Social marketing and the agencies that deliver it

Tim Antric made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was partially successful.

From: Tim Antric

Kia ora

I am currently working on a PhD documenting the evolution of social marketing in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Can you please provide a list of all national agencies (government, non-profit and for-profit) that have been funded to undertake social marketing activity to encourage and enable people to make healthier lifestyle choices since 1990, along with the budgets made available by year?

I use the definition of social marketing as published by the HSC "Social marketing is the use of marketing principles and techniques to improve the welfare of people and the physical, social and economic environment in which they live.
It is a carefully planned, long-term approach to changing human behaviour. The behaviour change may involve doing something new (covering up in the sun), doing something differently (washing the car on the grass rather than the side of the road) or stopping doing something altogether (drink driving). Social marketing is also used to help create environments that support the desired behaviour. Social marketing uses many commercial marketing principles and techniques. However it aims to benefit the target audience and society as a whole rather than make a financial profit". This activity may include social advertising programmes, public relations, advocacy, community engagement, stakeholder engagement, social media, etc.

Can you also please provide any and all documents that informed the establishment of ALAC, HSC and HPA, and any documents that informed the winding up of ALAC and HSC, and copies of the annual reports of these agencies from 1990 onwards.

Can you also please provide any documents relating to support for the use of the terms social marketing and health promotion and/or documents that discourage such use.

Thanks for your response.

"In regards to the following part of your request, by budget are you
referring to advertising costs made available by year?"

I would prefer the total programme costs by year, this might include policy and strategy, stakeholder engagement, resource development, events, sponsorship, community engagement, public relations, and advertising. If this is not possible then advertising could serve as a proxy measure.

From: Lynne Walsh

Dear Mr Antric

I refer to your official information request that was partially
transferred to the Health Promotion Agency on Tuesday 20 August 2019. The
request to the Ministry of Health asked for information relating to social
marketing and the agencies that deliver it. The question “Can you also
please provide any and all documents that informed the establishment of
ALAC, HSC and HPA, and any documents that informed the winding up of ALAC
and HSC, and copies of the annual reports of these agencies from 1990
onwards” was partially transferred to HPA.

HPA has decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act 1982 to
extend the period of time available to respond to your request to 1
October 2019.

This extension is necessary because your request necessitates a search
through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time
limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Regards
