Vizeum launches Good Works

Vizeum launches Good Works

26 October 2016 by Vizeum

Vizeum is proud to announce the launch of its latest Corporate Social Responsibility initiative ‘Good Works’.

After a successful programme in the UK in 2016, Good Works will now be rolled out into four other markets – Argentina, Canada, Hong Kong and South Africa – next month.

This ground breaking accelerator project will complement one-off, unskilled volunteering by offering a longer term approach with more skilled volunteering– helping charities and social enterprises by drawing on Vizeum’s breadth of communications talent.

Teams of up to five Vizeum colleagues will work on a brief from the selected organisation (social enterprises or charitable organisations), provide consultancy and support on communications challenges ranging from ideas generation, audience insight, branding and communications planning.

Alistair Baker, Strategy Director at Vizeum UK, was instrumental in getting Good Works off the ground in the UK and has served as a champion for the programme since its inception.

“The great thing about Good Works is that it gives people in Vizeum the chance to work on something outside of their day-to-day clients. The solutions they provide aren’t necessarily based on media planning but are more focused on communications solutions.”

“The issues that charities and social enterprises face is that they often have limited resources when it comes to truly understanding their audiences. Vizeum is able to offer is the strategy, tools and consultancy needed to understand these audiences and take the proper action.”

Launching the initiative Thomas Le Thierry, President, Vizeum Global, said “Vizeum’s vision for media is to accelerate business growth. We are excited about this initiative as it offers our people the opportunity to stretch their expertise and experience across new categories as they volunteer their time to accelerate growth for charities and social organisations.”

As Good Works launches into new markets, each market will choose a social enterprise or charity organisation from their local community.

ABOUT US

Vizeum was created for the new era of media: A convergent world where consumers and content come together, in real time, on platforms and devices; a global world massively impacted by digital technology which is totally reshaping the environment that brands and people live in.

Vizeum embraces every dimension, linking social, mobile, offline and online, generating emotions and trust, and building powerful connections between brands and people at speed and scale.

SERVICES

Our clients

Our clients share one thing in common. The desire to challenge the old solutions and working practices of the past. They include some of the world’s most famous brands and operate across many categories but they all believe that the new world demands new solutions.

Our network

With over 70 offices in 49 countries globally, the Vizeum network leverages the creative power of media to connect brands and consumers to help our clients’ brands grow.

OUR APPROACH

Because today is all about being connected, interconnections and interdependence, Vizeum embraces these global opportunities to create “Connections that Count”:

We develop research and insights to better understand the group and the social motivations of people that we want to talk to and influence in new spaces.

We move away from exposure and touch points, focusing on the value, the quality and the intensity of the connections that we trigger in the consumer world. We measure the reaction and evaluate the impact of brand connections.

We innovate to solve business challenges. Innovation is the central pillar of our agency. Vizeum has privileged partnerships with organisations across the world. We help our clients grasp the future opportunities.

We serve and coordinate client businesses from anywhere in the world; our unique operating model gives us quick access to any talent in the organisation.

Sustainable consumer relationships, long-lasting connections, based on trust, loyalty and transparency, is what we believe will ultimately deliver brand growth for our clients.

The Vizeum Way

We work to a rigorous proprietary planning process to integrate communications around the consumer decision making journey which we customize to meet our clients specific requirements.

CCS - the Consumer Connection System

We have developed the world’s most robust media study enabling us to unravel consumer decision-making journeys and identify exactly which channel to use and when to engage your consumers. Because we built this on behalf of our clients, we have ensured 3 crucial things:

It works seamlessly with all existing client-owned consumer segmentations. We simply fuse our data with yours.

It is highly media actionable. Most clients find their segmentations define their target audience, but never help them detail a media plan or weigh up alternative communications choices.

It is built for the modern day consumer landscape, covering 60+ different forms of consumer touchpoints. We regularly update these to ensure we capture all developing digital media.

Unique understanding and knowledge

In an increasingly connected and convergent world, Vizeum’s vision is to be its clients’ most innovative partner. The agency achieves this through two guiding principles – adopting the 70/20/10 model of innovation management and a mantra of ‘Simple strategy, brilliantly activated’, turning ideas into valuable business solutions.
