Project Tomorrow

Strategic partnership to differentiate and promote annual research project

Goals

Project Tomorrow, a national education nonprofit, partnered with CB&A to promote and leverage its annual Speak Up Research Project, and differentiate from other surveys being released around the same time.

Since 2004, Project Tomorrow has conducted Congressional Briefings in Washington, D.C., to release the findings from its Speak Up annual report. The event moved online to make it more accessible and was hosted in partnership with edWeb. CB&A expanded visibility of the event and report by managing a media relations campaign and crafting two derivative content marketing assets.

  • Crafted and distributed news release announcing Speak Up report and virtual Congressional Briefing.
  • Referenced Speak Up report to share content theme and format recommendations.

Results

A collaborative, strategic partnership with CB&A enabled Project Tomorrow to expand the reach of its annual Speak Up report, further leverage its findings and increase attendance to its virtual Congressional Briefing event.

By targeting the right mix of education, consumer and political news outlets and blogs, CB&A generated increased interest for the Speak Up research and virtual Congressional Briefing, including earned coverage in Tech & Learning, Education Dive and District Administration.
