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. v1.0 Updated September 2011 BRAND GUIDELINES 1 2.01 2.02 2.03 2.04 2.05 2.06 2.07 2.11 Seals 2.12 Usage 2.10 AZA & BBG Logo Sizes & Clearspace Logo Placement Clear Space Regions Taglines Color Variations Best Practices 2.00 Logo Use 1.01 1.02 Our Brandmark Brand Architecture 1.00 Introduction 3.01 3.02 3.03 3.04 3.05 3.06 3.07 3.08 Color Palette Color Palette in Use Typography BBYO Graphic Shapes BBYO Graphic Shapes Best Practices Image & Graphic Treatments Icons Overview 3.00 Look & Feel 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. 1.01 Our Brandmark 1.00 INTRODUCTION 3 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. A ZA & BBG Joe Galletta jgalletta@bbyo.org (202) 857-6521. A library of BBYO artwork is available for use on Brand Central, or contact 4 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. 2.03 Sizes & Clear Space 2.00 LOGO USE 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x 0.5x x x x CLEAR SPACE 0.75” or 95px MINIMUM SIZE 6 is ula. n ur r Morbi eu mauris id tellus laoreet rhoncus.

If using the angled logo, it should appear inside or alongside other angled BBYO graphic shapes—everything should be flowing in the same direction. Southern–Atlanta Council It is preferable to place the BBYO logo at the top of each publication. Alternatively, the logo can be placed within a graphic shape. 2.04 Logo Placement 2.00 LOGO USE 7 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. 2.05 Regions 2.00 LOGO USE RIGHTS Daughter Shabbat Nassau-Suffolk Region Morbi eu mauris id tellus laoreet rhoncus.

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. 2.06 Taglines 2.00 LOGO USE Find Yourself Here Where Young Lives Take Shape 9 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. 2.07 Color Variations 2.00 LOGO USE 10 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. 2.08 Best Practices 2.00 LOGO USE Do not mix the menorah or BBYO logo type with other elements AZA Do not use an outline on any part of the logo Do not use a different typeface for the logotype bbyo Do not use drop shadows on the logo Do not use an outlined logo Do not attempt to redraw the logo Do not create a glow around the logo Do not use unauthorized colors for 1-color logos Do not disproportionately scale the logo Do not use the full color logo on a background with not enough contrast Do not change the colors of the logo Do not alter the typographic lock-up 11 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. 2.10 AZA & BBG ashington, DC 20006 ww.bbyo.org A Z A M E M B E R ’S M A N UA L / I N S I D E I N F O R M AT I O N Member Manuals 2020 K St., NW, Washington, DC 20006 202.857.6633 T www.bbyo.org AZA Member’s Manual / Inside Information EXAM PLES BBG: less than 1 3/8” (height) AZA: less than 1 1/2” (height) This version is used only when the printed size of the seal is so small that the design detail in the standard version would be obscured: Small The elements have been simplified so that it is more easily read when it must appear very small. It would also be used when special printing techniques cannot reproduce the complexity of standard seal. These might include embroidery or printing on glass or metal. Standard This is the preferred version of the seal and should be used in most circumstances. BBG Member’s Manual / This Is Our Order Do not use the seals in conjunction with other logos. 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 in most situations—they should be reserved for special member communications and publications (see pg. 14 for everyday use). 2.11 Seals 2.10 AZA & BBG B B G M E M B E R ’S M A N UA L / T H I S I S O U R O R D E R FOR SMALLER SIZES STANDARD SEALS 13 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. 2.12 Usage 2.10 AZA & BBG ONE DAY AZA SHABBAT Ed posuere, ligula vitae vulputate rhoncus, orci turpis venenatis erat, eu pellentesque justo ipsum vitae mi.

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.

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. 3.04 BBYO Graphic Shapes 3.00 LOOK & FEEL IN USE 19 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. 3.06 Image & Graphic Treatments 3.00 LOOK & FEEL EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS WIT H B BYO GRAPHIC SH APES OVER PHOTOGR A PH Y R TE P A ER CH AIS 11 DR 20 UN F 21 Ed posuere, ligula vitae vulputate rhoncus, orci turpis venenatis erat, eu pellentesque justo ipsum vitae mi.

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.
