STRATEGY, SOCIAL + DESIGN

WIDE TRUST

The Wood Industry Development and Education Trust approached us to develop a comprehensive, end to end marketing strategy which would:

Reach and engage with stakeholders to communicate the benefits of the Trust

Educate the New Zealand public of positive stories coming out of the forestry and wood processing industries

Promote scholarships and other opportunities in the forestry industry

Key stakeholders identified:

Industry Organisations & Businesses: Companies involved in the wood or forestry industries, educational institutions, and industry leaders.

Young People: Vocational, tertiary and secondary students.

General Public: Parents and the wider New Zealand public.

How we reached & engaged our key stakeholders

Industry Organisations & Businesses:

Communicated the benefits of the WIDE Trust through a monthly blog article. These stories were good news by nature, highlighting the benefits of the trust and the finding that is available.

Young People:

Using the blog article, we developed a range of static and video content that was posted across the WIDE Trust’s social media channels. The content highlighted the success stories of students who have benefited from WIDE Trust funding, whilst promoting funding opportunities available to them.

General Public:

We communicated the positive good the Forestry and Wood industry  sectors are making in New Zealand from an economic, sustainable and educational perspective through written, static and video content.
