NJCASA (NJ Coalition Against Sexual
Assault) was launched in January of 2000, when NJ's 21 rape-crisis
centers, which
had been
in
existence
for over 20 years, finally got
the funding needed to open a central headquarters, hire an executive
director and begin a strategic public education campaign. After interviewing
other candidates, the NJCASA team determined that CIIC was most qualified
to take on the task of introducing the agency's mission throughout
the Garden State. To that end, we have generated artistically-rendered
transit-system posters, brochures, billboards and other means of "spreading
the word." Moreover, we have created strategic radio and TV PSAs
-- and followed up to ensure that they are being utilized by radio
and TV stations throughout the state. We have also produced numerous
press releases and pitch letters, the result of which is that we have
secured interviews for NJCASA's spokespersons on TV, radio and in print.
Our outreach has been so effective that we have even secured placements
outside the state, including half-hour segment on CBS, WPIX, WABC and
more.
