  Sustaining HIV Vaccine Communications and Outreach:
As leaders and advocates in the HIV/AIDS community, your organizations will remain vital to the continued support of HIV vaccine and prevention research. You are well aware of the great strides scientists and researchers are making in labs around the world. Those efforts would not be possible without the dedication of individuals like you, whose credible voices will continue to inform and educate communities even after NHVREI. Whether through presentations, events, op-eds, or tweets, your trusted voices are critical to ensuring that accurate, timely, and culturally appropriate information reaches key communities and constituents, particularly key influencers and those most impacted by the epidemic. This toolkit was designed to provide you with a variety of resources and samples to assist you in your communications and outreach activities. We hope you will refer to this toolkit as you continue to engage your constituents, communities, and collaborators in a meaningful dialogue about HIV vaccine research. We thank you again for your commitment to these efforts and look forward to following you—in print, online, through the airwaves, or on mobile devices—in the years to come.

These messages can be used to develop a variety of communications materials, including fact sheets, talking points, and op-eds. Key influencers– Trusted leaders and organizations that can influence the thoughts or actions of individuals and communities. Key influencers can include potential funders, HIV/AIDS service organizations, local and regional philanthropy groups, educational institutions, local businesses, community and civic organizations, minority advocacy groups, human rights organizations and affinity groups. Stakeholders or third party organization– A person or entity with an interest in an organization’s success in delivering its products, services, or messages. For example, achieving increased public awareness and knowledge about HIV vaccine research in the case of NHVREI. Strategic communications plan - A strategic communications plan is a written statement that provides direction for all communications activities. The plan should include the goal, objectives, and target audience, understanding of the needs and perceptions of the target population, action steps that should be taken, reasons why your target audiences should be compelled to act, and the benefits to be gained. The plan provides the direction and consistency for all messages and materials that follow. It often calls for the implementation of tactics such as research, message concepts, materials creation, traditional media (e.g., TV, newspapers, radio), new media (see Web 2.0) stakeholder outreach, and evaluation and tracking. Media Outreach Terms Audio News Release (ANR) – A scripted audio recording that is used to promote a product, organization, idea or event on local and national radio stations. ANRs can range in length but are typically recorded in 30, 60 and 90 second intervals.

This piece is typically one page in length and can be distributed to the media, organizational members, interested parties and/or potential funders.

Typical boilerplates include mission statements, safety warnings, copyright statements and responsibility disclaimers. Columnist – A writer or editor of a regular feature for publication.

They tend to have a distinct “voice” and often express their opinions. Deskside briefing – A meeting between journalist(s) and organizational leaders to pitch a story or idea and access credible spokespersons. Briefings occur in close proximity to a reporter/editor’s office, offering convenience for publication staff – especially in light of media budget cuts. The goal of these meetings is to get journalists to consider an organization or key spokespersons as “go-to” sources on a special topic area or issue. Earned media – Publication of a story or article that was placed as a result of proactive pitching. Fact sheet – A resource itemizing information pertinent to an organization, issue or cause. Letter to the Editor (LTE) – A timely letter written on behalf of an individual or organization in response to a recently published story or article.

Through the consumption of media, large key audiences can become better informed about issues and ultimately help support an organization/focus and influence behavior and action.

Media tracking helps organizations evaluate whether their outreach campaigns have been successful.

The social networking program foursquare uses geolocation to track users as they change destinations and meet up with friends around their community.

They can also be used at large conventions and meetings to remind attendees the exact location of a booth, panel, lecture, etc- especially if these are not made available beforehand.
