Sound Communications
Principles -
Every Hilsoft plan begins with three key principles:
-
Plain
Language
Clear, concise wording gives laypersons the
opportunity to understand all of their rights and options in the
legal process. Hilsoft experts collaborated with the Federal
Judicial Center to write and design the illustrative "model"
notices to satisfy the plain language amendment to Rule 23,
available at www.fjc.gov.
-
Noticeable
Design
Notices must be “noticed” in order to be
effective.
Clear fonts large
enough to be easily read.
Headlines to
effectively gain reader attention.
Placement to
optimize noticeability.
-
Targeted
Dissemination
Using media audience data to quantify the "net
reach" of class members, Hilsoft determines the best way to
disseminate notice through an optimal mix of media and other
methods.
Judicial Recognition
Hilsoft’s notices and notice plans have been recognized by numerous
federal and state courts and have withstood appellate challenge,
including to the U.S. Supreme Court. Hilsoft notice plans invite
courts to understand the communication principles and multiple
strategies needed to ensure the “best notice practicable” and full
satisfaction of due process.
CAFA
CAFA has new and specific requirements on the
timing and dissemination of class notices to federal and state
officials. Hilsoft helps clients ensure CAFA notice requirements
are satisfied including a tested protocol to notify these officials.
Direct Media Buying
Years of media buying experience – in-house, not through buying
services – placing hundreds of millions of dollars of media, results
in a highly cost-effective use of funds. Hilsoft has the
proven ability to negotiate the lowest rates and best quality
positions.
