Expanding mainstream traction with economic rights
We partnered with the Center for Economic and Social Rights for an innovative social media experiment to expand support outside of the usual echo chamber.

AUDIENCE MAPPING
We used open source polling and trends data to map the maximum persuadable audience instead of the audience that's already engaged.
We identified cultural affinity, digital behaviors, values and current interests – not demographics alone.
POSITIONING
We analysed the pro-rights landscape, including CESR'S competitors messages, current audience perceptions and barriers to engagement.
And we came up with a fresh position and tone to energise a new audience with the idea that CESR is actually creating the change they need.
TARGETING INNOVATION
We turned off targeting automation and AI optimisation for our new videos (but left them on for the old video).
We created two new target audiences based on our mapping of the persuadable mainstream - the people who could be with us, but are less engaged and therefore don't get NGO messages served to them by the platforms.
Logiq Media redesigned the messaging strategy to win interest from a disengaged mainstream audience:
Connected with people's amazement at the pace of the tech change, and linked that to the slower pace of social change
Optimized message design for digital – shorter, punchier, clear hook – without changing the core message
Connected CESR’s mission with the everyone’s #1 priority - their kids
To quantify our impact on both the echo chamber and the mainstream, we used an innovative experimental methodology:
We tested CESR's original video against our new videos with both the old and the new audiences we mapped
We compared the cost-per-engagement of the different media with the different audiences
And we optimized engagement with most the impactful audience / message combinations
More mainstream
engagement
Equal echo chamber engagement
No increase in media spend
REDUCE POLARISATION / increase consensus
The results show it’s possible to significantly expand mainstream engagement – up to 33% – with pro-rights content & ideas
MAINTAin support with the base
And the equal cost-per-engagement with the echo chamber shows we can grow into the mainstream while still keeping the base onside
increased COST effectiveness
Overall, that means we can increase macro social impact AND expand our potential donor pool without needing to spend more on distribution
