COMMENTS 2014 ends with an overall achievement of our goals. Nevertheless, we need to consider: a) Linear goal-setting (methodology used in July) doesn’t consider seasonality of our operations, so it’s not accurate enough. b) The current metrics may be consider «vanity metrics» until we won’t be able to control our conversion results. EXPA analytics will support this.

AIESEC International Q4 2014 Report

Next steps SECOND SEMESTER OVERVIEW. According to the original plan, once achieved a certain integration and uniformity in our brand presence, the second semester will focus on increasing the quality of and efficacy of our digital presence, with the following activities (all to go through the re-planning process).

- Entity Templates Roll-out - TXP Evolution finalization - EXPA CRM Development - Mobile App launch (beta at IPM) More strategic elements will be the reinforcement of the IGO relationships (looking into the October Event opportunities), and the Second Wave of YouthSpeak.

MORE DETAILS ON PROJECTS

project digital revolution - aiesec.org GENERAL DESCRIPTION Digital revolu-on aims to begin the full digital integra-on and alignment of the organiza-on’s online pla8orms. Including webpages and sub-­‐brands. It provides a roadmap for en--es to align with the new digital strategy of AIESEC Interna-onal which includes web, OP/GIS, YouthSpeak, IC, Y2B and other pla8orms like culture shock and mobile applica-ons. The end goal is to witness significantly increased lead genera-on and user conversion as a result of succinct and compelling marke-ng and communica-ons throughout our brand experience and key synergy collabora-ons to enable a fully integrated brand experience from the beginning of the customer journey to the end. In summary: we are modernizing AIESEC and enabling it to become digital-­‐first.

PROGRESS STATE New website launched with three weeks of delay.

Entity Templates crowdfunding (10k€) launched and completed.

Entity Templates release got postponed to Jan 16th.

Next steps: content improvement, conversion tracking, entity templates roll-out according to plan.

SYNERGIES INVOLVED • • • • •

Opera-ons – linkages to key programs and evolu-ons PD - linkages to B2B and supporting inbound marketing Innovations - communicating our philosophy and leadership development model IM - interconnections with GIS/OP Network - consultancy, content, ideas.

YouthSpeak GENERAL DESCRIPTION Youthspeak aims to provide AIESEC with a digital engagement tool to beQer understand our own audiences and external audiences. Data and insights will provide us with data-­‐driven content for B2B and B2C marke-ng, including shaping how we communicate and posi-on AIESEC. It also provides us with tool that is a soR-­‐selling tool to engage people who are seeking for low-­‐commitment ways to get involved and support. The greatest return of YouthSpeak is credible data that shapes the future of AIESEC and also our focus area of strategic engagement with the UN and suppor-ng organiza-ons. Connected with the broader PR strategy, it will shape Y2B and its agenda themes.

PROGRESS STATE Despite a slow start, mainly due to our lack of focus on communicating the value of the platform to the Network and AI, especially after Steering Team Meeting the results took off, making us hit the goal of 25k responses at the midnight of the deadline. Great emotions on BXP! Unfortunately, part of the questions which AIESEC agreed to include in the survey on behalf of PwC were missed out. We invested €650 in paid FB advertisement and re-engaged the network (through marketing newsletter and focused communication with entities partnering with PwC, but with very poor results – less than 5k responses).

Txp bRANDING GENERAL DESCRIPTION As support to the TXP evolution project, following up to TXP summit output we are developing a globally aligned value proposition for TXP, to which a full sub-brand development will follow.

The initial aim was to launch it internally in MCP summits, so to have recruitments and global content from 2015 aligned with such value proposition.

PROGRESS STATE

SYNERGIES INVOLVED

System delays and difficulties on the network’s side for another big change management process de-prioritized the initiative. A standard value proposition and some basic marketing assets based on the TXP Summit Output were developed, ready to be released with the TMP EXPA Features.

Activities are currently on hold.

• AE (project leader) • OPS -network implementation • GC – Digital adaptation • Argo – Design CEEDer.

AIESEC International Q4 2014 Report

NETWORK SUPPORT GENERAL DESCRIPTION Two main goals: - Align the global sub-brands implementation across the network, given the fact that AIESEC is getting digital and the digital value proposition should be the same across the globe. (Focus on Global Citizen and Global Talent) - Support Top Tier Entities with their Marketing challenges, through a dedicated GST.

PROGRESS STATE

SYNERGIES INVOLVED

First part was successfully achieved: with the shift of AIESEC in MoC and India, we can say that over 90% of our exchanges in our Network will happen under the Global Citizen and Global Talent flags. SOGA data will give us more accurate data.

Top entities support progressed way slower than expected, for GST management challenges due to GO’s overload and difficulties on managing piloting entities. B2B Guidelines for iGIP are ready, as well as a framework for GCDP impact measurement for iGCDP and a promo video focused on Teaching for oGIP.

• OPS, INN, BD – research • OPS – strategic feedback and network communications

AIESEC International Q4 2014 Report

Mobile app GENERAL DESCRIPTION The collaboration with KiwiLocal will give us the opportunity of developing for free a mobile app available for all EPs and AIESECers in a common geographic location, allowing us to send Global – or MC – level push notifications (fire-fighting and community building), with the opportunity to then expanding it to an evolution of our Existing Culture-Shock system.

PROGRESS STATE

SYNERGIES INVOLVED

Very smooth relationship with developers, helped by pre-existing knowledge on vendors’ management after the experiences with Rockstar. All communication is managed to a project management tool called Trello.

Beta Version will be released at IPM (Android confirmed, most probably also iPhone).
