In 2018, a total of 1,708,921 new cancer cases were reported in the United States, 845,972 among females (CDC.gov ) "In the United States, age-adjusted breast-cancer mortality is about 40% higher among Black women than among non-Hispanic White women (27.7 vs. 20.0 deaths per 100,000 women from 2014 through 2018), despite a lower incidence among Black women (125.8 vs. 139.2 cases per 100,000 women) (NEJM.org ). With breast cancer being so common and seeing her mom be a 20+ year survivor, Dafina Morris felt compelled to combine her affinity for fashion, beauty and decor with a cause that mattered greatly to her. In 2017, Dafina launched non-profit organization Power In Pink--a black-owned non-profit organization that serves as a hub for minority women to enjoy empowering events, engage with educational content and share experiences regarding a variety of health issues. In October of that year, she curated a fashion show to raise breast cancer awareness. The following year, she desired more exposure for the show and its cause. Our Approach Within 3 months, BRVC transformed Dafina's mission an single event into a brand that could be supported after the fashion show ended. We spent the first month auditing Power In Pink's existing presence and implementing brand development (i.e. narrative framing & key messaging development, website design & consulting, logo consulting, etc). Then we assisted with content production and engagement activity on social media—primarily for the fashion show, but as well as for the Power In Pink brand, generally. Specifically, for the fashion show, we launched a campaign using #PowerInPinkFashionShowII to highlight promotional flyers, partnerships, sales/discounts and reposts from those involved and/or supporting the event. We also launched the organization's newsletter. With messaging solidified and social media actively marketing the show, we were able to use PR to increase awareness in local media, influencers and sponsors; as well as assist event coordination.

The festival included a primary art exhibit (which opened on August 26, 2023), satellite events, and a Summit (held on October 14, 2023). To promote the festival as a whole and each individual event, and ultimately to contribute to ticket sales and attendance, BRVC recommended a PR campaign from July to October 2023, followed by the distribution of a press release. Our Approach Phase 1: Audit BRVC conducted a competitor coverage analysis and assessed past media coverage, along with the online representation of the brand. Phase 2: Strategic Communications Plan The plan was designed to introduce the 6th Dimension Festival, promote individual events, and highlight the festival’s peak event — the summit — to drive sales and attendance. The core narratives focused on Afrofuturism, the festival’s program, and creating activism. The goal was to secure an average of 2 earned media placements per month, based on findings from the audit. Phase 3: Implementation & Analysis BRVC executed media outreach targeting local tourism and news, national arts and culture outlets, BIPOC interests, and education and activism. Additionally, influencers and key industry leaders were engaged to help promote the festival. Our Impact & Client Milestones BRVC aimed for a minimum of 2 earned media placements (articles) per month, and the PR efforts greatly exceeded this goal: August 2023: With 58 pitches sent, BRVC achieved 44 press mentions, including 34 articles and 10 mentions on online event calendars. This resulted in 1,600% more articles than the goal (34 articles vs. 2) and 77.27% of all press mentions being articles. September 2023: In this month, 13 pitches were sent, resulting in 86 press mentions, 8 of which were articles. This marked a 300% increase over the goal of 2 articles (8 articles vs. 2). Of all press mentions, 9.30% were articles. October 2023: Continuing the momentum, 13 pitches led to 11 press mentions, 9 of which were articles. This represented a 350% increase over the goal of 2 articles (9 articles vs. 2). 81.82% of all press mentions were articles.
