Campaign Creative Plan

730,000 residents.235 new acres.1 better park for all.

Most of Liberty State Park has sat locked behind a fence for decades. It's time to clean it and open it for all of Hudson County. Let's finally take down the fence and build a better park for all.

Creative workstreams
Three core ideas

Community-driven. Rooted in everyday needs. Not politics.

Everything we make should reinforce these three ideas — championed by the Hudson County Executive, told in the voice of parents, kids, seniors, coaches, community leaders, environmental advocates, and neighbors.

01

More Park for More People

Every resident deserves a great park — regardless of age, zip code, or how they choose to use it.

02

Public Land Stays Public

235 acres of Liberty State Park belong to the people of New Jersey — not to private interests. Public land is a public right, and it stays that way.

03

Clean Up the Fenced Land

After 50 years behind a chain-link fence, it's time to remediate the land and open it up.

Our mission

Built to serve the community. Owned by the public.

A Better Park for All is a coalition of Jersey City, Hudson County, and statewide residents fighting to reclaim Liberty State Park's 235 fenced, polluted acres for the public. Public land is a public right.

We fight for a park where kids play on real fields, tracks, and multi-use courts; youth leagues have room to compete; seniors and neighbors gather year-round in community spaces; and the park's natural land welcomes birders, walkers, and anyone who needs a breath of fresh air.

A Better Park for All.

Strategy and campaign management, table-setter and validator video, coalition website / landing page, static content, finalized materials and one-pagers, and polling. Stakeholder deck and coalition materials to be reviewed by the full team as overall outreach materials.

Legislative, Regulatory Lobbying

Lobbying Team (Nevins, Eric, Kevin and Mike)

Direct engagement with elected officials, staff, and civic leadership across the county.

Audiences

Two tracks. Two conversations.

Everything downstream — messaging, executions, media plan — flows from who we're actually trying to reach.

Hyper-engaged general public

Segmented from cross-tabs data (once the county poll is fielded), this will be a very engaged sliver of the electorate — the most active and influential with elected officials. (Further segmentation will be made by demographic with tailored messaging.)

Stakeholders

Elected officials, staff, and civic leadership. What they see everywhere they look shapes what they feel able to move on.

Why this matters now

Free, family-friendly recreation is an affordability issue.

Families across Hudson County are stretched by rising costs and property taxes. A clean, open, public park — the fields, courts, and gathering spaces the community actually needs — is one of the few things that gives families relief without asking them to pay for it. Fifty years is long enough. And it's the same park people already love — everything new is built on land that's been off-limits for 50 years.

i · The Problem
A Better Park for All

Most of Liberty State Park is still fenced off.

235 acres of Liberty State Park are fenced off from the community. But we can build a park that serves everyone: from pickleballers to birders, youth athletics to environmental preservation. Opening up Liberty State Park serves everyone.

Before / after
Side-by-side of the fenced center today vs. the opened park after remediation, so stakeholders can see the change in one frame.

What's the first part to a team's success? Having a space to play and practice. Good courts and fields aren't just important for athletes when they're competing, but for all kids when they're spending time off their iPads and outside together. And without good courts and fields, kids can never experience winning a championship. Let's tear down the fence, open Liberty State Park and make a Better Park For All.

I've spent a lot of time in Liberty State Park. I used to run through it, but now I can just take walks. I always see the perimeter of the fence, wondering when I'll get to see the other side. When will I see more kids and families enjoying this land that belongs to all of us. I've waited long enough. It's time to tear down the fence, open Liberty State Park and make a Better Park For All.

With the rising costs of everything, Hudson County deserves a place where parents can bring their kids to play. For Free! A place for the entire community to come together. Not just an “affordable” option, a free one. Opening Liberty State Park up with more places for families can make life better for families near and far. It's time to tear down the fence, open Liberty State Park and make a Better Park For All.

I've devoted my life to preserving the environment. We all should care about the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the world around us. Having a toxic site so close to home is damaging and dangerous. New Jersey needs to clean it up, preserve it, and turn it into something useful — for us, for the animals, for our air, and our water. It's time to tear down the fence, open Liberty State Park and make a Better Park For All.

A great public park shouldn't depend on your zip code or your income. For 50 years, 235 acres of Liberty State Park have sat fenced off and out of reach — and the families who live closest have waited the longest. Every resident of this city deserves a clean, open, welcoming park. That's what a better park for all really means.

07 · Timeline

Where we are, where we're going, and what has to happen first.

Phase 1 is the build — poll in field, coalition landing page, and creative development. Phase 2 is the 3-month, two-track paid media launch after Labor Day, gated by the poll's public release.

Phase 1 · BuildNow → Labor Day

Getting the campaign ready to launch.

Produce campaign ecosystem before public launch - four work streams running in parallel: digital landing page, creative production, field poll, and conducting outreach both for both stakeholders and elected rollout strategy.

01

Countywide poll

Where we are
Poll draft to be circulated today; final edits suggested by July 31 — fielding scheduled for August.
What has to happen
Finalize instrument, field the poll, deliver toplines + cross-tabs.
Why it gates launch
Cross-tabs segment the Track 2 audience and confirm message priorities. Public release gives the County Executive cover to go public.
02

Coalition landing page

Where we are
Approved and in build · prior invoice
What has to happen
Complete sitemap build, wire CRM sign-ups, load validator quotes and mission content.
Why it gates launch
Live and CRM-connected before any paid traffic — every ad drives here to sign, share, or learn more.
03

Creative development

Where we are
Moxie to share scripts for review and sign-off by July 31. Production in August.
What has to happen
Produce table-setter video, validator series, and static library. Confirm site access and drone permissions for the fence-line shoot.
Why it gates launch
All Phase 2 spend needs finished creative in market on day one — no launch without it.
04

Coalition & stakeholder outreach

Where we are
Now that renderings are complete, build out outreach materials.
What has to happen
Moxie and Connell Foley to update and refresh all materials for the varying outreach meetings required (stakeholder, elected, etc.).
Why it gates launch
Assist lobbying teams in their briefings and asks prior to launch. Assist the governing committee in refreshing previously supportive stakeholders and recruiting new allies.
Launch gate · Post-Labor Day

Phase 2 goes live when three conditions are met: (1) poll is public and cross-tabs are in hand, (2) the landing page and CRM are live and validated, and (3) the table-setter, validator series, and static library are approved and shipped to media. Endorsers announce on their own timing and trigger opportunistic activations throughout.

Phase 2 · Launch3 months · Two tracks

Orchestrate timing of Guy kick-off and campaign launch.

Armed with campaign infrastructure — from outreach materials to video, with message architecture prepared — we work with the lobbying team to identify the cadence of the Guy announcement and immediate campaign launch. Full paid-campaign review and discussion in August for sign-off before Labor Day, so we're ready to launch at go.
