Working with Samantha was a pleasure. As a third-party consultant, she integrated into our team seamlessly. Her expertise allows us to not only reach our social media campaign targets, but to exceed them. I look forward to working with Samantha in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to others.

Objective

To raise awareness of tick prevention and identifying Lyme disease in animals amongst pet owners and hunters, anglers and trappers in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick.

Challenges

The overall project did not have a streamlined marketing strategy to bring together and align all project teams and stakeholders.

Three stakeholder organizations with varied, unique interests and multi-org project teams.

The website was managed by another third-party provider and any changes required sign-off from two of the three stakeholder organizations.
