Introductory Workshop (Seattle, November 6-7): The two-day introductory workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to community-based social marketing and how it is being applied throughout the world to foster behaviors that protect the environment and foster public health and safety. Those who attend the workshop will learn the five steps of community-based social marketing (selecting behaviors, identifying barriers, developing strategies, conducting pilots, and broad scale implementation) and be exposed to numerous case studies illustrating its use. Each participant will receive a copy of the third edition of Dr. McKenzie-Mohr's book. The introductory workshop is a mandatory prerequisite for the advanced workshop.
Advanced Workshop (Seattle, November 8-9): The two-day advanced workshop provides an in-depth exploration of how community-based social marketing can be used to foster behavioral changes that protect the environment and foster public health and safety. This workshop introduces new research on selecting behaviors, identifying barriers and benefits (including market segmentation, survey sampling and survey creation), applying behavior change tools (including some exciting new developments regarding the use of commitments, norms, prompts, goal setting, and social diffusion), and piloting programs. The workshop also addresses the effective use of social media and websites in the fostering of behavioral changes. Further, participants will also be coached in making community-based social marketing presentations to their agency or community and will receive PowerPoint and Keynote presentations for this purpose. This workshop is restricted to individuals who have previously attended Dr. McKenzie-Mohr's introductory workshop. If you have not yet attended an introductory workshop, you can attend the introductory workshop that precedes the advanced workshop in Seattle and then attend the advanced workshop as well. Reduced rates are available for attending both sessions.
