28 October 2010 — It wouldn’t be Halloween without that special little orange UNICEF box. This year, UNICEF is celebrating it’s 60th anniversary trick or treating.
While I wasn’t around back then, I do remember the fun of trick or treating with my orange UNICEF box as a kid. This year, my daughter will be taking her own UNICEF box around the neighborhood. Funds raised will help children around the globe, and that is no trick, but rather a wonderful treat!
10 September 2010 – LOVE American Cancer Society’s just launched campaign with Justin Bieber and other high-profile artists and musicians on http://www.morebirthdays.com– check it out! The concept isn’t new but the revamped campaign and supporters are. Now you can send out birthday greetings from top artists/musicians to your friends and family, and help those fighting cancer too!
Have just sent my daughter a Happy Birthday video message from Justin Bieber. Nothing is cooler than that to a nine-year-old little girl!
Just hope the American Cancer Society’s servers can handle the onslaught of Justin Bieber’s millions of fans logging on. Great campaign that will highlight the organization to a new, fresh audience.
8 June 2010 — Happy World Oceans Day! Unless, of course, you live in the ocean, and then, well, things aren’t so happy these days. World Oceans Day is an official United Nations recognized day to promote the conservation and sustainability of the world’s oceans. Sadly, this year, there is not a lot to celebrate. Millions of gallons of oil continue to flood into the Gulf of Mexico, global fish stocks continue to decline, climate change continues to ravage ocean ecosystems, and nation’s will gather this month to decide whether the world’s great whales should be hunted again. Why is it that while across the globe people are more engaged than ever on social and environmental issues, we continue to treat oceans like dumping grounds and ocean resources like candy for the taking? Let’s hope that we soon learn how to respect and care for all our marine habitats — before we do irreparable damage. Then perhaps we can really celebrate our world’s oceans.

22 February 2010 — So often cause campaigns are driven by negative messaging. A new UK seatbelt campaign PSA, “Embrace Life,” takes a different and powerful approach that has generated a global response. By focusing on the positive outcomes of wearing a seatbelt rather than the blood and gore of not wearing one, the PSA’s producer/director has hit a home run. This CNN piece tells the story:
(1 February 2010) — We at Chanler Communications were shocked by the earthquake devastation suffered by Haiti and its people on January 12th. As an organization that is committed to communicating and doing “good,” we knew we had to get involved in any way we could. We have chosen to support two key international organizations working tirelessly on the ground in Haiti — Partners in Health and UNICEF (the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). Both organizations have a long history of working in Haiti and were some of the first responders to the disaster.
In addition to making financial contributions to both organizations, we have also become personally involved. Chanler Communication President Jennifer Ferguson-Mitchell’s husband Nicholas is now on the ground in Port-au-Prince, Haiti as part of the UNICEF team. He is setting up and managing the organization’s emergency response base camp, and will be there for an initial three-month period. We are all very proud of him and humbled to be able to be a part of the urgent reponse.
Please join us in supporting the critical work of Partners in Health and UNICEF by clicking on the links below.
1 January 2010 — Happy New Year to all our wonderful partners, clients and friends! We’ve gotta feeling that 2010 is gonna be a good, good year. We are looking forward to continuing to help you communicate the “good” you do!
