Mind & Media’s coordinated bilingual campaign repaired a government/public communication breakdown through clear messages and a media strategy designed to reach multiple targeted audiences.

Panama Canal Treaty Implementation Plan Agency consulted Mind & Media on a serious challenge: a communication breakdown between Panama’s government and people about the US Army’s environmental and public safety efforts on former ranges being returned to Panama.

Services provided:

  • Gap analysis
  • Audience analysis
  • Print design
  • Video production

Content areas:

  • Environmental preservation
  • Endangered species
  • Military base transfer
  • Unexploded ordnance (UXO)

Our communication analysts identified the source of the breakdown: a cultural gap in the materials used to communicate with the public. Mind & Media developed a coordinated, comprehensive public awareness campaign to:

  • Identify audiences and assess their communication needs and abilities
  • Create clear, audience-appropriate messages
  • Disseminate messages in a way that audiences could understand and act on

To carry out the campaign, Mind & Media created:

  • Branding language and visuals
  • Easy-to-understand iconic signs and publications
  • Print materials in English and Spanish
  • Public service messages for Panamanian radio and television (in Spanish)
  • Videos for widespread distribution (in English and Spanish)

The public awareness campaign Mind & Media created closed the gap between the Panamanian government and its people through clear messages and a media strategy designed to reach multiple diverse audiences.
