About Us
The Brief
1. Recruit new donors and increase active donor base by
5000
2. Ensure that 50% of these donors are blood-type O
3. Encourage new donors to successfully convert to active
donors (more than one donation in a 12-month period)
Noir tackled this challenge by doing a situational analysis to
find key insights and develop an fully integrated
communications campaign in order to meet the objectives
presented to us.
Objectives
Challenges and Constraints
We have identified challenges/constraints that we either need to solve or
work around in order to produce a successful campaign.
Only 1.3% of the population makes up the active donor base.
High barrier of entry to donate (need to encourage less risky lifestyles)
WPBTS seek mainly blood-type O, but don’t want to single them out and
reject other donors

Situational Analysis
PESTLE Analysis (External)
Political
• Legal system demands altruism and not
incentives for good deeds
• Conflict between government and blood services
Social
• Majority of youth are unaware of their blood type, but
recognise of knowing it
• Negative association with blood donation, fear of
needles and general dislike for doctors
• Most of the youth lead lifestyles which do not
condone blood donation
• Most people want something in return for donating
blood
Technological
• Nucleic Amplification Technology (ID-NAT) - Method
of shortening the window period for recognising the
HIV antibody
• ID-NAT under scrutiny for reliability as a testing model
and if implemented could shorten the window period
for potential donors involved in risky activity.
SWOT Analysis (Internal)
• Inability to gain exposure
• Not recognised as separate
entity
• No SA Statistics
• Strict safety regulations
• Non-specific campaigns
• No sponsorship
• Preconception of time wasting
• No clear regulatory authority
• Provincial, Unable expand to
a national base
• Negative Associations with
Blood
• Unable to compete for
attention with national NGOs
• Fantastic Service
• One of the most advanced
blood services globally
• Knowledgeable
• Great training program in
place, Sustain growth
• Sponsorship options, Cape
Town based Companies
• Celebrity endorsement
• Create personal environment
• Linking up with other
compatible NGOs
Key Stakeholders
Competitor Analysis
CANSA
South African Red Cross Society
Heart Foundation of South Africa
AIDS Foundation
South African National Bloods
All competitor NGOs selected are part of the health sector, and
are thus the closest indirect competitors to WPBTS in terms of
exposure and support.
Competitors
Strengths
• Access to more resources
• Established interactive events
• Sponsorship
Weakness
• Lack of educational efforts
• Overshadow smaller NGOs (don’t support)
• Most rely on size of NGO opposed to marketing efforts to gain exposure
• Associated products overshadow cause/identity
Opportunities
• State funding/support
• Product approval recognition
Threats
• People desensitised to NGOs
Competitor SWOT
Insights
Good facilities and staff.
However, the contact points do not link up effectively due to a lack of
effectiveness of the brands media communications.
The brand fails to attain much needed exposure, resulting in blood
donations not being a priority and stand-out point in peoples’ minds.
Insights
• Large amount of people unaware of WPBTS as a brand
• Brand communications go unnoticed
• More inclined to go with someone (bring a buddy)
• Need to be made aware of mobile clinics
• Would prefer if WPBTS came to them
• Want remuneration/recognition for donations
• Want communications on platforms they are active on
• Appreciate the refreshments and freebies
Key Issues
1) How can we craft a stronger identity for the brand?
Why?
Brand goes unnoticed
People don’t always distinguish from SANBS
2) What can we do to build a more focused interactive communications
strategy?
Why?
Communication efforts fail to break through clutter
General public unaware of brand communications
3) How can we rework the brand data infrastructure?
Why?
People have the preconception of having their time wasted
People claim to not have very much time to spare
4) Who could we approach for brand sponsorship or endorsement?
Why?
To help fund brand communications
To align with a like-minded brand/personality to gain more exposure and
increase appeal/credibility
SMART
Objectives
1. To restructure the brand concept by October 2013.
2. To increase brand awareness through the implementation of a more
effective Integrated Brand Communications campaign by January
2014.
3. To increase efficiency of information processing through an online
database by October 2013.
4. To align the brand with a company for sponsorship by September
2014.

• Remove “redness” from background
• Don’t use blood drops
• Follow sponsorship companies on Twitter & make it
known that they are associated with them
• Add more photos of people actively donating
(especially local bloggers and celebs, these
“excursions” must also be blogged)
• Encourage trend of using hashtags when they tweet
after they’ve donated #CTblooddonation
#savinglivestogether
• “Have you seen the Big Red Blood Bus in your area?”
• “The next mobile clinic will be at UCT Upper Campus
