Knowledge is Power!
Today accentmarketing announced the launch of the Federal Citizen Information Center’s new public service announcement campaign promoting the government’s official information sources in Spanish: GobiernoUSA.gov and 1 (800) FED-INFO. GobiernoUSA.gov provides easy-to-search access to thousands of official U.S. local, state, and federal government Web sites in Spanish that detail available government benefits and services. Those who do not have access to the internet or prefer to speak to an information specialist in Spanish can call 1 (800) FED-INFO (1-800-333-4636).
The PSA campaign, titled “Perdido” (Lost), consists of television, print, and radio spots created in Spanish that will be running for one year. Available in different lengths (60, 30, 20, 25 and 10 seconds), the campaign features a floating balloon character to illustrate how lost someone can feel, particularly if they are new to the United States when they try to understand or obtain government services and information. Upon coming across the GobiernoUSA.gov Website or phone number, the balloon man transforms to a human being, indicating that with this information he is now “grounded” or “enlightened.” The transformation to a human tells the viewer that with the right information you no longer feel lost. The ‘Lost’ concept is also carried through radio and print executions.
“As a Hispanic integrated communications agency, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to develop campaigns that will inform our Hispanic community on how they can gain access to information on the services the US government can provide them and their families as Hispanics settle and thrive in the US,” said Maria Romero, President, accentmarketing.
