“The Link effect” defines the delayed, long-term paradigm shift in a person
The Link Effect” encapsulates a profound reality: addressing societal challenges is a journey, it doesn’t happen overnight. Traditional educational programs often span over four years, leaving de Link vulnerable to funding fluctuations stemming from a lack of clear oversight and communication of results, both in the short and long term.
Enter “The Link Effect” campaign. This strategic initiative harnesses the power of de Link’s brand to effectively communicate its impact. By streamlining the message for diverse stakeholders, including organizations and government bodies, the campaign plays a crucial role in securing future funding.
In terms of visual presentation, we adopted a playful sticker approach. This choice not only injects levity into the discussion of serious societal issues like poverty and social exclusion but also fosters engagement and approachability.
