EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The main idea of this proposal is to initiate several phases of campaigns to create opportunities

for the public, especially youths and young adults to get to know more about the Yellow Ribbon

Project and act to the call for action by the Yellow Ribbon Project. Examples would be

conducting various events, improving the content of the organisations social media platforms to

better cater to our primary audience of 16 - 35 years of age as well as several marketing stunts.

The Yellow Ribbon Project is recognised as an official society on 2004 by the Community Action

for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) Network and has been running since then.

After our secondary research, we have discovered that there is a lack of contributions be it via

donations or volunteering. There is also a lack of awareness from the younger generation, who

would eventually gain the decision making power in society.

We found out that the Yellow Ribbon Project has a substantial amount of followings on social

media such as Facebook and Instagram but has a low social media following on Twitter, a

popular platform among our primary audience. Their call to action has not impacted the public

fully as it does not have effective reach due to a weak online presence. It is imperative to find

out the communitys recognition of the organisation and which channels from which the Yellow

Ribbon Project is effective in communicating.

CASE STUDIES

Society must free ex-offenders from 'second prison'

The Straits Times | 14 July 2016

The article talks about how ex-offenders in Singapore are more likely to get rejected from a job

position because of their past. It also talks about the stigma that ex-offenders do not change,

and how that affects employers when they consider hiring ex-offenders. Besides that, it also

talks about how the stigma may affect how they are treated in the workforce if they are

employed.

EVENTS

Yellow Ribbon Prison Run

The Yellow Ribbon Run is an annual main event organised to increase public awareness and

acceptance of reintegrating ex-offenders into society.

Yellow Ribbon Community Art Exhibition

The Yellow Ribbon Community Art Exhibition aims to raise awareness on giving ex-offenders

second chances. It also provides a platform for ex-offenders to express their opinions, hopes

and aspirations through art, showcasing their talents and reach out to society.

3
Yellow Ribbon Songwriting Competition

The Yellow Ribbon Songwriting Competition provides opportunities for ex-offenders to express

their feelings and dedicate messages to their loved ones through music and songwriting.

Yellow Ribbon Project campaign. Additionally, it also serves as a platform to form potential

partnership in the future.

nationwide in heartland shopping malls. It aims to relate to the message of giving second

chances to ex-offenders amongst the community via activities at the event.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

Singaporean youths are unaware of what ways they can contribute to the Yellow Ribbon

Project besides participating in the Yellow Ribbon Run

Singaporeans are unaware of the Yellow Ribbon Projects other campaigns and events

because of their lack of a strong online presence.

The Yellow Ribbon Project is not receiving enough financial or voluntary help from

Singaporeans, especially those from the younger generation.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Singaporean youths are not contributing enough towards the reintegration of ex-offenders into

society due to low awareness of the Yellow Ribbon Project and what events they carry

throughout the year.

youths and young adults and encourage them to accept the reintegration of ex-offenders in

15
MESSAGE STRATEGY

Acceptance from the community is key

for ex-offenders to start anew

1) It is equally important for ex-offenders to be forthcoming as it is for the community to

be accepting.

True acceptance of ex-offenders can only come when the community recognises their past

offences, but chooses not to define them by just that. For this to happen, ex-offenders need to

first be upfront about their criminal record and show that they have repented, and be received

by a forgiving community that is ready to look past their mistakes and offer them a second

chance.

In Singapore today, ex-offenders still face social stigma due to having s erved time behind bars.

The physical and emotional toll that this takes on them can often be more hurtful than actual

incarceration and effectively imprisons them to suspicion, mistrust and discrimination.

This is especially relevant when it comes to employment. Many ex-offenders have found that

coming clean about their record often ends in countless failed job attempts. Such was the case

for Paul, who would get rejected from interviews every time he was honest about his previous

16
five-year jail term, giving him no choice but to resort to concealing his past for a warehouse

position, out of desperation for a job.

Benny Se Teo, founder of Eighteen Chefs and ex-convict, also noted that in our society, there is

a lapse where you may never be able to live a normal life or reintegrate into society once you

have a criminal record.

2) Re-integration into society hinges on providing opportunities for ex-offenders to

contribute to society, which will empower them with a stronger sense of contentment.

The number of employers registered with SCORE increased 7%, from 4,433 to 4,745. In

addition, 2,042 inmates secured a job prior to their release in 2015, a 9.5% increase from the

1,865 in 2014.

This reflects societys increasing acceptance and support for ex-offenders rehabilitation and

reintegration, which is a requisite for acceptance.

Director of the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) Community Corrections Command unit, Mr

Rockey Francisco Jr, said that it is important for ex-offenders to obtain stable employment,

because it reduces the risk of falling back again into crime.

When ex-offenders sense that their contributions are valuable to society, it helps them feel truly

integrated, gives them the confidence to move on and motivates them to develop their skills set

and achieve more.

17
Our campaign aims to further encourage society to break down the set employment barriers and

accept ex-offenders who re-enter the workforce as well as open up job positions in their

companies for them.

3) Community support is also crucial as a source of strength for ex-offenders to start

afresh.

Beyond the workforce, it is also imperative for the community to make ex-offenders feel a sense

of belonging and regard them as equals. This ensures that ex-offenders can rest in the

knowledge of having a strong source of support and place of acceptance to come home to.

Criminologist Fergus McNeill said that reintegrating ex-offenders into society can only be

successful with a community that is prepared to accept them as changed people when they

return. For individuals with more severe criminal offences, it is even more critical for volunteers

and community members to befriend them and provide them with the necessary financial and

emotional assistance to prevent them from lapsing back to crime, says Second Minister for

Home Affairs Masagos Zulkifli.

MEDIA STRATEGY

Media Platforms: Traditional

We chose to use radio, television and newspaper platforms as it appeals to the majority of our

target audience.

Tier 1 Media Channels:

PRINT

The Straits Times

The Straits Times is a popular English newspaper in Singapore with 1.26 Million people over the

age of 15 read the Strait Times and an average of 337,459 papers in circulation daily. Half of its

readers, are professionals, managers, executives and businessmen (PMEBs). They also won

Gold for their website in 2012 for the Wan-Ifra Asian Digital Media Awards as well as the Best

Cross Media Story of the Year and Best Digital Package in 2016 meaning that they hold a

strong online presence and are able to reach out to both our primary and secondary target

audiences.

The Business Times

The Business Times is an English newspaper in Singapore that has a daily average circulation

of 36,000. It caters to a target audience of 20 to 50 and above, with over half of its readers

19
(58.4) being 40 and above, that is in line with our secondary target audience. It also runs online,

which means that it would have a greater outreach to our target audiences.

Teenage

Teenage is the first and leading youth magazine in Singapore, delivering the latest in

entertainment news, music trends and pop culture. The reader demographic of Teenage is right

in line with our primary target audience, allowing us to connect with them effectively.

8 Days

8 Days is a weekly guide with the latest showbiz and lifestyle updates. It is a family-friendly

magazine targeted at youths and working adults, with 134,000 readers weekly and over half of

them, 52% being PMEBs or white-collar workers. Hence, Yellow Ribbon Project will be able to

reach out to our target audience through 8 Days.

RADIO

987FM

987FM is an english radio station that caters to the youth demographic and plays the top 40 hits

from Singapore, U.K. as well as USA. Though it is not the most popular station in Singapore,

ranking at eighth place on the top radio stations chart, it is most popular among youths and

young adults. As our target audience are youths, it would be most relevant to broadcast on this

radio channel.

20
Class 95FM

Class 95FM is Singapores number one English radio station. Its primary target audience are

Singaporeans aged 25 - 40, which also falls in line with our target demographic of young adults

aged 26 -35. Their listenership will help The Yellow Ribbon Project appeal more towards

working adults as it is catered for that audience.

TELEVISION

Channel News Asia

Channel News Asia is Singapores most popular English language news channel. Its target

demographics enjoy keeping up with the latest news stories and is more catered to the older

generation. It also holds an online presence, having their own website as well as social media

channels such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Thus it would be an effective platform to

reach out to our target audiences, especially our secondary target audience. Our campaign will

be broadcasted on programmes such as Singapore Tonight and Primetime News to effectively

reach out to our target audiences.

Channel 5

Channel 5 is Singapores most popular English television channel that reaches out to both the

younger and older generation, ranging from youths aged 16 to adults aged 50. It has over a

million views with certain programmes reaching more than two million views in 2015. In the

same year, Channel 5 also rebranded itself to better fit its younger demographics of 16 to 34.

Our campaign will be broadcasted on programmes such as News 5 Tonight to effectively reach

out to our target audiences. Their demographic caters to both our primary and secondary target

21
audience which would help ensure our campaign would be more effective if broadcasted on

Channel 5.

Media Platforms: New media

We chose to focus on reaching out via popular social media platforms such as Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube.

According to our research, 64% of singaporeans are active mobile social users. Hence we

decided to use these social media platforms to reach out to our target audiences, as more than

half the population is using it.

Facebook

70% of Singaporeans uses Facebook. 34% of people who use Facebook is people aged 20-29

years old in Singapore followed by 28% who are 30-39 years old. Those aged 13 -19 holds 8%,

40-49 holds 16% and 50-59 holds 9% of the whole population who uses facebook. Since the

two highest age gap who uses Facebook are our target audience, we decided to use facebook

as it is effective to spread our message across.

Facebook is also the top social media network in Singapore with 3.8 millions registered users, and it

is a preferred Business-to-Business social marketing platform in Singapore.

Twitter

According to Visakan Veerasamy, there are over 255 million monthly active users on Twitter in

2014. There are over 500 million tweets are sent per day. According to digital influence lab, 54%

22
of Singaporeans uses Twitter in 2014. Therefore this shows that Twitter has a relative large

engagement by Singaporeans in the recent years, making it a potential platform for us to reach

a wider audience.

Instagram

Instagram has overtaken Twitter to become the 2nd most popular social media networks in

Singapore. Instagram is also a great platform to reach out to our target audience as 75% of

Instagram users take action, such as visiting a website, after looking at an Instagram advertising

post. According to Instagram Advertiser statistics, 60% say that they learn about a product or

service on the platform, and 75% of Instagram users take action, such as visiting a website,

after looking at an Instagram advertising post. Therefore, Instagram is a statistically sound place

to invest our time and energy.

Snapchat
Snapchat is a rising 60% of Snapchat's users are 13 to 24 years old. Similarly, 63% of snapchat

users are 18 - 34 year olds, therefore it consists of our primary target audience which makes it an

effective platform for us to use to reach out to them. In addition, Snapchat ads are seen anywhere

between 500,000 to a million times per day.

YouTube

50% of Singaporeans have a youtube account, 76% penetration rate and individuals in

singapore spent at least 11.6 hours on youtube monthly. The average minutes for Singaporeans

who use Youtube is 1011.0 mins for those aged 15-24 ,603.3mins for 25-34, 512.4mins for

23
35-44, 647.6mins for 45-54 and 700.8mins those aged 55 and above. Therefore, with the high

usage of youtube among our target audience we decided to use youtube as a platform to reach

out to them.

conduct talks about ex-offenders in Singapore, as well as about the Yellow Ribbon Project and

what we do. The aim of the talks is to raise awareness among our target audience, the younger

generation, and get them to be more engaged with the organisation by participating in the

Yellow Ribbon Projects events and campaigns.

(Refer to appendix A)

Office Crashes
The office crashes will take place throughout the month of March to April at top financial

companies like, Hong Leong Finance Limited , as well as smaller organisations like, Donald

Mcarthy Trading Pte Ltd. It targets professionals who have the spending power to donate to the

Yellow Ribbon Project as well as smaller companies who would be more open to hiring

ex-offenders. At the office crashes, bumper stickers that consist of our logo and tag line will be

given out, which would help recipients to further recall the purpose of the Yellow Ribbon Project

and be more encouraged to donate or contribute to the organisation.

(Refer to appendix B)

Guerilla Campaign Free the Stars!


A guerilla campaign will be held along Orchard Road on 13 May 2017, where a striking yellow

and black model of a prison cell will be set on the streets, with artiste Wang Weiliang acting as

27
the criminal trapped on the inside. The campaign will be promoted on Yellow Ribbon Projects

Instagram account and engage a minimum of 300 members of the public to follow Yellow

Ribbon Project, as well as like the featured post and leave a comment in order to free Weiliang.

Once he is freed, The participants can then have an exclusive meet and greet session with him.

The whole campaign aims to engage the public to let them know about Yellow Ribbon Project in

a fun way, recognise Weiliang as the new ambassador and drive traffic to Yellow Ribbon

Projects social media.

(Refer to appendix D)

Buskers to sing yellow ribbon song, song written by


ex-offenders
To increase awareness and attract the attention of our target audience, we will work with local

buskers around Singapore in May. These buskers who are normally seen at high traffic areas

such as Orchard Road and underground passageways will perform Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round

The Old Oak Tree with their own flair, as well as winning songs from past editions of the Yellow

Ribbon Songwriting Competition. They will be filmed by a freelance videography crew and we

will combine performance footage of the different buskers to form part of a campaign video. We

will also be generating publicity for these performances on the days leading up and during the

actual performance itself, by posting photos and short snippet videos on Yellow Ribbon

Projects Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. There will also be a board placed in the area where

people can write about their past doings using the #NoOffenceButI.

(Refer to appendix E & B)

Media Drop

28
After conducting our guerilla marketing at Orchard, we hope to capture the interest of our tier 1

and tier 2 media channels by sending a media drop in mid-May to the representatives and

ambassadors we have selected to cover our campaign. This media drop will be locked and can

only be opened with a 4-digit passcode provided by a pre-matched ex-offender present at our

launch party later, which the recipients will come to know about via an invitation attached to the

drop. Enclosed in the drop are a copy of the news release, a blank placard for them to write a

confession with #NoOffenceButI, as well as a yellow marker. The drop will also contain a ping

pong ball with a number, which will enter the recipients into a lucky draw with a $1500 cash

prize at our media launch party in May at the Aliwal Arts Centre. The purpose of the media drop

is to allow the different media channels to have a better understanding of our campaigns

messages, vision and mission as well as update them about future events that the Yellow

Ribbon Project will be running throughout the duration of this campaign.

(Refer to appendix F)

Media Launch Party


This is a party to inform and engage the media and ambassadors on our #NoOffenceButI

campaign slated for the end of May to December. The actual party will be happening in mid-May

at Aliwal Arts Centre and will be a sequel to our media drop, where media representatives and

ambassadors who have received it will have to find the ex-offender who possesses the key to

unlock their media drop. There is also a press conference lined up, where the media will get to

ask us and representatives from Yellow Ribbon Project any questions they have regarding

#NoOffenceButI, but also on the Project in general. Finally, there will be a graffiti wall, which all

attendees will be encouraged to scribble and doodle on their confessions of past mistakes and

regrets, in the spirit of #NoOffenceButI.

29
(Refer to appendix G)

#NoOffenceButI
#NoOffenceButI is our key campaign whereby everyone in society including ex-offenders will

confess something they have done that they are not proud of. Spanning across 29 May to 31

December, this movement will signify that everyone in society is in need of a second chance

and that no one is perfect, relating back specially to our message that forthcoming ex-offenders

and a forgiving community goes hand in hand. Through this campaign, we hope more people

will be accepting towards ex-offenders, making it easier for ex-offenders to be re-integrated into

society. We will drive publicity by actively trending this hashtag on social media platforms such

as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, with a series of consistently themed posts.

(Refer to appendix H)

Hiring ex-offenders vs hiring non ex-offenders video


campaign
An actor will switch between playing the role of an ex-offender and an individual with a clean

record to try to get a job at malls such as Ion, Somerset and Bugis. The aim of this campaign is

to see if there is a change of perception and attitude by employees to employ an ex-offender

versus a non ex-offender. These scenes and reactions will be filmed by a hidden camera and

compiled to show the reality in our campaign video, which will be released on Yellow Ribbon

Projects YouTube channel and cross-promoted on their other social media platforms in July.

Employees that accepts the ex-offender for who he is and is willing to hire, will be notified that

30
this is a campaign and be applauded by our crew, and this will be recorded from start to finish

on camera by a freelance video crew.

(Refer to appendix M)

Straits Times Ex-offenders Profiles


Between 31 July to 1 September, the Straits Times will publish a page dedicated to profiles on

ex-offenders once a week, in anticipation of the Yellow Ribbon Run. For each edition, we will

highlight a few inspirational stories of past convicts who have turned over a new leaf, written in a

personal tone. This will attract readers as they will gain a closer look into who are unsure of

what ex-offenders go through and how they overcame their obstacles in life.

(Refer to appendix I)

News Release
The news release consists of all the details on the upgraded Yellow Ribbon Run 2017 and

general information on the Yellow Ribbon Project, which will be disseminated to the various tier

1 and tier 2 news and online news channels on 24 August. The purpose of the news release is

to interest the news channels in publicising and publishing an article about our campaign,

focusing mainly on the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Run. This is to reach out to our secondary

audience, the older generation.

Yellow Ribbon Run Cookoff


After the run, the event will continue with a cook off in a tentage area at the same venue. Race

participants will get to witness a battle between two trained chefs, one of whom is a past

offender, each whipping up 3 dishes with the same key ingredients. The race participants can

31
then try these dishes out and vote for who they feel is the better chef. Renowned chef and

ex-convict Benny Se Teo will also be invited as a special guest judge and the winner will be

decided by him and participants votes. This is to add another element of entertainment to the

Yellow Ribbon Run to enhance its attractiveness to the public and increase hype. We will be

heavily promoting this new addition to the run on Yellow Ribbon Projects social media, as well

as through the news release sent to tier 1 and 2 media channels.

(Refer to appendix J)

Snapchat: Geotag
On the day of our main event, The Yellow Ribbon Run 2017, we will collaborate with Snapchat

to have a live stream of what is happening at the run using the geotag feature, so as to generate

buzz on social media for it. This will attract our primary target audience and engage them to

endorse the event, as Snapchat is a popular platform among youths. On 3rd September, all

snapchat users will be able to access the Yellow Ribbon story where they can see videos and

pictures taken during the main running event and they will have access to a yellow ribbon

snapchat filter. This will be effective as users do not need to follow the Yellow Ribbon Projects

snapchat account to view the stories, making it convenient.

In conjuction with the Yellow Ribbon Run, a Yellow Ribbon watermark template will be enabled

on the Yellow Ribbon website in late August for users to upload their pictures with the

watermark. Users can also download a #NoOffenceButI header background for Facebook and

Twitter and share the page with their friends. This will enable opportunities for growth in the

32
Yellow Ribbon Movement by spreading awareness and recognition online in using the

watermark consistently on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

(Refer to appendix H)

Flea Market
We will carry out the flea market on 11 and 12 November as a follow-up to the main event, the

Yellow Ribbon Run. The flea market will be held at the SCAPE Sky Terrace from 11am to 5pm

and stalls will be managed by ex-offenders selling their original handmade products and food.

25% of the earnings will go towards the Yellow Ribbon Fund. The purpose of this flea market is

to allow ex-offenders to showcase their skills and for the public to show their appreciation and

support. They will get to know about the event through posts on Yellow Ribbon Projects social

media.

(Refer to appendix K)

Orchard Road Christmas Tree - The gift of acceptance


During the Christmas season, we will introduce a seasonal campaign called The Gift of

Acceptance. There will be a booth set up in Orchard Road from 22 to 25 December, where we

will put up a fake tree along with other Christmas decorations, and passers-by will be

encouraged to attach yellow ribbons on the tree. This will symbolise that society accepts

ex-offenders for who they are. We plan to raise awareness of this campaign through our tier 1

and 2 media channels, as well as via our social media platforms and user-generated posts. This

emotional appeal will follow up and conclude our six months campaign, to create awareness

and help ex-offenders reintegrate back into society.

EVALUATION PLAN

Engagement of Public

After events that promote and encourage the public to volunteer or donate with the Yellow

Ribbon Project such as the Yellow Ribbon Run, Flea Market and #TheGiftOfAcceptance

Christmas Event, we will create an online registration form for participants to do. The form will

contain questions that will require them to provide personal information such as their name, age,

IC number, school or company and what they did to contribute to the Yellow Ribbon Project.

That way we can compare the list to our current volunteers and people who regularly donate, to

see if we have attracted and engaged more people to contribute to the organisation. It will also

allow us to measure how many people regularly volunteer or donate.

We will work closely with the finance administrators at the Yellow Ribbon Project to monitor the

amount of donations after our campaign, to measure if it has increased. We will take note of the

donor's particulars to see if they repeatedly donate, as well as keep weekly tabs on all donators

to measure what events are the most successful monetarily.

Reintegration of ex-offenders into society from a career aspect

Various events throughout the programme period provide opportunities for ex-offenders to

showcase their skills and abilities. By working with SCORE and the employers registered with it,

we will assess the number of enterprises that are opening up to hiring ex-offenders to evaluate

the effectivity of promotion of ex-offenders as valuable assets to the workforce.

44
We will also work closely with companies that partner together with the Yellow Ribbon Project

as well as as SCORE to measure the effectiveness of our campaign by benchmarking the rate

of reemployment of ex offenders in such companies as compared to newer ones that we intend

to promote the hiring of ex-offenders to.

Educate the Public

We will re-release the survey that we released before the campaign to check for differences in

the publics perceptions of ex-offenders and the Yellow Ribbon Project. This will allow us to

directly compare the changes on attitude and behaviours as well as the level of awareness

among the younger generation. The survey will be modified by the addition of questions such as

After this campaign, did you contribute to the Yellow Ribbon Project? and In what way did you

contribute?. A focus group will also be conducted with various people from out target audience,

from different parts of Singapore to monitor changes in their awareness and attitudes. From all

this, we will be able to accurately measure the impact that our school talks and other events

have had on young adults and youth in Singapore,

Additional measures that we will take is to pass out surveys after our school talks. This will help

to effectively evaluate changes in our target audiences perceptions of ex-offenders and the

Yellow Ribbon Project. A quiz will also be conducted after the end of the talks to help measure

the amount of information retained by the youths and the knowledge they have about the

organisation.

45
In addition to that we will look at the old historical records to see if there has been a significant

increase in the level of awareness among the our target audiences in regard to the Yellow

RIbbon Project

Greater Online Presence

To measure the engagement of the target audience with the Yellow Ribbon Project, we will

monitor the number of posts uploaded on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter.

We will compare the number of followers on their social media platforms after the campaign to

before the campaign started. We will also look at the number of impressions on the Yellow

Ribbon Projects Twitter page and the number of impressions on our Instagram in order to

measure how effectively we have increased the Yellow Ribbon Projects online presence among

our target audience. Similarly we will also measure the amount of follows and the number of

likes on our Facebook page, for the same purpose.

We will also do a comparison to other similar non-profit organisations to see if we have met a

similar social media following as them. For example, we hope to increase the Twitter following of

the Yellow Ribbon Project from 292 to 577 to be on par with AWAREs twitter followers. Another

example would be the likes on the Yellow Ribbon Projects Instagram page. We hope to that

after our campaigns, it will increase from an average of 20 likes to 80 likes to be on par with

SPCAs instagram likes.

Furthermore, we will be tracking the number of posts that are uploaded with #NoOffenceButI, to

measure the social media engagement of the public with our campaign. Similarly we will also

46
track the posts uploaded with the #TheGiftOfAcceptance to monitor the engagement with our

events and sub-campaigns.

Besides that, we will also record and monitor the active members who participate regularly on

the Yellow Ribbon Projects social media pages, to determine if the engagement levels among

youths have increased.

SECONDARY RESEARCH

Background Information The Yellow Ribbon Project

- Tagline - Help Unlock the Second Prison

- Second prison refers to stigma of suspicion, mistrust and discrimination attached to

ex-offenders after release

- Rehabilitative and aftercare programmes alone are not adequate to create a stable

social environment for ex-offenders to feel a sense of belonging and find the hope to

start afresh, hence the community needs to be engaged.

- Initiated in 2004 by the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE)

Network, a group of major community and government organisations that aim to improve

the rehabilitation of ex-offenders

56
- Objectives of Yellow Ribbon Project: 3As

Raise Awareness of the need to give second chances to ex-offenders and their

families.

Generate Acceptance of ex-offenders and their families in the community.

Inspire community Action to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of

ex-offenders back into society.

- Launched in June 2004, the YELLOW RIBBON FUND is the only national charitable

fund devoted entirely towards the development and implementation of:

Rehabilitative and aftercare services for ex-offenders

Rehabilitation and reintegration support programmes for family members

Public awareness programmes

- Ways for people to help:

Sponsor: in-kind sponsorship (items/services), Collaboration to co-create

programmes

Volunteer: organise activities, fundraisers and events

Donate to Yellow Ribbon Fund

Employ ex-offenders

57
Support: Work with Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises

(SCORE) on work skills training programmes for inmates

- Main events are:

1) Annual YR Prison Run

The Yellow Ribbon Run is an annual main event organised to increase public awareness and

acceptance of reintegrating ex-offenders into society.

2) YR Community Art Exhibition

The Yellow Ribbon Community Art Exhibition aims to raise awareness on giving ex-offenders

second chances. It also provides a platform for ex-offenders to express their opinions, hopes

and aspirations through art, showcasing their talents and reach out to society.

3) YR Songwriting Competition

The Yellow Ribbon Songwriting Competition provides opportunities for ex-offenders to express

their feelings and dedicate messages to their loved ones through music and songwriting.

4) YR Appreciation Dinner

The Yellow Ribbon Appreciation Dinner is held to thank partners who had contributed to the

Yellow Ribbon Project campaign. Additionally, it also serves as a platform to form potential

partnership in the future.

5) YR Heartland Malls Outreach 2017 - a series of roadshows and exhibitions in heartland

malls and community hubs around Singapore.

58
Yellow Ribbon Project Heartland Malls Outreach is a series of roadshows and exhibitions

nationwide in heartland shopping malls. It aims to relate to the message of giving second

Yellow Ribbon Project Social Media Sites

Website

http://www.yellowribbon.org.sg/

The Yellow Ribbon Project Singapore has its own website for users to engage more with the

organisation. The website allow users to find out more about the organisation, upcoming events

and the organisations contact details. The website is also build to encourage call for action from

users to donate, volunteer, sponsor and employ ex offenders. The website is well managed and

up to date.

Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/yellowribbonproj/

The Yellow Ribbon Project Singapore has a Facebook account with relatively high engagement.

It has 80,633 likes on its Facebook page and it is effective as it links the user to other media

platforms such as their website and the twitter page. They also post regularly everyday and

upload many pictures and videos from every event.

59
Twitter

https://twitter.com/yellowribbonsg

The Yellow Ribbon Project Singapore has a twitter account however it has relatively low

engagement as compared to other organisations in Singapore. They have 292 followers on

twitter and a total of 2,213 tweets since February 2013. The twitter account is not linked to the

official website, but it is linked to the Facebook page.

In comparison to other organisation twitter accounts in Singapore:

1) WWF - Singapore

https://twitter.com/wwfsg?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

World Wildlife Fund - Singapore has more than double the number of followers than the yellow

ribbon project. It has a total of 4,693 followers and 2,939 tweets. This shows that more people

follow them as they update their twitter account and are more interactive.

YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/user/Yellowribbonproj/videos

60
The Yellow Ribbon Project has a YouTube account since 2008. They have 183 Subscribers and

they constantly upload videos. The YouTube account is not linked on official website, but is

linked on their Facebook page. The account has a relatively small following considering its long

existence on YouTube.

Instagram

The Yellow Ribbon Projects Instagram account has 1,268 followers and 1,066 posts. Created in

February 2013, it is heavily saturated with posts covering their main event, The Yellow Ribbon

Prison Run. It is not linked on Yellow Ribbon Projects official website or Facebook page.

They host contests and campaigns on their instagram account in conjunction with their events to

engage their followers, generous use of hashtags. For example, #YRSelfie, #ShareYRMemories

from past Yellow Ribbon Prison Runs to win slots and #YRSecondChance which is their new

campaign for 2016.

In addition, they recently started a campaign posting inspirational quotes and thought-provoking

questions for days of the week such as #MotivationalMonday, #TalkBackTuesday/Thursday,

#ForgivenessFriday to encourage followers to share. This brought them more feedback from

people, but most of their comments seem to come from weird accounts that found their page

through the hashtags, however it is not effective in reaching their target followers.

61
An improvement can be seen in frequency of updates, but overall engagement remains pretty

low. The average like count is 15 to 20 likes, and few occasional or no comments on posts.

Event subscriptions

https://www.facebook.com/pg/yellowribbonproj/events/?ref=page_internal

Despite the relative large following on facebook, there is only 38 people who follow their events

on their Facebook page. This shows that the call to action and follow up of The Yellow Ribbon

Project is weak.

62
