10. Internal
We know already that employees and internal stakeholders understanding your values as a business are important so the next step is to find the optimal way of
communicating ongoing changes and data so that everyone can celebrate together. Some ideas are:
- Internal newsletter dedicated to Social & Environmental Impact
- Support of employee Charitable efforts
- Company wide Charitable efforts
INTERNAL COMMUNICATION CONSIDERATIONS
- New guidelines for all staff (recycling, energy efficiency etc)
- Guidelines for new staff members with Impact as a key
- Guidelines for choosing suppliers and utilities
11. External
The irony of considering your Social and Environmental impact is that a lot of decisions with negative
impact are based on saving time or money - trying to grow the company.
We now know that the future of consumerism is based in positivity and while short term thinking may
have got you where you are it's now your duty to think long term and turn all of this amazing work you
are doing on the inside into more sales and revenue from the outside.
Taking our extensive experience in Digital Advertising we can create campaigns that work with
minimal impact on the environment and while putting Social Impact at the top of our priority list.
We focus on the following main sections of Digital Marketing:
- Content Marketing - PR
- Email Marketing - Measurement & Analytics
- Pay Per Click - Strategy
- Web Design
TURN THE POSITIVE IMPACT INTO REVENUE

15. Our Work
Cory Muscara is one of the worlds
leading Mindfulness Teachers and has
been all over the world studying and
practicing Mindfulness techniques,
including 6 months as a monk.
We wanted to help him meet his
personal goals of creating a huge Social
Impact of delivering Mindfulness best
practices to people every day while
maintaining the smallest of
Environmental Impacts possible.
With research and compromise we
found a solution we all agreed would be
best, working with our Dev team in the
US we created a daily Flash Briefing
Skill for the Amazon Alexa service that
allows people to start their day with
brand new, daily content from Cory.
ADAPTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES
We created the technical work with
Amazon and our Dev team and then
created key assets for Cory to use
across his Content Marketing channels
to easily enable to his Social Media
followers to activate the device.
We are currently getting 10-20
downloads per day with no further cost
after development.

16. Our Work
One of the biggest problems we see
with the new age of Digital Advertising
options such as Facebook Ads,
Instagram Ads and even now Snapchat
Ads is that it’s easy to measure the
initial success or failure but it’s tough
to put lifetime values together.
We have found a solution for this and
using incredible technology partners
we are able to learn as we go - this is
one client with figures rounded to the
nearest $10k.
This client works in therapy and is able
to make a huge Social Impact with
their work thanks to consistency of
growth from our Digital Advertising
Strategies. They are +$200k YOY so
far in 2017.
