The solution

We created organic and paid social media campaigns delivered over dedicated and newly created channels based on target audience demographics and interests.

We trained internal ‘Brand Ambassadors’ in the new division of the business to tell their stories online in an authentic and relatable way.

We devised and implemented an SEO strategy and helped develop and build a new careers microsite which was focused on engagement and conversion.

We created twelve pieces of video content featuring real team members telling great stories and sharing their experiences.
