company like this? Us either.
The Company
3. The Brainstorm
National Safety Month was fast approaching for
June 2014. We (Triumvirate’s marketing team)
wanted to explore the impact of new tactics and
position Triumvirate as a top resource for safety
content.
We struggle not to sleep through traditional safety
tutorials and reckon most other people in this world
do too. We know that doesn’t make safety any less
important. Furthermore, our resident designer
wanted a reason to bring puppies into the office.
The Concept
4. Make safety fun.
Stand out from the deluge of traditional content created
by other companies.
Encourage interest in safety education and spread brand
awareness.
Hopefully, puppies.
The Objective
5. Increase brand awareness with
social interaction and sharing
Test new marketing tactics for our
company and it’s industry
Generate and leverage internal
buzz and excitement around
marketing
The Goal
6. Piggy back on social content that’s already generating interest but not
safety oriented (cute animals and memes)
Distribute to mainstream and niche news sites
Produce new educational content for our blog
Encourage company involvement
Measure results
