel in
the workplace. World Relief High Point has various connections with employers and has had
success in educating and getting those in their care employed (World Relief High Point, 2016).
World Relief High Point has created a close partnership with the Church. Their mission
states that “World Relief High Point pursues true partnership out of the genuine conviction that
God desires the gifts, people, skills and varied resources of the whole Church to achieve His
mission in the world,” (World Relief High Point, 2016). Having a strong partnership with the
Church has enabled the nonprofit to have a deeper connection with the refugees. World Relief
High Point looks to invite churches all over the United States to join their global mission over a 5
year period that focuses on a specific area of the country where World Relief works (World
Relief High Point, 2016). Together, they collaborate in an effort to gather resources that are
needed to supply local churches for transformational ministry in their own community.

2. Audience Stakeholder Analysis
In order to further expand and promote the non-profit and its goals, World Relief has
partnered and become alliances with multiple organizations. A few of these include Accord
Network, Core Group, FAST, Integral, Micah Network, and the Refugee Council USA (World
Relief, 2016). World Relief also promotes One Million Thumbprints, #WeWelcomeRefugees,
The Justice Conference, as well as Live:58 (World Relief, 2016). Through these additional
companies and movements, World Relief gains support while supplementing their mission.
Those involved in the organization are community members, local church affiliates, as
well as volunteers. There are two types of volunteers, those who volunteer on a regular basis
either at the World Relief High Point office or with Refugee resettlement, or sporadic volunteers
who come on a less than regular basis. Our client is striving to increase the number of volunteers
involved with their organization yearly due to the volunteers being inconsistent and sporadic.

4. Media Coverage Analysis: The organization’s past and current media relations practices 1. November 20, 2015 World Relief High
Point was featured on Fox 8 News to “explain refugee resettlement process” in the middle of the Paris attacks that sparked conversation about refugees.
2. http://www.hpenews.com/news/world-relief-welcomes-new-director/article_733773b4-e56a-11e5-9538-1772c0da02e8.html March 8, 2016 they are highlighted for the changes going on in the personnel in their organization, seems to be from a news release 3. http://www.highpoint.edu/blog/2016/02/hpu-to-celebrate-international-womens-day/ February 8, 2016 World Relief High Point celebrates International Women’s Day with High Point University and the YWCA High Point 4. http://www.journalnow.com/winstonsalemmonthly/playmakers/lisa-danowski/article_440d17e6-c13f-11e5-becb-1b9a45f0d143.html January 29, 2016 Highlighted in the Winston Salem monthly journal about a personal refugee that went through WRHP and went on to become a volunteer for the organization
In our research we found that World Relief High Point has a good relationship with the
local media and has been featured in the news pretty recently. They were featured on Fox 8
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
9
when refugees were a hot topic in the media because of the Paris attacks in November of 2015.
There was a lot of talk on the news that sparked conversation about refugees. World Relief High
Point was able to explain the refugee resettlement process to those who did not know a lot about
it. They were able to highlight their organization and show how they help refugees which, in
turn, helps the community. This was a great opportunity for World Relief High Point to
highlight their organization in the middle of this hot topic of refugees, when a lot of people are
interested in the topic as well as to possibly be able to inform and even sway people’s opinions
on refugees. This was great earned media for our client.
Being on Fox 8 was a great story that shed a positive light on World Relief High Point,
but in another shorter article on hpnews.com, they just shared with the public that they are
welcoming a new director and it seemed that it was sent to the High Point Enterprise in a news
release. This article just talks about the basics of the changes going on in the organization.
Because World Relief High Point is a nonprofit organization, they seem to typically have very
good relations with the media. They do a lot of good for the community and although their
stories may not be groundbreaking, the media is typically more willing to do a story on them
because it is usually something that will have a positive impact on the community.
5. SWOT Analysis Strengths:
• Support from local church affiliates • Good Facebook recognition • Strong reputation for organization as a whole • Professional website
Weaknesses: • Lack of budget • Social media following is low • Lack of website content • Low volunteer rate • Low public and community following
Opportunities:
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
10
• Refugees are a current hot topic in America • Community calendars for events • People are more in favor of taking in refugees
Threats: • Public opinion against taking in refugees • Community volunteering/ donating to other nonprofit organizations • Law-makers adding new laws to limit number of refugees into the United States
6. Recommendations
One major issue effecting World Relief High Point, organizations like it, and refugees in
general is the social stigma around refugees in America. The news exposure this issue is getting
as well as the possible changing of legislature regarding refugees’ access to the United States has
put a magnifying glass on this topic. World Relief High Point does not have the sufficient funds
to traditionally lobby this issue with hopes to continue refugee’s ability to continue to come to
the United States. However, what they can do is continue to show their support to refugees, and
prove to the community how much refugees give back to the community and the United States as
a whole. This can be accomplished by publicizing the community garden and other community
events through social media. Through implementation of our social media suggestions, the
quotes and photos from the Refugees of High Point could change the public opinion by putting a
face and story to this controversial topic. World Relief High Point would also be smart to stay up
to date with the current political climate and legislature in order to provide refugees with the
most effective service.
Primary Research
1. Research Questions, Research Method, and Target Audiences
Research Question 1: How well-known is World Relief High Point in the High Point community,
and what is the most effective form of communication to reach the High Point community?
Research Question 2: Which ways are High Point community members likely to volunteer?
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
11
Research Question 3: Which type of events are our target audiences interested in?
Method: Survey
Target Audiences for Primary Research:
The target audiences for primary research are High Point Community Members and High Point
University students. Our client is really striving for increased involvement by community
members. We are also targeting High Point University students because we are aware that many
of their classes require volunteer hours and the students may be looking for volunteer
opportunities for their classes, for their sports teams. for their clubs, and/or for their
fraternity/sorority.
Recruiting target audiences & number of people:
The number of people we want to recruit to take our survey is a minimum of 60. The more
people we recruit to take the survey, the more precise our research will be. We will recruit
people in the community at local grocery stores such as Food Lion and Harris Teeter, volunteers
from the Big Brothers & Big Sisters Organizations as well as a sample of High Point University
students and faculty to take our survey. We want a broad and diverse audience to be taking our
survey in order to find out which type of people are more likely to volunteer, this way we can
pinpoint our target audiences for the continuation of our campaign.
Data Collection Plans: Our goal would be to have all 60 surveys completed a month prior to
World Relief High Point’s World Refugee Day Event. This is our timeline because we would
like to use that one month to organize our data and use the findings to see who our target
audience is and to strengthen or change our methods of reaching our target audience. We want
our social media practices to be more effective in reaching our target audiences and we also want
to understand the areas in which people are most interested in volunteering and participating in.

Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
19
2. Target Audience for Proposed Objectives
Our first target audience would be women around the age of 50 who are homemakers and
want to spend their time giving back to the community. We would target church-goers who are
always looking for ways to better the community, yet enjoy socializing.
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
20
Our second target audience is a college-aged student who attends High Point University.
Students who major or minor in Non-Profit Leadership are always seeking community service
hours they can complete for their classes. By reaching out to teachers and clubs/organizations on
campus, World Relief High Point can draw in more volunteers.
4. Rationale for Proposed Objectives
In the diagram above three objectives were listed: (1) Increase the number of volunteers
by 30% by January of 2017, (2) Get community members to become involved with the
Community Garden and World Refugee Day, (3) Increase “likes” and followers by 25%
respectively on all social media accounts by January of 2017. Our main goal for this campaign is
to: expand presence and gain brand recognition of World Relief High Point in the High Point
community. We chose these three objectives because we thought these would be the best way to
achieve the goal. By increasing volunteers, getting community members involved in our events,
and gaining more attention on social media we are more likely to become better known, not only
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
21
through word of mouth but also digitally. These three objectives will be a great way to achieve
the goal the client has set for us.
Key Message Development 1. New Logo and Slogan for Client Branding
2. Social Media Strategies After reviewing World Relief High Point’s current social media accounts, it is easy to
see that their efforts could be strengthened with a few simple ideas. First, would be to focus
all efforts on the Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. The client has mentioned that
there is minimal time for social media efforts. By decreasing accounts, it will make updating
simpler, and more manageable.
Another idea would be to creating more engaging content. Humans of New York is
an Instagram account with 5 million followers that is comprised of pictures of residents of
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
22
NYC from all different walks of life. Along with pictures of these people, there are quotes
and shorts stories included. We believe World Relief High Point could recreate this idea
with their refugees. This campaign would be successful because it would help put a face, a
name, and a story behind the organization. It is one thing to ask for help for the broad topic
of refugees, but it is another to show specific people and tell their story and show our
target market exactly what their time or money would be going towards. These photos can
exemplify how World Relief High Point has had such a meaningful impact on the refugees
they serve. Instagram would be great way to reach of target market with this campaign
because the pew research Center said in 2015 that Instragram is the fastest growing social
media network among adults.
For this campaign, World Relief High Point could post these photos on their
Instagram account and start the hashtag #RefugeesOfHighPoint as well as
#Refugeesinyourtown. They should also hashtag #refugees and #Refugeeswelcome, both of
which are trending hashtags with over 150,000 posts. These hashtags would help the posts
get noticed on users explore page. Humans of New York also runs a blog for the
photographs. World Relief could also recreate this as another way to get their target
market involved on the web. (Example Below)
Insight Agency 2016-‐ World Relief High Point Campaign Proposal
23
3. Website Suggestions
Our client’s website is very professional and easy to navigate for users, however there are
multiple areas in which they can improve. Our first idea is to recreate and redesign the
interface so that there are more exciting and engaging photos and stories of the refugees the
organization has helped. As said above in the social media strategies, adding a blog much
like Humans of New York would be a great way to publicize these stories into a
professional, easy to read manor. It will allow for the site to have more depth and character
by creating a face for the organization. The website should also include a calendar with
events that the organization is holding, as well as those that they are attending or partnering
with.
As far as partners go, we advise that World Relief High Point should add their partners
on their website. The addition of these links would accomplish a few things for the
organization. First, it would add to their credibility. Their target market could make
judgments about World Relief High Point through their association with their partners.
Secondly, it would provide their partners with valuable space on their website, which is an
effective way to maintain a great professional relationship with ones partners.

We will then have a team directing people to the appropriate drop off location within the Community Center, according the items that they have (ex. Clothing, furniture, cooking supplies, food, etc.).
