The Libraries Yes! Campaign:
Innovation in place-based advocacy
Multnomah County Library
Levy Campaign, Spring 2012
Background
• On January 5, the Multnomah County Board of
Commissioners voted unanimously to place a renewal of the
Library Levy on the May 15, 2012 Primary Election ballot. The
three year extension replaces the current levy which expires
June 30, 2012.
• 65% of the money it takes for the library to operate comes
from the Library Levy.
• Winning Mark (a consulting firm) approached Libraries Yes!,
the library levy campaign committee about running a
campaign for “Yes on 26-125.” The library was receptive.
• Winning Mark created a place-based campaign strategy to
support the Library Levy renewal to kick off in March 2012.
Assets and background
• Libraries are well-loved and respected in the
community
• Libraries are well-reviewed on place-based networks
• No one is managing those reviews
• The library is not interacting with reviewers or
members who check into place-based networks
• Large number of inactivated fans to pull from
Primary goals
1. Increase awareness about measure 26-125, the Library
Levy measure
2. Promote the library system itself
3. Build a base of engaged library supporters for the future
from people who self-identified as supporters
Secondary goals
1. Long tail of positive reviews and community building
2. Higher SEO for the libraries (specifically with Google
Places)
“Without any formal strategy by the libraries, there is so
much proactive support on the networks of people who
love the brand” – Jeff Lennan, Winning Mark
Launched advocacy campaign site
http://librariesyes.com
The Ask:
Review and rate libraries on Yelp, Foursquare,
Google Places, and Facebook Places
http://www.librariesyes.com/
Developed “how to” videos and tips
specific to each network
http://www.librariesyes.com/show-your-library-some-love/yelp-tips/
Platform-specific tips on website
After a check-in or review,
organizers would:
Message through Facebook
Message and connect on Yelp
Friend on FourSquare
One goal was for the campaign to be
personal
It is critical to use the networks as they are meant to
be used. The second you try to mold it to your own
whims, they will cry ‘foul.’
- Aly Sneider, Winning Mark
“We wanted to connect with people who
took the time to say they loved their
libraries”
1. 1,000+ identified supporters through the campaign
2. 300-400 people took an action to say they loved their
library across the different place-based networks
3. The campaign then had over 100 conversations with
those who took an action in order to bring them deeper
into the campaign
4. 15 volunteers from this group came into the office to
work on the campaign
Facebook community grew the fastest:
5,000 fans in 6 weeks!

Google Places strategy: reviews are
great for SEO

Facebook Places strategy: check-ins
and recommendations

Yelp
Targeted reviewers who had reviewed the libraries, and
reached out to Yelp Elite Squad. A few Elite Squad
members helped with the campaign, and one member
was very helpful in connecting to the local Yelp
community manager.

Campaign Lessons and Takeaways
1. Yelp is not optimized for public advocacy.
2. Make the campaign fit the culture of the networks, not the other
way around.
3. Organizing is time-tested. You need to approach it from an
organizing mindset with a plan for IDs, activation, and metrics.
4. Google Places is the largest network, with the lowest network
barrier to entry, making it very accessible to all.
5. Because so many people were already on Facebook, asking them
to write recommendations was easily accomplished.
6. About Yelp Elite users: These guys know more about the network
than we do. Ask them what they think. Learn from them. Also, you
can be fairly certain that Elite users are active on other social
networks.

Libraries Yes! Place-based Advocacy campaign

  • 1. The Libraries Yes! Campaign: Innovation in place-based advocacy Multnomah County Library Levy Campaign, Spring 2012
  • 2. Background • On January 5, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to place a renewal of the Library Levy on the May 15, 2012 Primary Election ballot. The three year extension replaces the current levy which expires June 30, 2012. • 65% of the money it takes for the library to operate comes from the Library Levy. • Winning Mark (a consulting firm) approached Libraries Yes!, the library levy campaign committee about running a campaign for “Yes on 26-125.” The library was receptive. • Winning Mark created a place-based campaign strategy to support the Library Levy renewal to kick off in March 2012.
  • 3. Assets and background • Libraries are well-loved and respected in the community • Libraries are well-reviewed on place-based networks • No one is managing those reviews • The library is not interacting with reviewers or members who check into place-based networks • Large number of inactivated fans to pull from
  • 4. Primary goals 1. Increase awareness about measure 26-125, the Library Levy measure 2. Promote the library system itself 3. Build a base of engaged library supporters for the future from people who self-identified as supporters Secondary goals 1. Long tail of positive reviews and community building 2. Higher SEO for the libraries (specifically with Google Places)
  • 5. “Without any formal strategy by the libraries, there is so much proactive support on the networks of people who love the brand” – Jeff Lennan, Winning Mark
  • 6. Launched advocacy campaign site http://librariesyes.com
  • 7. The Ask: Review and rate libraries on Yelp, Foursquare, Google Places, and Facebook Places http://www.librariesyes.com/
  • 8. Developed “how to” videos and tips specific to each network http://www.librariesyes.com/show-your-library-some-love/yelp-tips/
  • 10. After a check-in or review, organizers would: Message through Facebook Message and connect on Yelp Friend on FourSquare One goal was for the campaign to be personal
  • 11. It is critical to use the networks as they are meant to be used. The second you try to mold it to your own whims, they will cry ‘foul.’ - Aly Sneider, Winning Mark
  • 12. “We wanted to connect with people who took the time to say they loved their libraries” 1. 1,000+ identified supporters through the campaign 2. 300-400 people took an action to say they loved their library across the different place-based networks 3. The campaign then had over 100 conversations with those who took an action in order to bring them deeper into the campaign 4. 15 volunteers from this group came into the office to work on the campaign
  • 13. Facebook community grew the fastest: 5,000 fans in 6 weeks!
  • 17. Offline supports online: 80 people took photos with the “My Library” heart around Portland
  • 18. Offline: Library Lovers Unite event
  • 19. Posted My Library photos to Instagram
  • 20. Yes for Our Libraries Foursquare: over 200 friends in four weeks!
  • 23. Google Places strategy: reviews are great for SEO http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=180594445063 27362687&hl=en
  • 24. Facebook Places strategy: check-ins and recommendations https://www.facebook.com/pages/Central- Library/113189438696130
  • 25. Yelp Targeted reviewers who had reviewed the libraries, and reached out to Yelp Elite Squad. A few Elite Squad members helped with the campaign, and one member was very helpful in connecting to the local Yelp community manager.
  • 30. Library Levy passes by over 4:1 margin! http://www.portlandtribune.com/news/story.php?story_id=133713781520038800
  • 31. Post-vote FB thanks: 292 Likes and 45 Shares
  • 32. Campaign Lessons and Takeaways 1. Yelp is not optimized for public advocacy. 2. Make the campaign fit the culture of the networks, not the other way around. 3. Organizing is time-tested. You need to approach it from an organizing mindset with a plan for IDs, activation, and metrics. 4. Google Places is the largest network, with the lowest network barrier to entry, making it very accessible to all. 5. Because so many people were already on Facebook, asking them to write recommendations was easily accomplished. 6. About Yelp Elite users: These guys know more about the network than we do. Ask them what they think. Learn from them. Also, you can be fairly certain that Elite users are active on other social networks.
