Europe can be divided into several special groups of countries, which are facing similar problems in the healthcare sector – Healthy & advanced (Northwestern Europe), healthy & middle class (Southwestern Europe) and unhealthy & emerging (Central and Eastern Europe). These countries face major challenges in healthcare related to the health status (demography, epidemiology, life expectancy) and economy (GDP, health expenditures).
The future trends in healthcare will be influenced by the technological development and the population structure. These will have a great impact on the increase of public health expenditures. Cost cutting will be possible on three levels:
1. Macro level: budget caps, supply constraints, price controls
2. Micro level: public management and coordination, contracting, market mechanism
3. Demand side: patient cost-sharing, private health insurance

He is the graduate of the University of Economics in Bratislava (1999) and he helds a postgraduate MSc. Degree in health management services from the Semmelweis University in Budapest (2003). During 2002 – 2004, Peter was the chief advisor of Minister of Health Rudolf Zajac. He was fully responsible for the expert part of the health reform, for daily management of the Reform Team and for operative tasks linked to the ministry. In 2006-2007 he was member of Advisory Committee to Ján Gajdoš, Chairman of Healthcare Surveillance Authority in Slovakia. During 2006 – 2007, Peter was advisor to Lajos Molnár, Minister of Health in Hungary. Between 2007 – 2009, Peter was advisor to Tomáš Julínek, Minister of Health in Czech Republic.He is also the founding partner and CEO of the Health Management Academy. He teaches health care financing and health policy. Together with Rudolf Zajac, Peter is the co-author of a publication "Healthcare Reform Strategy – a Real Reform for the Citizen (2001)" that served as main source for the health care reform implemented in Slovakia in 2004. He is also the co-author of "Health Systems in Transition: Slovakia, 2011" a prestigious publication published by the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies.
The future is open and cannot be predicted. The goal of strategic scenario planning is to abandon our initial ideas about the future and realize that the world of tomorrow may not correspond with our today's ideas about it. Strategic scenarios will remove the blinds from our eyes, will help us overcome our blindness and get rid of our tunnel vision of the future.
They will enable us to "think about the unthinkable". They will enable us to think over and above of our usual - individual, group, organizational or national - frame ("thinking outside the box"). They will enable us to realize that the future can bring us great opportunities and great threats that we have never thought about and, therefore, did not prepare for. Strategic scenario planning "gives us new eyes". We will never see the future the way we used to see it before.
Consumer rules
This scenario describes events that led to a radical departure from conventional wisdoms about the medical profession, society, and healthcare provision. Driven by young patient advocacy groups and engaged citizens using up-to-date information technology a series of political, social, and economic changes ensued. There is a well-functioning competitive health insurance market with a large number of different health insurance products (health plans). Health plans can differ and compete with price, structure of the healthcare providers' network, different levels of applied managed care tools and the quality of administration as well.
Government serves
In this scenario, the government refused to appease with the doctors again, announced a sound fiscal policy and hired a young group of technocrats to prepare a strategic plan. This scenario describes a system, where the main health policy tools are regulations and the attempt to handle the side effects of overregulation. The government objective for maximizing benefits for the whole society resulted in overregulation and created lots of reporting duties and unnecessary bureaucracy. Each change had to be tuned with new regulations. Major Superbodies played the decisive role in the system.
Industry drives
No power group – neither doctors, nor consumers or social engineers – no matter how straightforward it appeared at the beginning, could resist the interests of profit-seeking industry for long. The capture of the stakeholders was sophisticated, slow, but perpetual and somehow inevitable. This is the story when industry drives. Industry took the lead and the focus of doctors and providers was on the procedures and not the patients. There was no demand for information; there was a demand for recommendation. Access brokers started to play an important role. Government was hiding behind the saying "the system is liberal, market players are responsible", while it was being deregulated and liberalized without a concept.
Doctors dictate
In this scenario only doctors ruled the system. The president of the Medical Chamber became the Minister of Health and every new law had to be discussed first with the Chamber of doctors while only after its approval, the law was released for further comments. The managers of hospitals were solely doctors, who had to be approved by the newly established ministerial advisory board constituted only from doctors. The power of doctors was further increased, because doctors acted also as staff at the Ministry of Health, heads of university hospitals, CEOs of insurance companies, health policy makers, academic staff at universities, and even as journalists reporting on medical affairs. An independent journalist, who was fired from a Medical Weekly characterized this situation as "white clan".

Bradley Walsh will make his debut in the Who-niverse next month when he appears as one of Jodie Whittaker's three companions.
The former Coronation Street star will play Graham O'Brien in the new series of Doctor Who, alongside the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie), Ryan Sinclair (played by Tosin Cole) and Yasmin Khan (plated by Mandip Gill).
But his adventures through time and space mean that his adventures in cash-building have been delayed.
Anne Hegerty, aka The Governess, has admitted she hasn't filmed The Chase since July due to Bradley's Doctor Who commitments.
The 60-year-old quiz queen revealed that the current batch of episodes airing were filmed last year, as their host Bradley has been otherwise engaged.
Speaking to The Mirror, Anne said: 'It can be hard going. The problem this year (is) Bradley has been so unavailable as he has been doing Doctor Who.
'Bradley was very determined that the one thing he was not going to give up was The Chase.
'We stopped filming for a few months when Bradley did Doctor Who. We did some shows in April and June. (But) I have not filmed since July.'
However, there's no bad blood, as Anne told Metro.co.uk that the new series of Doctor Who would be 'fantastic'.
Bradley was announced as part of the cast of the BBC1 sci-fi show last year, and admitted that he almost didn't take the role because producers were so secretive about the identity of the new Doctor.
And the secrecy spread to The Chase studios after Bradley – who has hosted the quiz show since 2009 – was cast.
Anne told us: 'We heard the rumour the same time everyone else did and we contacted the producers to ask if there was anything, but they didn't tell us and they said they're only just learning about it now.'
Doctor Who's new series will begin on 7 October on BBC1.

South Picene is an extinct Italic language that was spoken in east central Italy in the Marche and Abruzzo regions. The language is thought to be part of the Osco-Umbrian group of Italic languages. South Picene is also referred to as Mid-Adriatic or Paleo-Sabellic.
There are 23 known inscriptions on stone and bronze in the South Picene alphabet, which date from between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. The alphabet resembles the southern Etruscan alphabet. Most of the inscriptions are on grave stones, but some are on statues.

Sleeping with the Television On
4′ x 4′, Glue, Paper on Masonite
In the early days of television, no one really knew what to do with this new technology. So programmers did what they knew best, which was radio. They simply transferred radio variety shows to television. Shows like "The Milton Berle Show" and "Amos and Andy" got their start on radio and were among the first television hits in the 1940s.
In the 1950s and 1960s, while variety shows remained popular, situation comedies, dramas and westerns started to fill prime time hours. Quiz shows also had a run in the 50s, but those were undone by cheating scandals. "I Love Lucy" was the first monster sitcom, running from 1951-1957. "Gunsmoke," originally a radio show, came to TV in 1955 and didn't stop for 20 years, making it the longest-running drama in TV history ("Law and Order" would later tie it, but with nearly 200 fewer episodes).
Today, there are estimated to be over a billion television sets around the world. One can still see most of all of the old television shows on stations which show the classic reruns, and America continues to watch them with a passion.
In the last fifty years, television has evolved and grown into one of the most important forms of communication. Television links our homes to the latest news events around the world as well as many other viewings. What would we do without it?

The Morning Risk Report: U.S. Pace of Bribery Enforcement Slows
Readers can subscribe to The Morning Risk Report here: http://on.wsj.com/MorningRiskReportSignup. Follow us on Twitter at @WSJRisk.
Good morning. U.S. antibribery enforcement regressed to its mean after a record-setting spike in 2016, according to a report released Tuesday by business antibribery group Trace International.
The U.S. brought 14 foreign bribery cases in 2017, a decline by more than half from the 29 posted a year earlier but roughly in line with the average of the past decade, the group reported. Still, the U.S. brought more cases in 2017 than all other countries combined, Trace said.
The 2016 surge partly may have been due to uncertainty about the future of U.S. enforcement priorities, said Alexandra Wrage, president of Trace International. "Although that pace hasn't been maintained, what we have seen is a return to pre-2016 levels," she said.
Europe is a focus for U.S. authorities; U.S. probes involving bribes paid by foreign companies and individuals predominately focus on European countries, the study found. Twenty percent of investigations concerning bribes paid by U.S. companies related to payments to European officials, Trace said.
While extractive industries continue to face the brunt of enforcement activity globally, the financial services sector overtook the sector in the number of open U.S. investigations. The U.S. has brought more than two-thirds of the foreign-bribery enforcement cases worldwide over the past 40 years but other countries are starting to pick up the pace, said Ms. Wrage.
"Anti-bribery enforcement continues apace in the U.S. even as it continues to receive greater attention across the globe," she said.
Crisis of the week: MidMedx Group. Tissue-graft developer MiMedx Group Inc. postponed the release of its financial results after its board hired independent advisers to review the company's sales and distribution practices. Crisis-communications experts evaluate the company's handling of the matter.
Israeli firm to pay over bribery allegation. Elbit Imaging agreed to pay $500,000 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle charges the Israel-based real-estate and medical-technology company violated accounting-related provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Trump halts sale of Qualcomm. President Donald Trump on Monday blocked Broadcom Ltd.'s $117 billion hostile bid for Qualcomm Inc., capping a series of moves by the Trump administration reflecting concerns about an intensifying arms race between the U.S. and China over advanced technologies, the WSJ reports.
China plans government revamp. China unveiled plans for overhauling its government bureaucracy, combining some financial, markets and business regulators, as part of President Xi Jinping's efforts to strengthen Communist Party control over levers of power, the WSJ reports. The proposal was presented Tuesday to China's legislature.
Australian commission told of bribery at bank. Anthony Waldron, National Australia Bank's head of broker partnerships, told a royal commission examining the Australian banking sector about an alleged scandal in which NAB staff took cash bribes to grant loans. NAB said last year that 20 people had been fired or left the bank in connection with the matter, the Guardian reports.
Coincheck compensates clients after hack. Coincheck Inc., a Japanese cryptocurrency trading platform operator that was hacked in January, said Tuesday that it has completed compensating customers affected by the hacking and resumed some exchange services. A spokeswoman said the company used its own funds for the payment, the WSJ reports.
BofA CEO earned 250 times median worker's pay. Bank of America Corp. on Monday became the first big U.S. bank to unveil how much more its CEO makes than its typical employee. In 2017, Chief Executive Brian Moynihan earned 250 times as much as the median bank employee, the WSJ reports.
GE skips cash bonuses for top executives. General Electric Co. didn't pay a cash bonus last year to its top executives at corporate headquarters, which it said was the first time in the company's 125-year history. Last year, GE slashed its dividend, cut thousands of jobs and overhauled its leadership, the WSJ reports.
Volkswagen CEO's pay soars. Volkswagen said Tuesday that a rise in earnings to record levels pushed Chief Executive Martin Mueller's compensation package 40% higher to €10.14 million ($12.47 million) in pay and benefits, Reuters reports.
Met fires director. New York's Metropolitan Opera said Monday it has fired the conductor James Levine following an investigation prompted by reports last December involving multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Mr. Levine has called the allegations unfounded, the WSJ reports.
U.K. presses Moscow over poisoning. U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said it was highly likely Russia was behind the poisoning of a former spy. She gave Russian President Vladimir Putin until the end of Tuesday to explain what happened or face what she said were tougher measures against the Russian economy, Reuters reports.
Apple to buy digital-magazine service. Apple said it will acquire Next Issue Media LLC and its digital-magazine-subscription service Texture, a product that bundles together some 200 subscriptions into one monthly service. Apple is looking to beef up its services business, which includes music streaming and mobile payments, the WSJ reports.
HNA discusses sale of Hilton Grand Vacations stake.

by Mike Waggoner, Buffalo Sports Page
So after almost 10 years, in the summer of 2000-something, I left ESPN in Bristol to take a producer position in Los Angeles for a show called ESPN Hollywood that was to launch that fall. Working on a specialized sports and entertainment show while living in sunny southern California? Yes. The positives outweighed the negatives at that point in my life, so that July my brother Scott and I drove from Bristol, CT to Los Angeles, CA – a six day trek. Thankfully Scott stayed with me and helped me navigate through that enormous city until I got settled, then he flew back home. I won't get into the ESPN Hollywood show in great detail specifically just yet, but basically it was an original studio show, co-hosted by Mario Lopez – yes THAT Mario Lopez – and Canadian born Thea Andrews, who was one of the original hosts of what is now "First Take", but back then was called "Cold Pizza".
Our show unfortunately didn't last long, due to 'creative differences' back in Bristol (I love using that term… so rock and roll). ESPN Hollywood was dilligently "slapped" together each day by some of the finest people I ever got to work with. Man, we had fun. I was one of just three people to make the trip west from Connecticut, but once I got to know the people that would be teaming up with to launch the show, I was an honorary Angeleno in no time. The majority of us that worked on EH are all still friends on Facebook now, so it's nice to still be in touch with them, and I know they will get a kick out of these memories.
Bright Lights of Hollywood…Every Day
Anyhow, one of the challenges of working on ESPN Hollywood was that it was a daily feature driven show with fresh material EVERY day. Not a single piece I remember was ever re-run… probably 4-5 features each show. Amazing. Challenging. That meant that content and ideas were taken from anyone and everyone in the room who had something to offer. It merely had to have some sort of crossover from entertainment into sports to be fair game. Obviously, the bigger the name, the better. Anytime there was an event in Hollywood that had even an inkling of sports content, the ESPN Hollywood microphones and cameras would be there. Movie premieres were gold. Sports movies? Even better. A birthday party at a nightclub on The Strip for T.O.? (…yes, Terrell Owens was quite relevant then) …We'd get a credential. I do miss those impromptu club parties. My party days may be in my past, but let's be honest locals… Elmwood or Chippewa are not Sunset or La Cienega.
Hoops & Hollywood
So when it was announced that ABC was having their fall lineup announced at a party in West Hollywood, it was a no-brainer that our show would send a crew. Now one might ask… how was there a sports connection to ABC's TV original programming schedule that year? There really wasn't… BUT this was when the show "Desperate Housewives" was at its absolute peak. The celebrity couple at that moment was smokeshow diva Eva Longoria and San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker. For a show like ESPN Hollywood, it sounds funny to me many years later, but I can't explain what a huge deal this was. This was my first time doing interviews on a Red Carpet, and it was incredible. Let's just say, glitz and glam beats locker rooms. Sight defeats smell.
In the end, that interview was pretty uneventful and boring (thankfully just my voice OFF camera). When I listened to it after I got back to the office, I sounded so goofy and nervous. You can't fake that stuff, or at least it takes years of practice to do so. The footage itself of the two of them frolicking at the event got so overused, it wasn't long before cracks formed on the video from the tape — yes this was the days of tape. TMZ owes a lot to our groundbreaking show.
Now the additional goal that night was trying to get content from all of the other actors and actresses there. You have to understand, Hollywood events had never really been covered by ESPN at that time, and although adding the word Hollywood on our mic flags connected the dots somewhat, I was given plenty of puzzled looks and people saying "ESPN??!!… What are YOU doing here?!?!?"
Captain Kirk & Mr. Damon
My favorite moment of this party and the one that is my "go-to" when asked about what it was like working at ESPN Hollywood events goes like this:
In addition to the popularity of "Desperate Housewives", ABC had just as popular "Boston Legal", a law drama starring William Shatner, Captain Kirk of "Star Trek" fame. Coincidentally, this was the year the Boston Red Sox ended their curse by winning the World Series. Coincidentally part two, I was also in the midst of working on a piece profiling the Sox biggest Hollywood crossover at the time, Johnny Damon, their shaggy heavy bearded outfielder. Damon had already hosted SNL and had made guest appearances on a bunch of TV shows. Having relevant content from some of the legends of network TV would assuredly give my Damon piece certain credibility. These are the moments you can luck into while working on a feature.
So here is the exchange between me and Captain Kirk (Note: he reeked of booze and had eyes bloodshot out of a cannon. Clearly there was a pre-party.)
"Hi William, so wanted to ask you a few questions for ESPN Hollywood…"
"Sure, what's up."
"Yeah, so you guys are on a hit show Boston Legal based in the city that just won the World Series. One of their stars on the team is Johnny Damon, who has already made an impact in Hollywood… what are your thoughts on athletes like Johnny crossing over into the TV and movies scene?"
"Johnny Damon? Oh my God yes…. he has done such wonderful things here already. Incredible things that no one expected. He has brought all of the blacks in the world, the whites in the world, and brought them together (clenching his hands). So much impact in such a short time."
He then looked directly into our camera. "Who the fuck is Johnny Damon?!?!"
Lesson learned Wags. Never assume entertainers give a rat's ass about sports.

Electronic devices like iPhones, iPads and iPods keep us continually connected to the Information Superhighway. So the question is: do you ever disconnect? Do you carve time out of your hectic, full-throttle schedule to be still, sitting quietly, reading the Bible, praying and listening for God's voice? Or do you spend every free moment being entertained by an electronic device? We are Empty Cups that are filled every day by something or someone. We then pour out what was poured into us. Your cup will be filled with whatever you take in, so if you fill up on gossip, lies or bitterness, that's exactly what you will pour out. What gets poured into your Empty Cup each day? God wants to take away your emptiness, but he can't unless you give him permission. Talk to God. Give him permission to fill you with his limitless love, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Be willing to sit quietly in his presence, and allow his excellent Holy Spirit to flood every area of your life. Low on wisdom? Ask God for a refill – he will do more than just top you off. Your Cup will overflow.

Battle ReadyPosted: November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
Ephesians 6:12 tells us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Every day, we are up against the devil and his schemes. He pounds us with lies, hits us with accusations and wraps us up in condemnation, trying to exhaust us so we'll just submit to him and tap out. The devil wants you to believe that he is so strong he cannot be defeated. But that is a lie straight from the pit of hell. James 5:7 says "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." Don't show up to the fight unarmed. Be Battle Ready. Spend time each day in God's Word. Gear up and be prepared for the fight. Don't let the devil smack you around. Hit him with the Word of God and watch him tap out every time.
F.E.A.R.Posted: November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
The devil never comes at you with facts. Instead, he comes at you with F.E.A.R., which stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. As the Father of Lies, he cannot repeat any truth. In fact, he cannot remain in the presence of truth. If you find yourself overwhelm with F.E.A.R., fight back. Wield the double-edge sword of the Word of God. Speak it. Sing it. Proclaim it. As a believer in Jesus Christ, you have access to the Lord's power and authority. The devil wants you to remain in F.E.A.R. and he'll do everything he can to convince you that you are powerless to resist him. But that isn't true. You have the power, through the blood of Jesus shed on the cross for your sins, to defeat the devil. When he comes at you, come against him with the Word of God. He must (and will) flee because he is the one who is powerless to resist.
It's Your ChoicePosted: November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
We live in a culture focused on the freedom of Choice. But there is one that few are willing to talk about — the Choice to Choose God. Matthew 25:41 tells us that those who reject God will spend eternity in "the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." Hell was prepared for the devil — it was NOT prepared for you. God wants you to spend eternity in heaven, with him. But God will never force that upon you. He is the perfect gentleman. Will you accept his offer of spending eternity in heaven with him, or will you reject it? This is the one area that God will give you what you ask for. It's Your Choice.
Swimming in the Shallow EndPosted: November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
Romans 8:38-39 states that NOTHING in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. But too often our response to the depth of God is a shallow one: we reuse to believe that God loves us and wants to forgive us and that his word can bring the wholeness, restoration and refreshment we so desperately want. And here is where we start Swimming in the Shallow End. It's like being in a kiddie pool — it's too small to stretch out in and it's too shallow to sink down into, yet we try and try to swim in it. And this is where we get cheated — when we accept Satan's lies over God's truth, our disbelief grows and our faith stagnates. God has so much more for you, but you have to get out of the kiddie pool. Don't settle for the Shallow End of faith. Instead, accept God at his word — let yourself sink down into the depths of God's love, mercy, grace, compassion, forgiveness, protection, provision and peace. God's love is never-ending and it cannot be measured. So dive in — you won't drown in anything but God's inexhaustable love.
Behind The Iron CurtainPosted: November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
At some point, we all face difficulty: death, divorce, disease, disappointment – the Downpour Days – days of darkness and sadness where lingering doubts expand and hope shrinks. We look for a hiding place, away from the pain and trauma, but that only leads to isolation. And in the midst of the Downpour, if we allow ourselves to lose hope that better days are ahead, we find ourselves Behind The Iron Curtain – the deep, dark pit called depression. The devil will tell you that there is nothing to hope for – that your days will always be dark. But the devil's words are worthless because he does not have the power to predict the future. Do not be deceived -there is Hope. This Hope wants to be found. He goes by the name of Jesus and He is the only One who can pull back The Iron Curtain and lift you up out of the deep, dark pit of depression and despair. Call out to Him. He will answer your call.
What's Your Label?Posted: November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
What label are you wearing? I'm not talking about your clothes, your purse or your shoes. I'm talking about the labels that no one ever sees — the ones that keep following you, no matter how hard you try to outrun them. You know, the trashy ones. How many of those are you wearing? Those labels come from the devil — not from God. The devil will always label you, but God will always love you. In fact, God loves you so much that he allowed his very own son, Jesus, to be crucified on the cross so that your sins would be forgiven. Jesus died for you, because he loves you. So if you're wearing one of the devil's labels, throw it in the trash where it belongs. And the next time Satan tries to whisper in your ear, tell him to stop his trash talking. Refuse to let the devil remind you of what God has already forgotten.

It is a leap of faith to decide to marry another person. While love can get a couple pretty far in life, the partners to a union must also have a confidence in each other's power to make decisions that will support their shared and familial interests. When trust issues arise in Buffalo marriages, it can take a lot of work for the partners to get their marriages back in order.
Different problems can cause the solid foundations of a marriage to crumble, and it is an unfortunate truth that money is often the root of those problems. When the partners to a marriage have different spending habits or disagree about how to financially plan for their future, they may discover that they cannot stay married to each other. One financial problem that affects many American couples is financial infidelity, and it entails exactly what readers may expect.
Financial infidelity involves deceit between partners with regard to money issues. It may happen when a person lies to their spouse about how much money they spend, or it may happen when a person takes on debts without their spouse's knowledge. Financial infidelity can break the trust and confidence that partners have in each other and getting past such problems can be impossible for some individuals.
Money issues like financial infidelity are often the causes of divorces for New Yorkers. When partners cannot work together to plan for how their money is used, they may lose confidence in their ability to find common ground with their partners on other issues. A lack of confidence in one's spouse may cause a person to want to make a change, and when divorce is on the table individuals can discuss their questions with trusted divorce and family law attorneys.

At Emory University (in Atlanta, GA) we have a sort of unofficial mascot named "Lord Dooley." He's the Spirit of Emory, showing up at student-run events with an entourage dressed in all black to excite the crowds and cause mischief. Every year, there's an entire week of activities dedicated to him called Dooley's Week.
There's more free food than you can imagine, concerts by nationally known artists (think Girl Talk, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole) and a well-known comedian entertains the masses. Last year we had John Mulaney and we managed to book Amy Schumer years ago before she made it big. Needless to say, it's one of the biggest weeks on campus, especially since we don't have a football team!
This year, I wanted our Marketing department to actually get involved with the festivities. Years past our department barely covered them, let alone ran a campaign of their own to add to the fun. Instead of doing just our typical coverage video, I opted to organize a social media scavenger hunt!
Here's the inspiration: A local Atlanta street artist named Catlanta hides super awesome cat-shaped pieces of art around town and drops hints as to where they are on Instagram and Twitter. First to find it gets to keep it. It's a huge sensation across the city (especially with the youngins), and I have many friends whose life goal is to find one.
I contacted the mastermind behind Catlanta MONTHS before Dooley's Week to discuss possibilities. I wanted to hide 5 cats a day over 5 days on Emory's main campus, and one cat per day on our Oxford campus. The cats were to be designed to look like Lord Dooley, so I dug up dozens of photos from which Catlanta could draw inspiration. I wanted the design to be authentically his (with an Emory twist,) so I let his imagination run wild and he came up with these masterpieces:
Now came the hard part. Where the heck on campus was I supposed to hide all these cats, and how could I do it secretly so nobody saw me? I called on my fellow Emory experts (our Social Media Council) to help me brainstorm important but not super-obvious places to hide the cats throughout the week. I needed at least 25 places for the 25 cats, more in case of unforeseen circumstances (decorations, crowds, you know.) I compiled a list of 32 options and started mapping out my evil masterplan.
Prior to Dooley's Week, we wanted the students to get pumped up about the scavenger hunt, so we created a behind-the-scenes video called "The Making of #DooleyCat," and wrote a story about the campaign. We shared these throughout the week preceding Dooley's Week, and teased the cats on Instagram and Twitter.
I set out Monday morning before coming into the office for my first #DooleyCat 'drop' – the stock exchange at Emory's Goizueta Business School to ring the Opening Bell. It was snagged within 5 minutes and so the hysteria ensued. The next few days were a blur, with me running around campus all day hiding cats, and trying to do so without being seen. By Thursday of that week a few students recognized "the lady with the purse full of #DooleyCats" at one of the events. Hey, you can only make yourself so invisible! Not all of us have Invisibility Cloaks like Harry Potter (lucky).
#DooleyCat takes in the scenic – if a bit overcast – view this morning. #DooleysWeek
A photo posted by Emory University (@emoryuniversity) on
By the end of the week, it was rare if a #DooleyCat wasn't snatched up within a few minutes of the picture being posted. I had to revise my hiding places a bit in order to make them harder to find, but they were still found within minutes. By Friday evening I had hidden 25 cats over 5 days, walked/ran at least 6+ miles throughout the week, and only had to mediate a few arguments over rightful #DooleyCat owners.
My office knew it was a success just based on the students' interest and comments throughout the week, whether on social or heard around campus. But the remarks that came at the end of the campaign from students and staff alike really hit home. Prior to this, our Marketing department had never done something so "fun" (my colleagues' exact words) and we rarely got involved with student-run events on campus. This success proved how important it is to connect with and understand the students on your campus. I received numerous emails from a few who figured out my identity, asking that we continue this for years to come. It was "the best Dooley's Week ever," and a new tradition was born.
You definitely learn a few things planning a large-scale campaign like this. Here are some #protips on how you can conceptualize and run a flawless social media campaign on your campus!
#ProTips for a successful Social Media Scavenger Hunt:
- Plan well in advance. If it is local art you would like to hide, contact the artist at least 6 months prior to your campaign to ensure there is enough time for design development and fine-tuning.
- Talk budget early on with your team. Depending on the artist, this could be very cheap or very expensive. Our artist loves being involved with the community, so we got a great deal and were able to order more than planned. This meant more places to hide them, which required more planning as well.
- Have an outline (or map) of where you are going to hide your little gems. Create a rough timeline to plan when and where you will be hiding each piece of art to make your life a little easier. Because let's face it, this isn't the only thing you'll have to focus on ya busy bee!
- There's no "I" in team. If you can, enlist help from your coworkers and resources on campus! It takes a lot more time than you could imagine hiding this much art, and you will need extra hands on deck.
- Coordinate with Campus Leaders to get the word out. I manage a Social Media Council at Emory which consists of 15-20 social media experts from various departments and divisions. Involve them in your process so they, too, can build the excitement on campus.
