Hi—could you share any impressions of the room for more funding here? How much money could be effectively deployed by the team working on this? Do they have fundraising targets?
Hi Bella! Thank you for your question. I’m copying an answer I just gave to another user, as it applies to your question equally.
Since the vote will take place on 25 September, we don’t have much time left to spend money. Currently, additional funds would almost exclusively be used to increase visibility for our demands and our arguments, particularly through digital advertising (out of home, social media, banner ads). As a result, we estimate that we could spend approximately an additional USD 200,000 effectively, since the scale-up would be instantaneous. The additional number of eligible voters we could reach with this amount is significant, especially in a small country like Switzerland.
Thank you for your question. I checked with our media planning team and an additional USD 10,000 could result in any of the following:
1) Reaching an additional 1.9 million gross contacts through PassengerTV (videos shown on Swiss public transport, mainly in buses). Those would be 10 second clips, shown every 8 minutes for 21 days. The screens look like this.
2) An additional week of digital presence on so-called Rail eBoards at main train stations in the five largest cities of the country. This donation would likely allow us to book slots on 8-10 screens in total. In Switzerland, train stations are usually very busy and we are guaranteed to be visible with these large-format advertisements. The screens look like this and we’ve already been using them since Monday.
If you need additional information, please let me know.

Do you have a back of the envelope calculation for the expected impact of e.g. a marginal USD 10,000?
