SSA Creative Promotions

A division of SSA Public Relations, SSA Creative Promotions is a full-service consumer promotional agency specializing in television, motion picture and product sweepstakes promotions.

SSA Promotions is a one-stop consumer sweepstakes promotion center, handling all areas of sweepstakes promotions from creative to execution to fulfillment.

Our Process

Clients and SSA Promotions work together to identify the goals of the sweepstakes promotion, identify the target audience or consumer group and create a workable budget.
SSA Promotions prepares various creative approaches to the sweepstakes promotion – reporting daily to the client and adjusting the design until the pieces come together.
Rules and Regulations are prepared and finalized. Prize packages are secured. State filings are completed and sweepstakes bonds are secured.
Next, SSA Promotions brings local stations or cable affiliates aboard to participate (through emails to Promotion Executives, Sales Executives and General Managers).
SSA Promotions recruits advertiser/sponsors for the promotion, as appropriate to the campaign.
On-air promos and other advertising support materials are designed and distributed to participating media such as local newspapers, magazines, television stations or cable operators. Customized Post Office boxes are set up. Designed and produced in-house by SSA Advertising, printed materials are manufactured and distributed through to retail participants and/or broadcast or cable participants (i.e. official entry forms, cards, stickers, flyers).
Finally, as the promotion concludes, we monitor the level of entries and select (either randomly or judged) the various prize level winners (both nationally and locally).

Throughout the process, your SSA Promotions account representative and creative team are always accessible – and become part of your own marketing team. Briefings by e-mail or phone occur daily, until the promotion is concluded and the results are in — helping to generate a successful launch of your cable television network or series, television special or feature motion picture, retail product or service.

SSA Public Relations clients have access to SSA Promotions full creative, development and fulfillment resources as part of their ongoing association with SSA.
