“There’s an attitude within
the province to accept that

ride in and save us. They’re
not, and they won’t,” Michael

Project Get Loud started as a birthday wish when a young girl decided she wanted to dedicate
her “Sweet 16” to organizing a Music for Mental Health fundraiser after her mother was sexually
assaulted and the realities of the “Mental Health System” and the need for louder action
towards social improvement became apparent.

It’s time we GET LOUD about issues effecting Youth the most.

Nova Scotia’s Youth are in trouble.

With alarming statistics coming in from all areas like mental health, education, physical fitness, and
employment rates, the younger generation is facing a slew of challenges in the face of economic turmoil. It has
become apparent they feel invisible; frustrated, and too many are suffering, often making ill choices in silence.

We feel it’s time to get LOUD.

Getting loud reduces stigmas and raises awareness around mental illness, autism, physical differences, gender
identities by hosting local music, entertainment events, and fundraisers for various causes and charities. We
help connect people to various organizations in their communities to lend their hand towards whatever cause is
in their hearts.
With volunteerism at a low and jobs becoming robotic at a high, encouraging youth engagement has become
more important now than ever.

Over the last 20 years, an average of 1,300 more youth have left Nova Scotia than have arrived each year. Had
Nova Scotia brought in as many youth as have left in the last two decades, we would have an additional 25,000
young people to work here. Many contend the lack of workforce/career attachment is the factor driving youth
out-migration in our province.

PROJECT GET LOUD PRESENTS

October 2018

Following the success of the first few Get Loud Music For Mental Health fundraisers at the local high school,
the immediate feedback was for a bigger, more community inclusive event. The idea of the Fall Fair was
established to extend our reach to
• Continue to raise awareness around important social issues to our youth
• Reduce stigmas around mental health
• Increase accessibility to community resources to students
• Empower youth to become more socially responsible
• Help youth develop employable skills through event participation
• Strengthen the relationships of youth in different schools
• Give back to the community we all call “home”
• Encourage youth to create a Nova Scotia they want to stay in

Fair organizers did their very best to incorporate the suggestions and feedback received into this upcoming
event. We will always strive for continuous improvement and finding more ways to help Youth, in Nova
Scotia and beyond know they are not alone, they have a voice, and it’s time they use it to GET LOUD!

Target Market

As with planning any event, we always ask “who’s going to come?!”
From analyzing the participation, attendance and feedback from our previous events to developing a targeted Fall
Fair marketing plan, we anticipate this to be our biggest and best event ever!

Centrally located on Park Street in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, the venue offers a spacious field for vendors and
staging, accessible parking at the gate and overflow parking just steps away . Our location is easy to find, just
minutes off the highway, close to all amenities, and in case of emergency the hospital and local Police are just
across the street.

Our marketing plan is designed to incorporate three stages, with three levels, in three geographical zones.

The Introduction Print Red Zone
The Lead Up and PreSales Radio/Digital Green Zone
The Market Capture Online/Social Media Blue Zone

The bulk of event staff and
volunteers will be sourced
from the local high schools;
North Nova Education Centre
and Northumberland
Regional High School with
participation by Pictou
Landing First Nation School,
Pictou Academy, East Pictou
Middle School, Trenton
Middle School and a
presentation by local
elementary students.

We will see the largest attendance from the surrounding towns in the “Red Zone” where the initial Get Loud
initiatives will take place. The secondary group, the “Green Zone” will still have a strong presence as local
marketing strategies focus on these outlying and rural areas. In the final “Blue Zone” we expect minimum 100+
attendees to travel for the event as we have brought in talent and vendors from these areas to better appeal to a
wider audience.

The Fall Fair is divided into two main events; the 10:00am – 5:00pm All Inclusive, Family Friendly Fall Fair,
celebrating Fall Traditions and Community Spirit and 5:00pm-10:00pm the Get Loud Stage Show is geared
towards the high school and older demographic. Persons of all ages and identities will find something they love
throughout the duration of the Fair.

Honoring the recommendations made after our last event, this year we will have a “Safe Space” assembled on
site for families with autistic children; a comfortable breastfeeding area for women; baby changing station,
persons with high anxiety, seniors with mobility issues, or anyone who might find they need a break. Often
parents with autistic children or younger children find they have to “leave the fence” if a child gets ”too loud” or
may seem to be misbehaving. Our goal is to create a safe spot with visual barriers to the fair and surrounding
area, so no parent or person feels they have to leave site grounds, and persons with disabilities can feel
welcomed and comfortable.

Marketing Plan

Community Inclusion
Word of mouth is the BEST marketing tool!! By ensuring success in our pervious events and aligning the Get Loud Fall Fair
with local key players, having local celebrity attendance, and partnering with recognized and respected brands we aim to
get people talking about our events and what we are doing to empower youth and increase social responsibility.

In Schools
The Project Get Loud Head Committee is based out of North Nova High School in New Glasgow. These youth demonstrate
superior leadership and strive to host events that are designed to be as youth driven as possible with students doing the
planning and organizing of the events, the set up and preparation, the marketing, the data analysis, the operations of the
events from running the audio visual equipment, volunteering, to performing on stage. Participation has proven to offer
many rewards;

• Increases self esteem
• Career Skill Development
• Pursuing passions
• Making friends
• Building support network
• Community Involvement
• Responsible social activism

With such a strong background in a school environment with proven, measurable success Project Get Loud will be present
in every high school and junior high within the Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education (CCRCE) reaching almost
20,000 students in grades Primary to 12 in 67 schools.

Radio Sponsor
As a sponsor East Coast FM will include our event in the “Community Cruiser” and have a booth on site to broadcast live
from the event with their signal reaching over 100,000 people.

If you’re looking to stretch your marketing budget, here are 10 reasons to sponsor an event.

1.) Brand Visibility
Sponsorships put your brand visuals in front of large audience. If you plan promotional giveaways, a huge number
of people will be toting your branded swag.

2.) Targeted Marketing

3.) Consumer Perception
On the other hand, customers form positive opinions when your business is tied to high-profile events. Customers
will assume your business is reliable and reputable if you can sponsor other organizations.
In a 2016 survey, the Event Marketing Institute found that 74 percent of consumers are more likely to buy products
after exposure to a branded event marketing experience.

4.) Efficient Lead Generation
Think about the amount of time you normally spend hunting for 10 qualified leads. How about 20, 50, or 100? Not
only do events bring you a host of compatible customers, but they also show the human side of your business.

Forming an emotional connection is half the battle of building brand loyalty. By attending in person, you can learn
about customers, promote your products, and build a mailing list.

5.) Face to Face Consumer Sales

6.) Community Goodwill

7.) Content Strategy

8.) Business Relationships

9.) Return on Investment

10.) Show Youth Consumers you CARE!
