Tusla is a national organisation with a staff of 4,000 people in over 400 locations across the country.

Goals of the project:

Develop their digital presence
Manage their reputation
Learn how to use Twitter as an outlet to share some of the positive stories that needed to be amplified and heard
Safeguard the agency’s reputation 

Strategy & Approach

We spent some time getting to know Tusla, and familiarising with the internal language of child protection and its many acronyms. There was some resistance internally to getting on Twitter and we had to take a very gentle approach and work hard to bring everyone on the journey.

We implemented a consultative strategic approach, that was well paced, and clearly focused on the goal. The launch took place in November 2017, and we supported it with extensive video content, promotion, and active engagement.

We were on hand for a further two months to assist the Comms Team to visualise their content and we produced video and visual evergreen assets that got Tusla trending, and enabled them to deliver messages that might have otherwise have been negatively received, eg. “Celebrating 4 years”.

Results

• 100% client satisfaction. The client is delighted with the result. The CEO of Tusla personally congratulated us for delivering the launch with ease.  
• Project was delivered 100% on time, on budget, and exceeded expectations.
