Summary

In March 2024, we delivered a high-profile campaign for EMCCA’s first mayoral election. Within five days, we mobilised 53 partner communicators and implemented a PESO-based strategy combining media relations, social advertising, community radio, and out-of-home placements. Creative assets included a microsite and 11 ‘people like me’ films. The campaign achieved 7.3 million media reach, 4.5 million through partner channels, and 210,000 website interactions. Voter turnout reached 27.6%, outperforming comparable first-time elections and demonstrating our ability to deliver complex, multi-stakeholder projects under tight timelines.
