Client: Young Carers Carers First Challenge: Carers First needed to raise awareness about nearly one million young carers in the UK, aiming to help adults recognise and refer these children for support. Solution: We created an emotionally resonant campaign featuring a poignant poem that showcased the dual lives of young carers, balancing school and caregiving responsibilities, to highlight their maturity and resilience. Campaign Results: - Overwhelming positive feedback from the caring community, feeling "seen and heard." - 10x the usual social media engagement. - 40% increase in website visitors. - Significant boost in awareness and support for young carers. This is the first video in our series showcasing our best client projects. We'll highlight the challenges they faced, the strategies we implemented, and most importantly, the results the video achieved.

"Do car dealers help people?" My 5-year-old daughter asked me. "Well, sort of. Why, baby?" Was my reply. Yesterday was "community helper" day at her school, and parents that were community helpers were asked to come join the class and speak about their role. She wanted me to come! She knows I do something with car dealers, and is obsessed with my colleagues @ FLX. Did I think it made sense for the marketer in the land of automotive to hop in with the firefighters and nurses? Nah. But what do you think? Do car dealers help people? #cardealers #automotiveindustry #marketing

When we think of #TransportationNetworkCompanies, we don't always think about people who need #WheelchairAccessibleService. I'm glad that UZURV – The Adaptive TNC is thinking along these lines, and I love the focus of the linked article. First, we're building a #TNC for everyone, including #WAV riders. Second, we've got partners who share our vision. Here's what a truly #AdaptiveTNC looks like for people using #MobilityDevices.

National Do Not Disturb While Driving Day is a crucial reminder of how we can leverage technology to enhance road safety. Features like 'Do Not Disturb' on our phones are simple yet powerful tools to prevent distracted driving. By enabling these features, we not only reduce distractions but also take a proactive step toward safer roads and responsible driving. As advocates of innovative solutions, let’s use the technology at our fingertips to create a positive impact on our communities and save lives. 📵 #TheKieferFoundation #KieferFoundation #Kiefer #SafeDriving #DistractedDriving #DoNotDisturb

Did you know that 51% of carers take over a year to identify themselves as carers, and therefore they don’t access the support they need?   71% of carers stated that seeing themselves primarily as a family member or friend was a barrier to identifying themselves as a carer.   #CarersWeek helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.   This Carers Week, we want to highlight the invaluable contributions of carers across the UK and ensure their voices are heard!   #CarersNetwork #NoOneShouldCareAlone #unpaidcarers #carers #carerawareness #carersvoice #awareness
