7. News ad value for the two-week period was more than $2.4 million
Media Coverage
News ad value for the two-week period was more than $2.4 million
Lt. Blue = Television (42%)
Green = Cable/Satellite program (13%)
Pink = Wire Service (10%)
Orange = Newspaper (9%)
Purple = Online, news & business (8%)
Yellow = Cable/Satellite network (6%)
2009 Data gathered in-house using VOCUS and TV Eyes. Does not reflect total news buy value…as not all capture. The $2.4 Million of FREE, positive, coverage is actually MUCH more.
The coverage area also does not include our international reach. The foreign media hits were not able to be captured given our limited ability at the Region. But this is a good SNAPSHOT.
Press coverage wasn’t just limited to northeastern media markets. News circulation that we could track amounted to more than 29 million people

8. Embark Program In 2010: Emarks included RO2N, RO1N and POS.
Invitation letters and embark forms mailed to 250 individuals.
Processed over 150 forms from VIP/media.
Processed NROTC, Sea Cadets & USMC Poolee – 190+ nominees.
Developed launch plan - working with ESG-2 Air Ops.
Embarked 33 media reps; including 18 members of the Foreign Press Center.
Some Key Influencers/targets include: ESPN Executives (to build on that relationship for future NY events and Fleet Weeks); Foreign Press Center media; work with JAG Corps to support targeted recruiting efforts with law students in NYC; SONY productions; other local and national media; some Navy League DV’s; some CEO’s. We target CEO’s from Crain’s New York Business for invites - not just to embark, but to host their employees for private DV tours as well.

Chaplain works with the Mayor’s office on several visits and outreach efforts. HOWEVER, Public Affairs has established outreach and comrel initiatives with NY Blood Center, Boys & Girls Clubs (each ship had a Flag in 2009); worked with schools on a poster contest in 2010 that we will build on, and more. Great teamwork with NRD NY, USMC and USCG. Navy Band is critical/very visible and absolute pleasure to work with.
Would like to see more US Navy Air demo’s/statics in – and partner more with Marine Corps on aviation outreach.

14. ONR Work cooperatively with ONR on static displays and news peg
Displays/exhibits on the pier

Space can be limiting and logistically challenging on the ship, but ONR is key component to the static displays and showcasing some of our current, and FURTURE technologies.

15. SOE Managed by Public Affairs 2010 supported over 270 events
Weekly Drumbeat Meeting to review – Thursday
Work closely with JAG – ethics review; Strike Group on approval and execution
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS – Some may say this is NOT a key Public Affairs Function. We are a victim of our success. However, PA is intimately aware of EVERY single event and work VERY closely with JAG and the Strike Group on EVERY one. This is tedious and a time consuming task….but it helps when knowing what to cover, when to cover, how to cover, what’s important and keeps PAO finger on the pulse of entire event…cradle to grave for entire program.

16. Manning Totally integrated Navy, Marine Corps & Coast Guard Team
Set up in five different locations:
Manhattan Command Center
Manhattan Media
Staten Island Command Center
Manhattan Tours
Internal (located opposite end of Command Center)
Total of 98 PAOs to execute FWNY 2010, plus reach back support at CNRMA
Impressive team of professionals in multiple locations 98 may sound like an awful lot of resources…it is. But is necessary to execute the Navy’s largest community relations/community outreach program in a geographically dispersed location.
80=% of FWNY IS Public Affairs

17. Admin Daily Close of Business reports to all DOD stakeholders
Press releases – dozens, in coordination with USMC and USCG.
Released in NY, NJ, CT, Hampton Roads, Mayport, North Carolina (USMC)
PA logistical requirements
PA lodging requirements
Keeps all USN, USMC, USCG Stakeholders in the loop. If we’re working this hard and doing this much…we need to be sure leadership knows.

18. Initiatives/Improved Processes
Purchased ads on Facebook to increase fan base – HUGE success, minimal cost
More collaboration with other services
More Navy aircraft involvement
Working with print media on FWNY pullout schedules. Initial attempt in 2010; more focus in 2011
RESFOR identifying 1655 NOW to assist in all pre-planning
Website challenge – address is too long. .com best
Movie Premiers – coordinate with NAVINFO West
Navy NewsStand – holiday weekend support for stories pushed
Video Hometowners/blogs – wish list
Purchased 2 ads – March 6-12 and April 24-30
Targeted Facebook users in NY (1st ad) then Tri-State area (2nd ad)
Total Cost - $600 total (budgeted $300 for each ad – maximum daily budget $50 ( you pay for number of clicks (fans) you get and set max number for each day. Cost per click was approx. 42 cents
Impressions over 2 weeks – 3,782, who might not have otherwise been aware of what our Navy was doing and the Maritime Strategy Message.
Increased fan base by 1,193.
NOTE: When this team of 98 PAO leave NYC after about 2 weeks of concentrated Public Affairs…the NAVINFO NY office can continue to build on the relationships with our Marine Corp and Coast Guard brethren to tell the Maritime Strategy Story to media and community groups.
