Media Plan I was established out of Mediamix through Bruce Marsh. Marsh prompted the Division to design a new approach to reach United Church members through TV spots in primetime programming with the purpose of informing United Church members about the message and work of the Church in order to foster financial involvement. In that process members of the general public would be informed and develop an appreciation of the Church and its projects to prompt a positive response. Media Plan I was the name given to the pilot educational campaigns in Barrie, Peterborough and Ottawa in early 1974. The report on this project indicated that TV spots reached a broad United Church audience with strong acceptance but the radio spots followed at a distance when reaching members. However while using guest personalities on radio reached fewer people those listening were impacted.

Subseries contains correspondence, reports, promotional material, financial records and press re Media Plan I 1973-1974.
