Stem Cell Education Campaign Delivers Major Success at the Polls

November 8, 2006


When Vitae Caring Foundation teamed up with SaintMax Worldwide in the Spring of 2006, the proponents of the Missouri stem cell Amendment claimed a 28 point lead in the polls. With six months to election day the polls showed proponents of embryonic stem cell research held a 59% to 31% advantage over opponents.

That's when Vitae and SaintMax went to work. The partners produced three powerful, 30 second spots which were broadcast on local TV stations throughout the state of Missouri.

The first fruits of this campaign were seen in September, when new polls showed thousands of Missourians had switched from "favoring" the Stem Cell Amendment to "undecided". By the time election day rolled around, the campaign had closed the gap to 50% in favor to 49% opposed.

Amendment 2 passed but the campaign was considered a success because it closed the margin of victory to just 2 percent of voters. Vitae and SaintMax had found a message that resonated with voters and executed a plan to get that message out.

NaPro VNR July 20, 2004

When Dr. Thomas Hilgers and the Pope Paul VI Institute needed to communicate the powerful and uplifting message of NaPro Technology, it turned to SaintMax Worldwide. Working with the American Academy of Fertility Care Professionals (AAFCP), a storytelling team from SaintMax produced, wrote, videotaped and edited the NaPro story and then distributed that same story to millions of local television viewers by using the Networks' own newsfeed systems. CNN, Fox and CBS News all picked up the story and offered it to their affiliates.

This is the kind of media savy and storytelling know-how that SaintMax brings to every project. By tapping into a wealth of network, local and syndication television experience, SaintMax works hard and works smart to deliver the biggest bang for it's partners.
