  • Brisbane Open House Public Relations Plan
    Prepared for AMB379 Public Relations Campaigns (May 2016) Brisbane Open House Public Relations Plan Brisbane Open House Public Relations Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Brisbane Open House has approached Glasshouse Public Relations to ensure the organisation maintains a positive growth trajectory and is well-positioned to obtain sponsorship and funding in a highly competitive operating environment The opportunity to increase, awareness of and engagement with Brisbane Open House among Brisbane young professionals and university has been identified as a way to meet this goal. Glasshouse Public Relations is proud to introduce the Unlock Your City Campaign. The campaign is innovative, creative and cost-effective and has been designed to truly unlock the potential of Brisbane Open House whilst maximizing their reputation and building relationships with a new target audience and the local community. Glasshouse Public Relations have utilised a strategic approach that incorporates media and community relations to capture the interest and involvement of a new target public that they had not specifically targeted in previous campaigns. Furthermore the strategy is cost-effective and has incorporated competition-based incentives, social media, traditional media and community engagement. Tactics have been designed to achieve the specific goals and objectives relating to awareness and engagement among the target public towards Brisbane Open House events and as brand overall. This proposal discusses how this campaign can achieve the public relations goal and ultimately, achieve Brisbane Open House’s goal while using the slogan “unlock your city” as an underlying key message that shines through each tactic.. The three key tactics and mutliple sub-tactics will be implemented throughout that campaign period of mid June – October 2016 and are detailed in the campaign’s tactical timeline.
