Introduce a Girl to Engineering Goes to the
Movies
“Introduce
a Girl to Engineering Day,” now in its fifth year, is slated
for Thursday, February 24, 2005 . The campaign encourages engineers – particularly
women engineers – to make the world of engineering come alive
for girls. Since its inception, an estimated one million girls have
experienced engineering firsthand each year. “Introduce a Girl
to Engineering Day 2005” Grand Sponsors are Agilent Technologies,
Inc. and the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
As a nationwide
promotion of this campaign, you can advertise at your local movie
theater with pre-movie "teasers," an ideal
way to reach a captive and receptive audience of thousands, including
pre-teens, teens and parents.
Here's how it
works: the teaser, featuring an attractive “Girl
Day” visual provided by National Engineers Week headquarters,
will tout your organization, along with a phone number and/or Web site.
The teasers are guaranteed to run at least twice before each movie
showing, and stay on screen for approximately 13 seconds. And the best
part is that it only costs a special rate of $20-25 per screen per
week. Prices vary depending on market size, and there is a four-week
minimum. So, to advertise for four weeks at your local theater with
six screens, the cost to your organization would be only $480-$600!
It couldn't
be easier. But, to guarantee screen space during the busy pre-Oscar
January and February schedule, you must indicate
your interest in the Girl Day Movie Campaign by October 29th.
Just tell us the city or county where you want your ad to run and we
will determine if there is a “Girl Day” participating theater
in your area.
After that, all we need from each local organization is copy for
the slide, such as:
