The campaign’s first poll showed that Prop A began with support below the two-thirds threshold needed for approval with very little undecided – 62% yes and 32% no. We knew we would need to make a big impact if we were going to move the needle. BMWL Campaigns produced a series of television ads that connected the measure to emergencies in the past, highlighting the need to be prepared for future emergencies. Ads such as “Resilience” conveyed our campaign's key theme of earthquake preparedness and featured real doctors, nurses and EMS professionals that work at the hospital. It also incorporated vintage television footage of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. In addition to creating and producing the ads, our team secured key placements on broadcast, cable, and Over-the-Top (OTT). The TV campaign was further supported by aggressive endorsement and direct mail campaigns that mirrored the campaign theme. As a result, we secured a 79% yes vote to pass the bond and give a strong vote of confidence for investments in public health and emergency services.
