Solution
These insights helped in the conceptualisation of an awareness campaign. Thus, the shockwave campaign was formed. Shockwave is the “ripple effect” of four main stages of the BusinessPRO relaunch; Awareness, Involvement, Investment and Sustainability.
These stages consist of tailored marketing techniques set to attract the desired stakeholder.
The campaign ties in with the desire to motivate and encourage new entrepreneurs to build their dreams with the help of BusinessPRO.
