In the fall of 2010, our client came to us asking for ways to promote their new program- Caring About Food Safety.  They were looking for an economical and innovative way to spread the word and get the program noticed.    We assessed that communicating this through the community centres throughout the Province of BC would be a great way to reach the intended audience.  With that said, they wanted a way to quickly grab the attention of their audience members, have them immediately understand the call to action and give them impetus to act.    We worked with them and developed a jar openers in a variety of colours that could be left on the counter and given away.

People saw value in the jar openers, took them home and read the call to action.   This led them to the course and created a successful campaign to teach food safety in a simple, yet effective manner to those outside the hospitality environment.

Congratulations on being named a finalist in the Premier’s Innovation and Excellence Awards.

A job well done!

The SILVER option is designed for companies on a limited budget or who would like to try the power of the Communicate Your Why program before committing.

It provides you with a reasonable amount of shareable content and access to our network. However, for most companies, this may not provide a full year's worth of marketing materials. If you purchase a SILVER package and decide to upgrade within 30 days of the airing of your episode, we will credit 90% of the SILVER package towards either a GOLD or PLATINUM package.

Our expectation is that we will release your episode within 30 days of the recording date.

The GOLD option is a basic yearly marketing package.

Optimally, you would release an episode quarterly and use the content that accompanies it to update your marketing on a quarterly basis. It is literally four times the amount of marketing materials as the SILVER option and allows you to not only tell your story but create a case studies with clients or talk about specific ways you add value to your clientele in a non-sales way. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and a more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes quarterly.

The PLATINUM option is designed as a monthly marketing package

It gives you the content you desire to stay top of mind with your clients and prospects, talk about ongoing developments and tell a more robust story. Again, if you purchase a GOLD package and decide to upgrade to a PLATINUM one within 90 days of starting the original GOLD package, we will credit 90% of the original purchase price towards the price of the PLATINUM option. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes monthly.
