2 Step 1: The Purpose and Dissemination of Communication Products
I am a regular user of X, and I inadvertently fell upon a communication product by RevFit that changed me tremendously. This communications tool employed a pull strategy as its main communication strategy. The brand utilized an influencer to spark curiosity and foster spontaneous engagement. They endeared the audience greatly and cultivated the desire to
examine their offerings through this tactic.
The framing of the communication product was also well executed because it illustrated
the area the fitness application was looking to improve. RevFit differentiated itself as a novel,
personalized option, unlike the one-size-fits-all approach that many current fitness apps follow.
This message aligned with the mission of the organization to facilitate fitness that is enjoyable,
tailored, and comfortable.
Regarding tonality, the brand influencer adopted a friendly voice that made one feel
comforted and heard. The brand personality sounded like a knowledgeable and appealing
companion to fitness, rather than a cold or intimidating expert. Also, the tone was upbeat, which
triggered a sense of expectation and eagerness to try new things. The language was direct and
simple, without any technical jargon that could perturb an ordinary reader. Moreover, the RevFit
communications product incorporated short and conversational sentences as well as terms young
adults like me could relate to. This approach style promoted an inviting atmosphere and made
one feel that they could relate to the product without feeling alienated. In general, the product
stood out by featuring the elements related to the brand. The digital campaign targeted the ideal
customer and involved a pull strategy including a six-second video. Consequently, I not only
became interested in checking them out but also became one of their most loyal app users.

Step 2: News Releases and Bios
The Central California SPCA proudly announces the arrival of Ellie Tsai and Oliver
Cloyd on its Senior Leadership team, who will be a fresh source of experience in community
building and administration. Tsai, who has worked many years in management, and Cloyd, a
passionate animal rescue expert, will start work right after they complete the onboarding
orientation. This appointment comes at a critical moment for the organization which has recently
been in the search for dynamic individuals to lead their fundraising campaigns and community
programs. Tsai and Cloyd, who have demonstrated a strong commitment to community building
and cultivating sustainable partnerships, are well-fitted to lead SPCA to the next level of
comprehensive care and streamlined services to the pet owners of Central California. The
expertise Tsai brings in management and the strategic ability of Cloyd as a large-scale events
coordinator is expected to be assets for SPCA to develop programs that will lead to the
introduction of community events and donation and volunteering initiatives.
The Central California SPCA, despite having strong relationships with animal supporters,
still suffers from a low level of social media engagement coming from its client base. Therefore,
the volunteers’ numbers and charitable donations are severely limited which has resulted in
decreased capacity of the organization to handle its core duties. Moreover, these fragile
circumstances can cause big problems for the SPCA, especially its rescue operations. This
certainly would be an injustice to all the animals of Central California that rely totally on this
charitable organization to ensure their safety and well-being. Ergo, it is imperative that SPCA
steps in quickly to solve this issue. Failure to move with speed can be catastrophic to the city.
The CCSPCA is a nonprofit group that is devoted to protecting the welfare of animals
through a humane approach and through improving the quality of life of the animals and
4
people’s lives. Through the leadership and dedication of the volunteers and staff, the S.P.C.A
offers a wide variety of services at a low cost, such as adoption programs, affordable veterinary
care, spaying & neutering, and educational services, to the community at large. The SPCA does
not only offer foster homes as shelters but also utilizes cutting-edge facilities to rehabilitate
neglected, abused, and beaten animals to enable them to be adopted permanently. The goal that
Central California SPCA is to motivate people to be better pet owners and to raise the living
standards of animals.
Ellie Tsai Bio
Ellie Tsai has been a dedicated animal welfare activist for over 10 years. This is because
she is a strong advocate for animals in general. Having served as a nonprofit manager, she has
organized many successful projects that are focused on the well-being of those animals that have
found themselves homeless and abandoned. Being tireless in her endeavor to form stable
associations with various stakeholders, she is today seen as a leading voice in the animal rights
movement all over the country. Hence, she brings critical expertise and leadership charisma to
the Central California SPCA.
Oliver Cloyd Bio
Oliver Cloyd is an animal rescue crusader whose zeal spreads beyond animal welfare.
Cloyd has held different leadership levels in diverse community charities and community events
that have engaged local support for animal welfare causes. His ability to unite people from
different backgrounds and to stimulate a willingness to act at a communal level has largely
contributed to the increasing awareness and shaping of collective accountability. Cloyd’s
ingenious fundraising and event planning strategy has led to remarkable progress, aiding animal
shelters to widen their influence and help more animals in need.

Step 3: Images and Other Media
Ellie Tsai
The image for Ellie Tsai’s bio that I am proposing captures the very sense of her devotion
to animals and interest in their welfare. Portraying her in an outdoor setting in an outfit that
radiates a simple and authentic allure, reflects the goal of the organization to develop a humane
environment for every creature. Her smile matched with a handshake she gives to an animal
activist group member, signifies the partnership nature of her position. This image is more than
just a portrait, it depicts the solidarity and empathy which happen to exist in her job description.
While a traditional headshot serves as a source of information, this conceptual approach creates a
more authentic and engrossing vision of Tsai’s character, helping viewers to connect with her
directly and join the cause she supports.
Oliver Cloyd
The selection of Oliver Cloyd’s bio photo, which combines his strong corporate skills
with a community-minded approach, reflects who he is as a candidate. Portraying him in a suit
that looks exquisite is the symbol of his ability to deal with businesses and form long-lasting ties.
On the other hand, the music headphones that holds in his hand are a sign of how he can connect
with the young people and bond. This look was inspired by the need for the leader to appear
professional and also look like an individual who can be approached by the targeted public,
primarily millennials and Gen Z. As compared to the standard corporate headshot photograph,
this concept image makes Cloyd’s true strengths that he demonstrates while leading the animal
rescue efforts visible.

Discussion
By means of implementing relevant communication instruments, I carefully constructed a
storyline that is related to the appointment of Ellie Tsai and Oliver Cloyd to the Central
California SPCA Senior Management team. I started by using a hook, where I talked about their
immense experience and desire to take care of animals by showing their passion for animal
welfare. Through narrative arcs, I brought to life the problem of poor social media engagement
and the critical leadership crisis in the organization.
The visual depiction of poorly conditioned animals and the prospect of losing the rescues
fueled the sense of crisis. In forming the narrative of Tsai and Cloyd, I utilized both their
backgrounds, accentuating Tsai’s resilience and Cloyd’s activist tactics, to convey their
credentials for the positions. A combination of these elements was then meticulously woven
together, in turn, to aid in evoking empathy and fostering action from the targeted audiences,
who in turn would become rallying points of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
