Case study:

Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) in collaboration with the World Bank and African Road Safety Observatory

Creative Cycle teamed with the World Bank Group to build a branded social media campaign serving as a call to action for road safety advocacy in Africa.

Challenge

Part of the World Bank, the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) promotes sustainable solutions to improve road safety in Africa. In collaboration with the African Road Safety Observatory, the client created a storytelling contest inviting citizens across Africa to share accounts of their own grassroots solutions for improving road safety in their communities. The aim was to foster knowledge sharing to inspire more communities to adopt adequate safety measures. Winners would be invited to share their experiences at SSATP’s Annual General Meeting, giving them a chance to advocate for change in front of Africa’s top transport decision-makers. SSATP and Creative Cycle developed a social media campaign and visual brand elements to promote this initiative.

Solution

We held a workshop to become thoroughly versed in SSATP’s mission, audiences, and vision so we could effectively tell their story through design. Our teams then identified all of the necessary brand elements for the campaign.

Following this discovery phase, we worked together on ideation. Creative Cycle engaged SSATP in a two-way conversation to build a dashboard of ideas, define requirements and deliverables, and identify the proper tools and communication channels. Once we established cohesion and consensus, our teams had a solid foundation to begin execution.

Creative Cycle and SSATP engaged in a multistage collaboration that allowed us to become intimately familiar with the initiative.

Relevance

Within three weeks of its July 2019 launch, the initiative had attracted more than 100 entries and garnered nearly 11 million social media impressions — with zero advertising costs. Furthermore, by immersing ourselves in SSATP’s mission, Creative Cycle was able to act as an extension of SSTAP’s team and elevate their story through visual design. Combined with a sound social media strategy, this resulted in a highly effective, visually unified campaign that quickly and cost-effectively reached millions.
