**The RSPB is urging potential members to upload their ‘moment with nature’ in an
effort to change perceptions of the charity and raise awareness of its broad remit
of caring for wildlife and the environment as well as birds, UK and globally.**

The [RSPB ‘moments’ campaign](http://www.rspb.org.uk/moments), created by Cascaid,
aims to boost membership and fundraising support by engaging and inspiring people
through those experiences of nature which touch or are relevant to people personally.

The campaign uses a series of banner ads and press adverts running in The Times 
and BBC magazines, including Countryfile, BBC Wildlife, Radio Times and BBC Gardener’s
World.

The adverts encourage people to visit the RSPB moments microsite and special competition
websites being run in partnership with the BBC and The Times where you can upload
a description and photograph of your personal ‘moment’.

Roger Lawson, strategy and planning director of Cascaid said:

> “The RSPB has a fairly scientific brand perception and this campaign aims to make
> a more emotional connection with people. Emotive engagement is the key: we want
> people to truly understand how relevant the RSPB’s work is to both the health 
> of the planet and to them personally. Those special moments when you connect with
> nature, whether it’s a walk in the countryside, spotting a hovering kestrel, or
> swimming in a clean ocean, are vitally connected to the conservation of the environment
> that not only birds but all living things require, including us!”
