Gather Round

(1)((1))Objective

Creative co-workspace, Gather Round opened their doors and tasked us to build awareness and grow their online community.

(2)((2))Idea

During the pre-launch of Gather Round, we drew in a creative-first community by developing influencer and press relationships.

Post-launch, our strategy involved the generation of content, consistent management of social media channels, sequential messaging, and remarketing. We targeted and nurtured a Bristol-based creative audience from discovery to conversion through daily engagement and social media advertising campaigns.

Social Dilemma

1st of October 2020

The Social Dilemma recently landed on Netflix, and millions of us have tuned in to take a peek behind the curtain at the inner workings of social media companies, and the social impact they can have, have had, and will continue to have on users and the wider world.

While the show certainly shone a light on some of the more nefarious tactics used by these companies to stay relevant, stay super profitable, and more importantly stay on your phone’s home screen; we can't neglect the amazing opportunity social media has presented to us all too.

2020 has been a tough year, and the miracle of the internet and social media has helped friends and family stay connected from a distance through lockdowns and periods of isolation. It has been a blessing for so many, and we want to be a part of everything great about social medias ability to connect, entertain and inform.

So we’ve set out a few of our values, some guidelines we strive to stick to to ensure we’re using this opportunity ethically and responsibly.

-> We’ll only target users responsibly.

With the power to reach millions with our messaging comes with responsibility. We won't use it to promote contentious topics or irresponsible behaviour.

-> We’re here to build positivity...

...not create tension and divide. While the show highlighted that polarising content consistently gets higher engagement, we don’t want to be a part of stirring negative emotions for anybody, ever.

-> We won’t prey on insecurities to sell products.

We’re not here to influence anyone through a negative experience. We want to do so through excitement, positivity and great initiatives - and that comes with only being part of projects we truly believe in.

We’re here to tell brands’ stories, to share great ideas, spread the word for causes we want to rally behind, and use our platform for good and good only. That’s our promise to you, and every person on the other side of the screen that we reach with our content.
