9. THE GLOBAL FUND
The Global Fund is a 21st-century partnership organization designed to accelerate the
end of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics.
Founded in 2002, the Global Fund is a partnership between governments, civil society,
the private sector and people affected by the diseases. The Global Fund raises and
invests nearly US$4 billion a year to support programs run by local experts in countries
and communities most in need.
The Global Fund is a financing institution, providing support to countries in the response
to the three diseases; we do not implement programs on the ground. Global Fund staff,
all based in Geneva, Switzerland, come from all professional backgrounds and from
more than 100 different countries.
By challenging barriers and embracing innovative approaches, the Global Fund
partnership strives for maximum impact. Working together, we have saved millions of
lives and provided prevention, treatment and care services to hundreds of millions of
people, helping to revitalize entire communities, strengthen local health systems and
improve economies.
THE (RED) MANIFESTO
EVERY GENERATION ISEVERY GENERATION ISEVERY GENERATION ISEVERY GENERATION IS KNOWN FOR SOMETHING.KNOWN FOR SOMETHING.KNOWN FOR SOMETHING.KNOWN FOR SOMETHING.
Let's be the one to deliver an AIDS FREE GENERATION.
We all have tremendous power. What we choose to do or even buy, can affect
someone’s life on the other side of the world. In 2002, more than 1,500 babies were
born every day with HIV. Today that number is just over 600. We must act now to get
that close to zero.
With urgency and action, it’s possible for the world to end the transmission of HIV from
moms to their babies. We can deliver the first AIDS FREE GENERATION in over thirty
years.
(RED) can’t accomplish this alone. It will take all of us to get there –governments,
health organizations, companies, and you. When you DO THE (RED) THING, a (RED)
partner will give up some of its profits to fight AIDS.
It’s as simple as that.
BE (RED). Start the end of AIDS now.
10. (RED) partners with iconic brands and organizations to develop (RED)-branded products and
services that generate contributions to the Global Fund to invest in HIV/AIDS programs in Africa, with
a focus on countries with high prevalence of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. (RED) and its
partners provide consumers and activists a wide range of activities and behaviors that trigger
corporate giving to the Global Fund. (RED) operations are funded by charitable grants and
foundations, along with a small license activation fee from our corporate partners. (RED) partners
direct a portion of their profits from (RED)-branded products, services and events directly to the
Global Fund. The consumer does not pay extra for this. (RED) never handles this money – it is sent
directly to the Global Fund with no overhead taken out.
That means that 100% of the money from the sale of (RED) products goes directly to the ground
in Africa in the form of Global Fund (RED) grants. (RED) has contributed over $320 million to support
Global Fund HIV/AIDS grants in Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, and
Zambia. So far more than 60 million people have been reached with prevention, treatment,
counseling, and care services through these grants. (RED) dollars are used to support programs that
have helped provide life-saving antiretroviral therapy for 220,000 HIV-positive people, put more than
130,000 HIV-positive pregnant women on preventative antiretroviral therapy to reduce the risk of
mother-to-child transmission and reached 15 million people with HIV testing and counselling.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
13. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(RED) was created to engage the private sector, its marketing prowess and funds in the
fight against AIDS in Africa. The Global Fund was established as a public-private
partnership but, before (RED) launched, businesses had contributed just $5 million to
the Global Fund in four years while the public sector had given more than $5 billion.
(RED) was designed to kick-start a steady flow of corporate money into the Global Fund,
and it has. Since its launch in the spring of 2006, (RED) has generated over $320 million
for the Global Fund –more than any other business initiative has contributed to the Global
Fund. 100% of (RED) money goes directly to the Global Fund, to finance programs
fighting AIDS in Africa.
BUSINESS NEEDS
(RED)’s primary use of social media is to keep the brand relevant in the eyes of
consumers and energize followers who support the organization’s ethical consumerism
cause. After examining each of the social media sites, it was noted that the brand has
high volumes of followers and engagers on all platforms, however the brand fails to
equally engage with its audience. The primary need that is present with the (RED)
organization is to leverage the large number of social media followers to increase
(PRODUCT) RED merchandise sales and (RED) membership that will benefit its
charitable cause.
BUSINESS GOALS
(RED) has identified that social media can be a powerful tool in creating interest in the
brand as well as function as a platform to energize followers into action. (RED) would
like to identify areas of opportunity in social media to achieve its goals. The goals that
(RED) would like to accomplish are:
• Increase Following on Social Media
• Increase Purchase of (PRODUCT) RED licensed merchandise
• Increase buy-in to JOINRED email program
• Increase direct donations to (RED) and The Global Fund
These goals can easily be addressed by categorizing them and assessing needs by the
basis of the following business goal groups: MARKETING and SALES.
14. MARKETING
(RED) wants to keep the organization at the forefront of consumer minds when making
decisions about purchases that have affiliations with its brand. Therefore, (RED) needs
to consistently and strategically disperse advertising messages that assist in achieving
this goal. With rich, shareable content across social media, the brand can easily
establish relevance and awareness of its work, cause, and mission.
SALES
In addition to delivering a message, (RED) also needs for its audience to engage and
follow through with the call-to-action messages delivered by the brand. Because (RED)
is a non-profit that does not receive direct funding and relies on the advertising budgets
of its partners, the organization’s multiple social media accounts need to be compelling
enough to drive membership and active engagement in the organizations cause – which
is NOT selling products – but the eradication of preventable diseases such as AIDS,
malaria, and tuberculosis. That message is what will drive membership of the brand. If
the organization can sell its audience on the mission (PRODUCT) RED will act, as it
should, as the secondary follow-up and accessory component to the organization.
15. THE ETHICAL CONSUMPTION MARKETPLACE
Ethical consumerism can be defined as the practice of purchasing products and
services produced in a way that minimizes social and/or environmental damage, while
avoiding products and services deemed to have a negative impact on society or the
environment.
ETHICAL CONSUMPTION TRENDS
Trendwatching.com describes an “eco-cycology” trend in which “Brands will
increasingly take back all of their products for recycling (sometimes forced by new
legislation), and recycle them responsibly and innovatively.”
Innova Marketing describes the customer demand for pure products, and points out that
in a customer’s mind, “sustainability is a given.”
According to GlobeScan.com, even consumers in developing companies see the value
of the new “green economy” where doing business sustainably is the norm:
GlobeScan’s and SustainAbility‘s most recent survey of global consumers, conducted in
collaboration with National Geographic, shows that those in emerging economies are
even more likely than their developed-world peers to reject the notion that environmental
responsibility and economic prosperity are mutually exclusive.
The survey among consumers across 17 countries asked them to say whether they
thought a Green Economy would be more or less effective than today’s economy in
addressing a range of environmental and social challenges—and found that, globally,
consumers thought a Green Economy would be more effective in all areas except for the
creation of low-paying jobs.
Ethical consumers want much more than a good product for a good price. They also
look for these things in a company, brand or product:
Natural, Pure Ingredients
Ethical Sourcing, Production and
Distribution
Clear Information About Nutrition
Transparency
Fair Labor
Honoring Human Rights
Protecting Human Health
Respecting the Environment
Sustainability
Ethical Marketing and
Advertising
Renewable/Recyclable
Packaging
Giving Back to the Community
and Society
16. (RED) TARGET AUDIENCE
(PRODUCT) RED caters to a younger demographic than its parent, The One
Campaign. The (RED) target audience currently skews toward the millennial
market. This is evidenced in the stylizing and language of social media
content.
Social Technographic ProfilesSocial Technographic ProfilesSocial Technographic ProfilesSocial Technographic Profiles
Based on the nature of the organization’s social media postings, it can be
determined that the social technographic profile personalities that (RED) is attempting to reach fall
under the profiles of:
CREATORS & CONVERSATIONALISTS
Why This Audience?
(RED) aspires to see the content take form as a vehicle to spread the message. Consumers who fall
in the Creators & Conversationalists category tend to have influence over other groups in the social
technographic profile ladder as they are the gatekeepers to what is relevant and interesting amongst
other social media personality types. These groups can (and are willing to) share media and engage
others in the topics. (RED) can leverage this to increase brand awareness and interaction.

CLOSING & SUMMARY
28. CLOSING SUMMARY
(PRODUCT) RED has, without a doubt, a strong potential to leverage its social media
platforms to grow the brand and reach all social media goals. By finding new ways to engage on
social media and increasing the amount of brand to audience engagement, not only can (RED)
increase its social media following, it can also:
• Drive sales of (PRODUCT) RED merchandise
• Increase the number of donations to The Global Fund
• Increase the amount of audience engagement
• Maintain/ Re-establish brand awareness
• Create brand advocates
The bullet points above are, at its core, the primary goal of (RED) on social media and of the brand
holistically. If (RED) can energize its audience to act and promote repetition of action, the brand can
then focus on fostering a community within its followers and establish brand advocates who will spread
the message of the organization and its mission.
