Text to Track
We didn't stop at informing parents, we also provided a tool to help them keep track of their students' progress. Few of these parents have smart phones, but they are active texters. Along with the Ad Council and a partner agency, we created an SMS attendance tracker.
The campaign was recognized by media outlets like The New York Times and Mobile Marketer.
