Branding and Marketing Resources
Best Practices: BBYO Community eNews, Regional Website and Email
Email: Our email service is ARCOS. It allows us to use the BBYO brand and the most accurate data while
presenting BBYO as a sophisticated organization.
- When should I use ARCOS? All messages to multiple recipients to promote, recruit, thank, reach
parents, etc. must be done via ARCOS. Training is available.
-
When can I use Outlook? Outlook can be used to send out “reminder emails” related to cancellations,
weather delays, etc. This information can also be on the regional website or shared via social media.
o BBYO employees should never send emails to several hundred plus recipients via Outlook (or
any other email/messaging software). Upon discovery, we will put an immediate stop to this
and freeze the email account until the situation is resolved.
❧ Why? Large emails – including an attachment of 5-10 MB can halt our server. Using
collected data without running it through the Arcos system allows people who have
opted-out to receive emails, angering our stakeholders, and eventually causing any and
all BBYO email addresses as spam.
The BBYO Community eNews: This is a monthly eNewsletter reaching our entire community of teens,
parents, alumni, donors and advisors. It is a mandatory communication piece and a good opportunity to engage
our stakeholders.
The BBYO Community eNews includes local highlights, upcoming dates, local articles, national articles, FAN
articles, advisor spotlight, BBYO in the News**, Alumni Spotlight**, Thank you to FAN Leaders**
** Denotes articles that may not appear in every issue
Additional information that is specific to teens, events or otherwise should be posted to the regional website or
shared via social media.
BBYO Community eNews Editing Process
- Regional staff creates content based on template provided by International Office 10 days in advance.
- DCE/DFO edits content.
- International Office (Elyse, Elisa, Lindsay) complete final edits.
o Elyse Goldberg – Midwest and Southeast Hubs, Elisa Schwartz – Western and Mid-Atlantic Hubs,
Lindsay Larner – Northeast Hub
- International Office sends approval to regional staff and/or Hub Admin for distribution to take place
after the regional website has been updated.
Regional Websites: This is intended to be the hub of information and news for each region.
Updates should be consistent throughout the year, but at the very least should include:
- Monthly: homepage, the chapter and regional events will update automatically
- Quarterly: the photo gallery
- Yearly: regional board
- As needed: staff, contact, forms, chapters,
BBYO Marketing Best Practices
Be a Designer!
1. Know the brand. Read the brand guidelines!
2. Use the BBYO Tool Kit.
3. Keep it simple.
a. Don't clutter up your design with too much text. Refer audience to
bbyo.org or regional websites for more info.
b. Don't be afraid of empty/negative space. If the page is over populated with
text, pictures or other design elements it will be confusing to read as it will
not be intuitive where to look next.
c. Keep a hierarchy of elements. In general the most important info should be
bigger (usually the headline and call to action), with the other elements
decreasing in size in order of importance.
d. Use one or two colors to make a cohesive piece.
4. Photos are not necessary.
a. If used, photos should be print quality (300 dpi).
b. If the photo is poorly composed or low quality it can make the whole
design look less professional.
5. Not all type needs to be large. This can make a design look cluttered.
a. As a general guideline your main headline should be 35-50pt and body
copy within the 8-14pt range.
b. Use Torque Ultra for your headline and use the Arial family of fonts for
your body copy.
Be Web Savvy
1. Content is king. Keep your regional website current to keep your visitors
interested. Something like election results can be placed on your regional
site. Make your audience go there to get them.
2. Place links in your BBYO Community eNews directing to your regional
websites.
3. Keep the most important content at the top of the page.
4. Use the "ads" on your homepage to highlight regional events.
5. The quickest way to create content is to cut and paste something from
Notepad. Use the bulk edit button to paste your content. As long as there
are page breaks in your content, your paragraphs will be separated and
ready for formatting.
6. Your images should be 600 pixels wide max.
7. If you need to modify an image, you can do it through ARCOS. Select
your picture, click Edit and then click the Transform button.
8. The easiest way to use video through ARCOS is YouTube.
9. Publishing is a two-step process. Click publish. You will be offered one
more chance to preview your work. Publish again.
Media Pitching
1. Identify the appropriate editor or reporter.
a. Lots of times, this can be found by simply looking at the bylines of recent
articles and doing a Google search on the writer to see what the topics
that he or she normally covers.
2. Make the pitch personal.
a. Include a personal note to the writer or editor with a few sentences about
what the story or program is and why it is relevant to the publication’s
audience.
3. Identify a teen writer.
a. Look outside of the traditional program or convention angle. If a teen is an
all-around outstanding Jewish teen leader who has a narrative to share, a
media outlet may be interested in publishing a teen-written piece.
4. Extend an invitation.
a. If there is an event that you would like coverage on, invite an editor or
reporter to attend for a first-hand view of why it is meaningful to the
community. Offer photo opportunities and interviews, as well.
Social Media
1. How to hashtag.
a. A hashtag is a keyword with the # symbol before it that categorizes a
Tweet, connecting it to other Twitter users talking about the same thing.
For example, if you tweet “#AZABBGIC2013 is almost here!”,
#AZABBGIC2013 will automatically be hyperlinked and, when you click on
that link, you will be able to see all other tweets about IC 2013.
2. Make it visible.
a. When tweeting at a person at the start of a Tweet (i.e. @BBYOInsider),
place a period immediately before the @ sign in to make it a public Tweet,
ensuring that all of your followers will be able to see it.
3. Social Media as a supplement.
a. Facebook and/or tweet about any communication that goes out
electronically and make sure to link to the specified communication piece
(i.e. website, newsletter, photo album, video, etc.)
4. Make it personal.
a. Acknowledge great accomplishments by BBYO members, whether they
are teens, advisors, alumni or parents.
Social Media Branding Reminders
• Your region should have a Facebook Page, not a Group. It should be titled
BBYO [Region Name] (with the region name after “BBYO”).
o Example: BBYO Lonestar Region not Lonestar Region BBYO
• Your region’s Twitter handle should have “BBYO” before the region name or
acronym.
o Example: @BBYOLiberty not @LibertyBBYO
FAQ: Navigating Social Media as a Professional or Volunteer
All questions and answers apply to the work of BBYO staff and advisors
Q. Should I have two Facebook accounts?
A. Facebook does not allow the creation of multiple accounts for one person. If you don’t have two
accounts yet, do not create a second one; adjust your account with the appropriate privacy
settings, as outlined in this document.
Q. Can I friend teens in my region or other regions?
A. You should not actively seek out, or friend, teens in your region or BBYO at large. If you
maintain one account, and a teen (currently in high school and engaged with BBYO) or their
parent friends you, you can accept their friendship and categorize them within a privacy
protected group. If you maintain two accounts, and a teen (currently in high school and
engaged with BBYO) or their parent friends you, you can accept their friendship only on
your professional account.
After teens graduate, you should use your discretion in choosing to transition that
relationship to your personal account, or to remove the privacy setting.
Q. As a BBYO Professional or Advisor, what am I responsible for?
A. BBYO Professionals and Advisors can only be accountable for what is considered an official space.
Q. What if I see something on a page that is inappropriate in any way?
A. BBYO Professionals & Advisors reserve the right to delete a post on the official page at any time if it
is deemed offensive or inappropriate. If a BBYO Professional or Advisor sees inappropriate content
on a teen owned, or organic group or event space, the professional can and should ask the teen to
remove it.
Q. What are the consequences to a teen who posts inappropriate content on Facebook or Twitter?
A. After the offending content has been deleted the behavior should be addressed by the BBYO
Professional directly with the teen and the consequences should align with the consequences
outlined in the AZA and BBG Behavioral Contracts and Codes of Conduct.
Q. Should I be checking in on or policing the Facebook groups teens create?
A. No. BBYO Professionals or Advisors are not asked or expected to monitor the organically created
groups or pages created by teens.
Q. Is there anything I can’t say online as a BBYO Professional or Advisor?
A. Whether you’re posting on an Official Page or from your personal profile, you’re representing BBYO
and are considered on the record. It is not uncommon for reporters to quote an organization’s
tweets or blog posts without obtaining permission or alerting the organization. Seek the same
approvals that you would in dealing with the traditional press, particularly if you are sharing new
information or responding to criticism.’
Best Practices: Using Social Media as a BBYO Professional or Advisor
BBYO Professional and Advisor Use of Social Media
Communicating on a social media platform on behalf of BBYO or on an official or unofficial BBYO related
or affiliated project, or on a personal profile.
• Be Smart: You are personally responsible for any content that you publish on social media
platforms, so use good judgment.
• Be Transparent: Identify yourself and your role at BBYO, transparency builds credibility.
• Be Non-Partisan: If you disagree with a program, campaign, or BBYO affiliations discuss your
concerns privately with your colleagues, not publicly. If you’re not sure about BBYO’s positions,
ask or don’t comment.
• Be Thoughtful: Do nothing that would risk the privacy or safety of the volunteers, professionals
and teens you work with, especially when posting a photo or quote.
• Respect Copyrights & Confidentiality: Only post things you have permission to post. Make sure
you have permission to post any copyrighted (e.g. images, logos) or potentially confidential
information.
• Be Accurate: Even though you may be expressing a personal opinion, do your research and
source your information.
• Be Gracious: When you make a mistake, correct it. Handle your mistake with grace and
transparency by acknowledging your error.
• Be Generous: Social media is, at its base, social. Share, connect, and provide links to interesting
things going on, both at BBYO and beyond.
Expect people to see you as a representative of BBYO, especially if you discuss mission related issues or
your work. To avoid misunderstanding:
When in doubt, don’t push send. On the Internet, everything lasts forever.
If you have questions, consult your manager, the Marketing Department or Human Resources.

This document provides design guidance in the
development of BBYO print and electronic materials.
Rules, recommendations, and examples for brand
usage will help you develop your own materials
to communicate with BBYO members and other
audiences. Using these guidelines will help BBYO
chapters, divisions, and staff present a consistent
message and increase recognition of the BBYO brand.
Our brand is a vital tool in strengthening BBYO’s
reputation as a leader in the Jewish community. It
represents who we are, what we stand for, and where
we are going.
1.00
INTRODUCTION
4.00 Using Our Brand
The depiction of the menorah
provides a visual emphasis on the
traditions and values of Jewish
culture as the starting point in
finding your direction. Individual
paths emanate from a common
core and move in a common
direction. The flame elements
symbolize the energy of our
members, moving forward on
their own paths.
The refreshed brandmark is an
evolution of the previous mark.
We infused it with new meaning,
designing a custom logotype
(font) and bringing the symbol up
to date.
The BBYO brandmark is part
of a larger brand strategy to
raise awareness of BBYO,
demonstrate its independence
from its former parent
oranization, B’nai B’rith
International, and expand the
perception of BBYO beyond
member-only activities.

1.00 INTRODUCTION

DIVISIONS
MAST ER BRAND
BBYO is the master brand—
the only logo related to the
organization and the core
element for all divisions,
regions, and councils.
This unified identity becomes
the center point in outlining a
clear organizational structure.
1.02
Brand Architecture
1.00 INTRODUCTION
Brandmark treatments for
divisions of BBYO, such as
Panim Institute and Passport,
will incorporate the division
name, set below and to the
right of the BBYO master brand.
These are called “lock-ups”, or
the final form of a logo with all
of its elements locked in their
relative positions.
Be sure to use the proper artwork
for the division logos rather than
creating your own. The consistent
alignment of our divisions under
the BBYO brandmark is critical
in establishing a unified and
credible brand—when in
doubt, check with Marketing &
Communications.

Size, placement, and color are important. In order
to create the most impactful communications, logo
usage must be carefully managed and implemented.
Brand integrity is in the details. Without consistent
application of the logo and other graphic elements,
the power of a brand will be compromised.
2.00
LOGO USE
Recommended clear space is 1/2
the height of the menorah in the
logo. For example, if after you size
place your logo, the menorah is 2”
tall, then you should allow at least
1” of clear space.
Minimum Clear Space
Always keep the logo clear of
any graphics, imagery or text.
This protects the integrity of
the BBYO logo, ensures that it is
never visually dominated by other
elements, and eliminates the
possibility of creating new “lockups” (see pg. 4).
Minimum size for web:
95 pixels wide
Minimum size for print:
0.75” wide
Minimum Size
To ensure legibility and print
reproduction, do not apply the
BBYO logo at size that is too small.

Logos should only be placed
horizontally or at a 45 degree
angle. If using the angled logo, it
should appear inside or alongside
other angled BBYO graphic
shapes—everything should be
flowing in the same direction.

It is preferable to place the
BBYO logo at the top of each
publication. Alternatively, the
logo can be placed within a
graphic shape.

Do not attempt to create a region
logo—always set the region or
council name in Graphik
or Arial.
Be sure that the region or council
name does not “lock-up” with
the logo—in other words, make
sure the name doesn’t enter the
allotted clear space (see pg. 6).
When customizing BBYO
materials and communications
for specific regions or councils, it
is not necessary to include BBYO
in the name—it will already be in
the logo. Placing the region name
above the headline, ensures that
it doesn’t get buried in copy.

The tagline can accompany the
logo, but is not necessary. If the
tagline is included, be sure that
it does not “lock-up” with the
logo—in other words, make sure
it doesn’t enter the allotted clear
space (see pg. 6).
The tagline serves as a marketing
message. The tagline can be used
on materials and communications
to help express our mission
and values.

Full color, one-color (black),
and reverse (white) are the only
acceptable versions of the logo.
Reverse
This version should only be used
when placed on a black or dark
colored background.
One Color
This version should only be used
when reproduction methods
only include black ink such as in
newspapers or etching.
In most cases the logo should
appear in full color on a white
background.
Full Color
The full-color logo is the primary,
preferred visual expression of the
BBYO brand and should be used
as often as possible. Blue was
chosen because of its versatility,
connection to Judaism, and the
traditions it carried over from
our former brandmark. Paired
with the orange flame, the colors
create a clean and unified mark
that combines bold strength with
a youthful spark.

Please note that these examples
demonstrate some—but not
all—improper uses of the logo.
Every time we deviate from the
official logo, we compromise the
integrity of the BBYO brand.
It is also important to never use
parts of the logo separately. The
menorah and BBYO name should
always appear together in exactly
the same position.
In order to preserve the
integrity of the brand, never
attempt to redraw or rescale
any of the graphic elements.
For example, don’t add an
outline to make the logo “pop”
more in a layout. Instead,
reconsider the layout, or opt
for the reverse (white) version.

For this reason, we have treated the AZA and BBG
seals carefully. We have refined these seals, while
respecting the deep history each seal imparts.
Preserving and protecting the strong principles and
rich traditions of AZA and BBG is an important part of
revitalizing the BBYO brand.

Do not use the seals in

There are two versions of the
AZA and BBG seals, standard
and small.
The AZA and BBG seals carry
with them the history, principles,
and traditions of each orders.
As such, they will not be used

Always use the BBYO logo
on materials. It is another
opportunity to strengthen our
brand and build awareness.
However, be sure that the chapter
name does not “lock-up” with
the logo—in other words, make
sure the name doesn’t enter the
allotted clear space (see pg. 6)
Use banner shapes at 45 degree
angles (preferred) and ensure
they read left to right. Otherwise,
horizontally or vertically. Other
positions are not acceptable.
AZA and BBG chapter names
can be integrated into materials
in two different ways: above the
headline or as a banner element.

These elements work together to create a visual
language that strongly grounds the BBYO brand, while
providing a distinct look and feel. Over time, this will
increase the brand visibility and will create greater
awareness for the BBYO brand.
There are many identity elements that comprise
the BBYO look and feel: color, typography, imagery
and layout.

PRIMARY COLORS
Using the color palettes can be
challenging. It may be helpful
to choose a color style before
creating a new design.
3.02
Color Palette in Use
3.00 LOOK & FEEL
However, a little goes a long
way. When choosing colorful
combinations, don’t use all of the
colors of the secondary palette
together. Instead, choose 2-4
colors to work with.
Multiple Colors
Combining several colors from the
secondary palette can help make
your materials bright and friendly.
The use of the primary color
palette compliments the colors in
the BBYO logo.
MULTIPLE COLORS
Primary Colors
Use BBYO blue and orange when
you want to strongly communicate
the BBYO brand. The use of the
primary color palette reinforces
the colors in the BBYO logo.
MO NO CH RO MATIC
Monochromatic
Repeated use of the same or
similar colors in your design can
add a touch of sophistication
to your materials.

A library of BBYO graphic shapes
is available for use on Brand
Central, or contact:
Use shapes at 45 degree
angles (preferred). Otherwise,
horizontally or vertically. Other
positions are not acceptable.
Most communications will feature
BBYO graphic shapes in solid or
gradient colors. These shapes
represent the different paths
that can be taken to arrive at
the collective experiences BBYO
offers with a visual emphasis on
many diverse pieces coming
together to form a stronger,
larger whole.

Please note that these examples
demonstrate some—but not
all—improper uses of the BBYO
graphic shapes.
Try to avoid making predictable
patterns. The BBYO graphic
shapes represent individualism—
creating a pattern undermines
the meaning behind the
graphic shape.
Do not alter the ends of the BBYO
graphic shape in any way. They
may be widened or lengthened,
but not in a way that alters the
basic structure with a 90 degree
point at the each end.
3.05
BBYO Graphic Shapes
Best Practices
3.00 LOOK & FEEL
Do not use the elements with a forked tail
Do not use outlines around the graphic elements
Do not use the shapes in a predictable way
Do not use the shapes which go in multiple or opposite directions
20
Photographs should also
represent a good female/male
balance, and they should be
high-resolution to ensure highquality reproduction. Professional
photography can be accessed
through the International Office’s
Picasa Web Photos Account
(www.picasaweb.google.com).
Avoid body piercings,
tattoos, hand gestures and
revealing clothing.
Select images carefully to
reflect the personality of our
brand—happy, wholesome,
photogenic teens socializing
with one another or engaged
in BBYO experiences.
A defining characteristic of
the BBYO brand is vibrant
photography of BBYO teens.
When combining photos with
the other graphic elements, the
photo should take center stage.

Please note that BBYO should not be referred to as the B’nai B’rith
Youth Organization, but rather by its acronym “BBYO.”
BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve
more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences. For almost 90
years, BBYO‘s leadership programs the Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA, high
school fraternity) and the B’nai B’rith Girls (BBG, high school sorority) have
been providing exceptional leadership programs and identity enrichment
experiences, shaping the confidence and character of more than 400,000
alumni who are among the most prominent figures in business, politics,
academia, the arts and Jewish communal life. Now, BBYO’s network of
Jewish teens, alumni, parents, volunteers and philanthropists serves as
the Jewish community’s most valuable platform for delivering to the post
Bar/Bat Mitzvah audience fun, meaningful and affordable experiences.
With year-round activities in hundreds of local communities and inspiring
world-wide travel experiences, BBYO’s broad program menu enables
teens to explore areas of leadership, service, civic engagement, Israel
education and Jewish values.

Pitching is sending press materials to the appropriate contact for the purpose of publication.
This is usually done via email first, with a follow-up email a week later.
Include a concise personal note before copying and pasting the press release into the body of the email.
Make sure to include the “who, what when and where” in 1-2 sentences and then include a sentence about
why the publication’s audience would want to read/see this and/or would benefit from this information. Why
is it relevant?
Offer photos and/or interviews with the “expert” that you have identified.
Invite the reporter to attend the event/program to see it for him or herself.

Make sure you know what time he or she is arriving, have a phone contact number and have already
alerted people who you want to connect the reporter with that they will be interviewed. Make sure they are
comfortable with this first.
Make sure to identify the photos you will offer to the reporter – arrange them to include something with
BBYO on it.

BBYO Web 2 Print Guide
What is Web 2 Print? Web 2 Print is BBYO’s online marketing material ordering forum. It contains marketing materials
such as brochures, newsletters, flyers, stickers, balloons, AZA and BBG pins and more! Several items can even be
customized to include a teen name, your local mailing address and local event information! With the click of a button, you
can order the products you need for your region and either have them sent to your office or directly to the homes of local
teens!
How to Use Web 2 Print
1) Click on the “Print Now” icon on bottom left side of main Dashboard screen. You may need to hold down control
(Ctrl) and click “Print Now” at the same time. If you are having trouble, please make sure your pop-up blockers are
disabled (pop-ups are enabled).
2) Enter account information. Below is an example.
3) Press “Continue” or “Update Profile” as needed.
4) Here is the main site of the Web 2 Print System upon login:
5) Use the side navigation bar to order products by categories, i.e., promotional items, greeting cards, pledge cards,
brochures, etc.
*Costs for items vary. In some cases, the International Office covers printing; in other cases, the regional offices
will cover the cost. Regions pay for shipping and handling. Please read directions carefully on each piece.
*Delivery times for items vary. Please check the Delivery Schedule on the W2P site to find out how long your item
will take.
Now, let’s walk through a sample order:

7) You may click on “Enlarge View” to see a larger image of the item.

10) Next, you are given the option to customize your postcard. For this example, we will customize, then click
“Continue.” (Note: Not all items are customizable). You are brought to this screen:
11) Fill in your text according to the “Step” boxes. For example, “Message” will be placed within the “Personalize
Text” on the card. Fill in your all necessary information.
12) For some items, you are also given the option to personalize (address your recipient by name) your postcard.
13) Click on “Show Proof” to view your postcard before placing the order. Make sure you proof the sample carefully
before continuing with your order. Click Continue.
14) This item comes with envelopes. The next screen prompts you to select the quantity and “No Customization” or
“With Customization.”
15) If you selected “With Customization,” enter in the return address information. You will then be brought to your
shopping cart. If you selected “No Customization,” you will be brought directly to your shopping cart.
16) You may change your order and add additional items to your order or continue to checkout.
17) If all looks good, press checkout, make sure your address is correct and you will receive your order shortly!
