Project Description

Challenge


At the end of 2019, Fairtrade America was struggling to generate social channel growth and engagement, and questioned how social media could effectively help the organization reach consumer awareness and business development goals included in its multi-year strategic plan. SchroderHaus was tasked to assess Fairtrade’s social content strategy and recommend how best to evolve key channels to better reach the organization’s goals.

 

Solution


The team developed a comprehensive digital strategy informed by a social audit and competitive analysis of other fair trade, Non-GMO and gluten-free certifications. The predominantly organic social strategy included recommended content recommendations; revitalized feed design to bring cohesiveness to content; increased channel management and engagement; and paid support of strategic seasonal and consumer campaigns.
