Success Story: CSR Strategies and Activation

"We got international attention and awards ."

The Challenge: Breaking Out of the Niche

Our client wanted to significantly increase their brand presence and activations across Western Canada. While they were widely recognized as experts within their field, their customer base was highly niche. They needed a powerful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy to break out of their bubble and develop broad appeal with mass-market segments.

The Approach: Tell a story everyone wants to be a part of.

We didn’t just guess at what the mass market wanted; we started by identifying the key segments where the business had the highest growth potential, taking the time to understand exactly what motivates those customers to act. From there, we built a highly targeted, engaging CSR program designed to appeal directly to them, and identified the marketing channels with the absolute best reach.

The Journey: Amplifying the narrative.

The initial program launch exceeded all expectations. To keep the momentum soaring, Know Good Consulting stepped in to actively support our client, acting as the brand’s spokesperson and storyteller during an extensive media tour. We hit the ground running, delivering more than 30 presentations, securing 15 earned media interviews, and facilitating dozens of individual and small group engagements. The narrative was so compelling that the business was frequently invited to present at major academic and industry events.

The Outcome: A million activations and international acclaim.

The results spoke for themselves. The CSR program we developed garnered international attention and won multiple prestigious awards. But the most important metric for our client was the ground-level impact: the program tracked more than one million activations across Western Canada. All of the brand’s online channels saw sustained, double-digit increases in positive engagements, and new customer account activations soared.
