LIGHT POLLUTION

Every Light Has Its Shadow

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Call To Action

Social media can help engage people and spark their interest through smart challenges, stories, videos, and podcasts, guiding them towards a deeper understanding of the issue of light pollution. In this section we report our planned CTA activities, as well as the identified indicators and the expected results, that can be used to implement both audience engagement and data collection.

OUR CONTENT PROPOSAL

OUR EXPECTED RESULTS

Increasing awareness through quiz participation and a final challenge invitation to switch off all unnecessary lights for one night and share the experience

Quick public engagement and data collection of people’s knowledge and perceptions of the dark

Collecting data and encouraging questionnaire completion by means of a prize offer

Mapping the darkest skies and encouraging people to rediscover the beauty of the night, to participate in the prize draw, and to share

Creating an immersive experience for those who love music and storytelling, encouraging to listen and share

Showing the value of the dark skies through relaxing images, sounds, and a video to share

AN EFFECTIVE CTA

A Call to Action can be defined as a marketing device designed to prompt the immediate and active response of the target audience. Whether it is clicking on a link, filling in a form, making a purchase or seeking further information, CTAs represent clear and direct invitations for the user to take immediate action, as per definition. Furthermore, after selecting the most suitable Call To Action activities, it is important to foresee their publication, and possibly repetition, throughout the project lifetime and to maintain a consistent stylistic and graphic format in order to give them recognisability through different media and over time. Indeed, through sponsorships and CTAs, the project hopes not only to reach the target audiences but also to attract new people and therefore broaden the number of users and followers.
