42. EDAPT
Bringing a new brand to life
• As an innovative new service aiming to
disrupt the education market with a new
insurance policy for teachers, edapt had
a big task on their hands.
• Plugged was asked to assist edapt in
developing their brand, communicating
their offering and attracting members.
43. EDAPT
Bringing a new brand to life
• Starting from scratch Plugged's team needed to launch a new and
unknown brand into the marketplace and overcome the following
challenges:
– teachers need to trust that edapt can offer them a reliable
and trustworthy service.
– how can edapt establish themselves as a credible alternative to the
unions in a short space of time?
– how can edapt acquire customers with limited above the line
marketing budget?
44. EDAPT
Bringing a new brand to life
• Plugged's strategy was to develop a content platform within
edapt.org.uk that engages the UK’s teachers and offers a credible
alternative to the incumbent unions.
• The content platform or theme would need to:
– create awareness, intrigue and discussion
– use content to get information seekers to engage with edapt and
spread content virally
– convert engaged users to paying members
45. EDAPT
Bringing a new brand to life
• After much research, stakeholder interviews and internal debate we
settled on developing a plethora of content under the umbrella of
'Helping teachers to teach'. We aimed to harness the positivity of the
teaching profession whilst developing an emotional response from
teachers tiered of the negative tone adopted by the unions and the
press.
• Plugged's team of strategists went on to help position the edapt
brand and produce content production guidelines (tone of voice,
terms to use and avoid, scale of neutrality), which helped to shape
the blogs, articles and social media that would amplify edapt's
offering.
46. EDAPT
Bringing a new brand to life
• To help launch our content marketing
programme we produced a video that
introduced the edapt offering. The video
focused on teachers relaying their positive
stories under the "Why I teach" theme,
helping to creating awareness, intrigue
and discussion with the aim of converting
passive viewers to customers.
