Approach

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Strategic marketing

We’ll work closely with your team to identify key opportunities and craft a strategic marketing plan to amplify your event or campaign. This includes advising on key messages, content themes, and identifying impactful stories or visuals to engage your audience.

Media capture

We’ll plan and execute media capture to authentically document key moments of your event or milestone. This includes coordinating photography or video to capture highlights such as key speeches, guest interactions and impactful moments.

Content planning

We’ll create and manage a content plan to maintain a steady flow of high-quality content. This plan will be structured in a way that enables easy coordination and provides opportunities for feedback. As we progress, we’ll regularly update the plan with fresh ideas to keep it engaging and relevant.

Copywriting 

Using the key messages from our communications strategy, our team will craft post captions. We’ll ensure the tone remains balanced, informative, accessible and free from unnecessary overhype.

Graphic design and video editing

We’ll create custom templates for social media posts and use them to create engaging visuals. We’ll also support you with basic social media video editing including planning, trimming, and adding captions.

Personal channels

Social media communications shared by employees on average get 800% more engagement than the content on the brand channels (HBR). Our team helped to prepare engaging content for the company founders, directors, or other employees to boost the organisation's profile and establish thought leadership in the client's space.

Strategic event marketing planning

Adopter collaborated closely with LCM to identify the key marketing opportunities around the royal visit. This included advising on which guests to interview, crafting key messages for the event, and planning content capture strategies.

step 1

Content creation and media capture

We facilitated behind-the-scenes video and photo capture, to document the day authentically and while ensuring a quick turnaround for content posting. Highlights included Prince William’s visit, key moments with attendees, and guest interviews. A dedicated interview area was set up in front of branded backdrops to capture quotes for use in post-event content across multiple channels.

PR and social media execution

Adopter crafted tailored press releases and PR messaging to amplify the event’s significance. We developed engaging content on social media, including behind-the-scenes footage, guest quotes, and video interviews to showcase the visit and sustain interest post-event.

CEO-focused content

To extend the event’s reach, we created personalised content for the CEO’s social media channels. This added a relatable and authentic perspective to the coverage.

They helped us through photo and video capture at the event, creating social media content for our company profiles and CEO, creating a press release, planning content and coordinating relevant preparations. During the project, Adopter's team showed a high level of attention to detail, clear expertise in green technology and built environment space, as well as flexibility and ability to work in a very fast-paced environment.
