Project Description
After rebranding in 2015, Brands for Canada(BFC) did not have a well-established platform that helps them raise awareness in order to connect them to more sponsors and clients. The main goal of this project was to help BFC to tell their story using social media.
Problem
Brands for Canada did not have a well-established brand identity. Brands for Canada was not seen as a charity.
Solution
Brands for Canada needed a way to tell their story. The focus of this project was to help Brands for Canada use social media more effectively to increase awareness of their brand and their mission to alleviate poverty and empower individuals.
Research
The project started with an analysis and assessment of Brands for Canada’s current use of social media. That was followed by producing a competitive analysis that helped recommend best practices, authorize personas, and perform a social media audit which concluded the research.
