Through successful viral and grassroots efforts, web traffic to www.digitalfreedom.org increased significantly, and interest has been converted into action, recruiting hundreds of innovators, consumers, and artists alike.
Anxious to bring balance and foresight to the debate over copyright reform, the Consumer Electronics Association, public interest groups and industry trade associations enlisted Qorvis to build and brand the world of digital technologiesas leading the way to the future and to educate consumers, the media and policymakers on the rights of artists and innovators in the digital age.
Qorvis developed a consumer and artist-focused campaign with strong and positive messages surrounding basic digital freedoms, all contained within a digitally-branded web communications outlet. As this issue became heated, Qorvis’ use of both traditional and non-traditional communications strategies to generate “StreetBuzz” and media attention on local, regional and national levels became increasingly important to a successful outcome. The campaign earned significant media coverage in national newspapers like The Wall Street Journal, San Jose Mercury News, and the Los Angeles Times, as well as prominent local coverage across the country.
