Case Study

Consistent Storytelling and Network Building for Regional Development

Partnering with Stractiv8 reenergised how this organisation told its story and connected with its community. Rather than simply delivering a communications strategy, we co-created a vision with the client, amplifying their mission and bringing their work to life for a broader audience.

The organisation aimed to enhance its visibility, foster stronger partnerships, and expand its reach to align with its mission of combatting poverty and fostering development. However, achieving this required:

• Aligning its key messaging with its core values.
• Creating visually appealing and compelling content.
• Sparking meaningful engagement across stakeholder groupings, namely: civil society, government, and private sectors.
