Next Project
In 2019 we were appointed as Alzheimer’s Society’s agency partner, exploring their entire digital marketing approach and recommending long-term strategic solutions.
One of the biggest challenges was simple: embedding social media within the organisation.
Our approach to this was creating a social media vision taking into account the various objectives and challenges across the teams to ensure buy-in from everyone involved, laying the foundation for us to create and lead a training programme for new hires alongside revising job specs and roles across teams to accommodate the new strategy.
There were three clear phases: insight & discovery, strategic development, and implementation.
Insight & Discovery
Comprehensive research and auditing including sessions with the immediate team, wider internal and external surveys, and stakeholder interviews.
Strategy Development & Recommendations
Full report of insight & discovery findings, senior leadership team sign-off on overall direction, and the plan of action for internal implementation, including recommended budgets and new hires.
Roll-Out & Implementation
Ongoing consultancy and supporting the implementation of recommendations, including on-boarding and training sessions across the organisation.
Our relationship has resulted in a refresh of their entire social media approach.
