Ban Ki-moon Pitches Global Advertising Community to Help the United Nations “Create the Biggest Campaign Ever for Humanity”

“We Need You to Help Us Find the Best Way to Tell the Stories, I’m Asking You All to Use Your Creativity and Innovation to Help Us Transform a Complex Agenda Into a Workable Story”

CANNES, FRANCE–(Jun 28, 2016) – United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon opened up the afternoon on Friday to a full auditorium, at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where the brightest and most creative minds from the advertising, marketing and innovative communications in the world convene in one place for an entire week.

Mr. Ban came to the event on a mission to unite a community that is known for their competitive nature. “I have never been more convinced, that when we work together we are stronger, that’s the key to a better world,” said the UN Chief. This message being delivered less than an hour after flying in from Cuba, where he witnessed a historic peace deals between Colombia and FARC.

Mr. Ban gave the packed room a quick overview of what is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and what it took to get 193 countries to agree on one agenda. He pointed out that if the United Nations is able to bring the world’s leaders together under a defined set of goals, then the advertising industry can also come together to help use the power of advertising, marketing and innovative communications and find the best way to tell the stories about some of the world’s biggest humanitarian issues.

“This is Cannes — so I have come with a pitch,” Mr. Ban said. “I know all of you have tremendous power to shape opinions. You are master storytellers. And I want you to help us create the biggest campaign ever for humanity.”

After his introduction speech and pitch, Mr. Ban welcomed up to the stage a panel made up of, what they have coined, the “Big six.” The Chief Executives of the ad industry holding groups that united on stage were, Yannick Bolloré, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Havas; Michael Roth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IPG; John Wren, President and Chief Executive Officer of Omnicom; Maurice Lévy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Publicis Groupe; Sir Martin Sorrell, founder and Chief Executive Officer of WPP and by live stream Chief Executive Officer and President of Dentsu, the “mad men” as Mr. Ban called them, to discuss the new initiative they are working on called Common Ground.

In a joint statement released by the six companies, “The Common Ground initiative recognizes that the global issues the UN has identified transcend commercial rivalry. By working in partnership to support the Sustainable Development Goals, we want to demonstrate that even fierce competitors can set aside their differences in order to serve a wider common interest. We hope others in and beyond our own business decide to do the same.”

Also announced within the Common Ground initiative, is a fund that will be developed to exclusively support the winning ideas from the Cannes Young Lions competition. The funds will be used to give the winning ideas that support the Sustainable Development Goals the greatest chance for success.

Mr. Ban’s attendance to the Cannes Lions is an important recognition of the power and impact of advertising & media for social impact, and the role the advertising industry plays in shaping the views of the public on important issues. There is no other group of people who are better positioned to have the largest impact in the shortest amount of time in educating and activating the public on a global scale than the advertising industry, whose job it is every day to seduce and entice consumers to purchase goods and services. It is these same set of skills that make the advertising, marketing and innovative communications professional leaders the perfect partners for the United Nations to educate and activate the global community to address what are the biggest issues facing our world today.

Mr. Ban made it clear to the audience that this is about getting everyone involved, asking for other agency groups to step up to the challenge using the power of advertising, marketing and innovative communications — to help make sure the SDGs are the business of all businesses — and the business of all people, inspire all, especially young people and women, and find the best ways to tell the story.

“We are the first generation that can end global poverty, we are the last generation that cannot risk climate change before it is too late” was the tag line used by Mr. Ban in his pitch, adding that “In the short term, we want the 2030 Agenda to be known by 2 billion people. We want to mobilize one million people as change agents. Help us reach far and wide.”

The Third Annual MFSI Summit Encourages Media Leaders to Promote the Use of Media for Social Impact

NEW YORK, NY–(Jun 16, 2016) – PVBLIC Foundation and the United Nations Office for Partnerships hosted the third annual Media for Social Impact Summit on June 1st at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. This year’s summit united nearly 250 top media & advertising executives to foster intelligent conversation about the power of media to address the world’s most pressing social and developmental issues.

The Summit highlighted the most engaging and collaborative campaigns in the social impact space. Some of the featured campaigns included: a sneak peek of UNICEF’s ‘Imagine’ song, the ‘Angry Birds Happy Planet‘ Campaign launched at the International Day of Happiness by Sony Music Entertainment, Department of Public Information and the UN Foundation. ‘Love Has No Labels‘ by the Ad Council and ‘Youth 4 Global Goals‘ presented by AIESEC to name a few.

“The goal of the summit is to aggregate the power of a room full of media executives and influencers to help change the conversation, using media for social impact. We today use media and advertising to influence people and everything they do; from what they buy to what they wear to where they shop — media influences all of our decisions. With this power of influence, we have created some of the world’s greatest brands. We believe that this power of influence could also be utilized to connect people at a level of consciousness that engages them to affect change, to do good and care about building a better tomorrow, today,” explains Sergio Fernandez de Cordova, Co-Founder and Chairman of PVBLIC.

The Media for Social Impact Summit aims to inspire and activate media executives around social good campaigns to help solve global issues and raise awareness around the Sustainable Development Goals. An example of activating and developing partnerships was started a year ago, at the last summit. A collaborative 15-year strategy, a partnership between PVBLIC Foundation and its partners Mekanism, Creative Science Labs and Exit 10, called #OneforAll was soft launched at the Summit. By presenting the current efforts of the #OneforAll team, PVBLIC called on other participants to pick their #OneforAll and further that by making commitments and get involved in this long term strategic vision, which aims to be the activation platform to engage and inspire people to act. Therefore, getting them educated and engaged in the Sustainable Development Goals agenda, raising awareness and understanding and committing to them one at a time.

“In September 2015, all member states came together and adopted the new Sustainable Development Goals, and what is very important now is that as many people as possible know about the goals and what it actually means. It’s all about changing the world and that is why it is so important that all of you are here today, because we really need your help,” says Ms. Ann de la Roche, Officer-in-Charge and Chief of Operations, UNOP.

“You are here today because you are the powerful individuals that care about our world. You have already proven your immense talents in various industries and now you have the chance to transcend this room and help us make history by amplifying the message of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and make sure that is heard by everyone,” states David Nabarro, Special Adviser on 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to the United Nations Secretary – General.

Award-winning journalist Nadira Hira hosted the daylong event, which engaged media specialists and UN delegates in a series of panel and roundtable discussions, keynotes, and interviews, directed toward attaining the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Speakers included Geena Rocero, Founder of Gender Proud; Christie Marchese, Founder of Picture Motion, Mauricio Sabogal, Global CEO of Kinetic Worldwide; Jacki Kelley, COO of Bloomberg Media; Terre Blair, Executive Producer of Big Problems. Big Thinkers. Film; Jesse Robinson, Founder of Tyler Robinson Foundation and Peter Koechley Co-CEO of Upworthy.

UPDATE: World Poker Fund Holdings Announces Beta Launch Figures for CelebrityWorld.com

WPFH’s CelebrityWorld.com Beats PartyPoker, FullTiltPoker, BoDog and Poker Stars in Every User Relevant Visitor Data Category by Over 1,000% or More in First 30 Days

LOS ANGELES, CA–(Jun 10, 2016) – World Poker Fund Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: WPFH), a leading developer and operator of online and event-based social gaming platforms and brands, today announced its initial user data and revenue figures for online social gaming platform and online casino CelebrityWorld.com in its first 30 days in beta. Each visitor and player has spent an average of 43 minutes on CelebrityWorld.com, engaging a staggering 23 pages per session, generating a total of 188,000+ page views from approx. 2,500 initial users. All CelebrityWorld.com users and site traffic has been 100% organic with no marketing, sponsorships, or advertising of any sort. Unexpectedly, CelebrityWorld.com produced revenues surpassing $13,000 USD since the May 1st beta launch from social mingling upgrades and “free-play” games converting to premium add-ons and “re-ups” of chips (coins) after the free incentives were played. The milestone puts WPFH approximately 3 months ahead of its operational, development and marketing forecasts.

CelebrityWorld is engineered to foster a higher level of emotional investment and subsequently deeper monetization avenues, providing an all over richer experience than its traditional gaming competitors. As a result CelebrityWorld is generating higher user engagement levels on first time players and even higher levels on returning players, due to the real-time stickiness of the social gaming and celebrity content. Meanwhile, other online poker and casino sites do not have the same capacity for growth due to limited content and entertainment options. A more fully cultivated online experience is currently in higher demand than ever by youths, millennials (18-34) and the 40-65 year old demographics. Traditional online Poker, casino and social gaming sites lack a virtual immersive experience by only providing a single game or gaming offer, versus CelebrityWorld’s gaming + entertainment + virtual interaction + personal access to your favorite celebrities — the biggest differentiating factor.

Platform Numbers: CelebrityWorld.com Visitor Data, May 2016
NEW Players / Users: 2,560 (registered, guests, players)
Number of Sessions / Visits: 8,038
Page Views Per Player / Visitor: 23.48 (best in the industry)
Total Page Views: 188,746
Time on Site Per Player / Visitor: 43:41 (43min, 41sec – best in the industry)
Bounce Rate: 4.40% (best in the industry)

Competitive Numbers: CelebrityWorld.com Vs. Top Online Gaming Sites:

How does CelebrityWorld.com measure up against the top online gaming sites: WPFH’s CelebrityWorld.com is beating PartyPoker, FullTiltPoker, BoDog Poker Stars and Casino.com in just about every site and user visitor data category available by over 1,000% or more. Example:

PokerStars PartyPoker Casino.com CelebrityWorld.com
*Page views per visitor 1.25 2.77 1.21 23.48 *Ranked #1
*Time on site 1:24 3:07 1:26 43:41 *Ranked #1
*Bounce rate: 82.60% 9.70% 88.30% 4.40% *Ranked #1

*The data based was collected from Amazon data services and Google Analytics
*Details

Maurice Mills, CTO of WPFH and the chief architect of CelebrityWorld.com, commented: “We’ve spent over $1.5 million dollars and thousands of man-hours dedicated to creating new and innovative technologies. Our patented platform(s) is being prepared for a full-scale launch this summer, but I can’t tell you how much fun and insightful it’s been to work with our WPFH and “Celebrity World” celebrity ambassadors so far. We’ve spent the last 9 months defining what they feel would resonate with their fans, and the initial 30 day results of the Beta launch tells us that we hit the nail on the head.”

WPFH’s publicist, spokesperson and President of 1-800-PublicRelations (“1800pr”) Matthew Bird also commented, “Our PR and communication strategy coupled with our celebrity brand ambassadors and experiential gaming environment puts CelebrityWorld.com into a league of its own. We are simply providing a better playing and social gaming experience than anyone else and data speaks for itself — ours users and players spend more time on CelebrityWorld than other popular online gaming sites. I can’t thank Soulja Boy, Jamie Gold, Tracy McGrady and the amazing celebrity owners we have for creating the runway for us to launch CelebrityWorld.com on. That said, the best is still yet to come. We have some BIG things coming that should make for some interesting gossip and chatter!”

We’ve spent the last 9 months defining what they feel would resonate with their fans, and the initial 30 day results of the Beta launch tells us that we hit the nail on the head.”

We are simply providing a better playing and social gaming experience than anyone else and data speaks for itself — our users and players spend more time on CelebrityWorld than other popular online gaming sites. I can’t give enough thanks to Soulja Boy, Jamie Gold, Tracy McGrady and the amazing celebrity owners we have for creating the runway for us to launch CelebrityWorld.com on. That said, the best is still yet to come. We have some BIG things coming that should make for some interesting gossip and chatter!”
