IBM Budget 2014 Youth Forum Digital Mobilization Case Study | Government Engagement Strategy

IBM & Ministry of Finance — Rapid digital mobilization campaign delivering measurable youth registration growth within a compressed timeline

Institutional Context

TRW CONSULT was engaged to support digital mobilization for a youth-focused Budget 2014 forum convened by IBM in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Finance.

The initiative aimed to facilitate structured dialogue between policymakers and young citizens on national fiscal priorities.

Seven days prior to the event, registration levels were significantly below target, placing the viability of the session at risk.
