D. Methodology/Project Understanding
Describe the approach and methods that will be used to meet the Scope of Work. Also, identify
any potential concerns or problems that your firm anticipates during the term of this contract.
Approach and Methodology
(matter)
At (matter), we specialize in crafting research-informed, community-sensitive creative
campaigns that break through noise with clarity, consistency, and integrity. For the City of
Diamond Bar’s Ballot Measure Public Education and Outreach Services, our approach is
designed to not only inform but also empower residents to understand what’s at stake—while
remaining fully compliant with non-advocacy guidelines.
Phase I: Discovery and Research Alignment
Our team will initiate the engagement with a working session involving City staff and FM3 to
align on key findings from the opinion survey. This includes:
• Identifying public awareness gaps, demographic triggers, and communication
sensitivities.
• Evaluating the City’s existing communication infrastructure and identifying underutilized
channels.
• Mapping priority audiences based on language, geography, and civic engagement level.
Phase II: Strategic Messaging and Creative Development
We believe messaging must be simple, accessible, and consistent—especially when navigating
complex fiscal topics. Our creative process includes:
• Developing a nonpartisan messaging framework that explains the ballot measure in
clear, relatable language.
• Creating content in English, Mandarin, and Korean, with cultural nuance and design
sensitivity to ensure inclusivity.
• Designing modular creative assets—print mailers, social posts, email templates, video
scripts—that can be deployed flexibly over time.
Phase III: Campaign Activation
We will collaborate with the City to phase communications over the campaign’s long runway,
from initial awareness to decision-point clarity. This includes:

Education and Outreach Services
• Supporting the launch of community education events, speaker presentations, and City-
hosted Q&As.
• Providing toolkits and templates the City can use across departments and channels.
• Advising on message calibration in response to FM3’s follow-up tracking surveys.
Phase IV: Reporting and Collaboration
(matter) will conduct regular milestone meetings with City staff to present creative drafts, track
performance, and make iterative adjustments. All work will be reviewed and approved through a
shared planning framework to ensure timely deployment and message alignment.
Anticipated Concerns and Mitigation Strategies
Concern Response Strategy
Voter confusion or misinformation We prioritize clarity, use plain language,
and emphasize fiscal transparency
without advocacy.
Multilingual engagement gaps Native-speaking translators and culturally
competent creative ensure resonance
across Mandarin and Korean audiences.
Long campaign runway Our phased approach is built to sustain
engagement across 12+ months, with
evergreen messaging and scalable
content.
Platform saturation We balance analog and digital tools—
including printed collateral, newsletters,
and face-to-face outreach—to reach
residents where they are.
