No Matter the Distance PSA highlights military families staying connected
Washington, D.C. (July 27, 2020) – 1st Degree, a Moore company, is proud to announce it has been named PSA agency of record for United Through Reading. 1st Degree will lead strategy, creative, media placement, reporting and analytics to advance the charity’s mission of ensuring military families stay connected “No Matter the Distance”.
“We are excited to support United Through Reading’s new awareness campaign, which is focused on the great work the organization is doing to keep service members and veterans connected with their families during times when they are apart,” said Laura Hunt, president of 1st Degree. “Our PSA platform, PSAdirect, provides the infrastructure, analytics and robust reporting that will help United Through Reading monitor the success of the campaign.”
“There is no more honorable mission than serving our country, and for those with children, the separation of military service can be especially difficult,” said Hunt. United Through Reading unites military families and veterans facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud. The program is offered at more than 200 recording locations worldwide and wherever service members are stationed through the free and secure app.
“We play a pivotal role in ensuring that special bond between parents and children is nurtured, through the love of reading, even when they may be miles apart,” said Dr. Sally Ann Zoll, CEO of United Through Reading. “We believe this awareness campaign powered by the PSAdirect platform will propel our mission forward, allowing us to provide even greater support to service members, veterans, and their families during times of separation.”
1st Degree leveraged its industry-changing, results-focused media marketing platform, PSAdirect, to distribute the campaign. Through multichannel distribution and actionable analytics, PSAdirect delivers targeted, measurable and insightful audience exposure for nonprofit clients.
