How do we raise awareness for an organization with no prior social media presence?

Challenge

Climate Basecamp fights to make climate change more “culturally relevant” by tapping into the 5 pillars of culture: Food, Entertainment, Sports, Fashion, and Music. As a newly-formed sister initiative to Arctic Basecamp, their presence is still growing—yet growing fast! In September 2023, they hosted a Save The Flavors campaign in New York City. Their goal? To inform you that some of your favorite ice cream flavors/foods, such as cocoa, vanilla bean, and pistachio, are endangered.

Climate Basecamp asked KMSG to support with:

  • The activation and launch of Climate Basecamp’s social media channels

  • Day-of event support for the Save The Flavors campaign hosted in New York City and capture photo/video throughout the day

  • Post-event social media coverage and tracking analytics across all platforms

Context

Action & Impact

KMSG accomplished the following:

  • Created 30 posts across Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn on the day of the Save The Flavors campaign, as well as post-event coverage

  • Conducted 13 short interviews with staff and event attendees for TikTok and Instagram

  • Reached over 2,000 unique accounts through 25 Instagram Stories posted during and post-event

  • Facilitated an 82% increase in post views since KMSG began posting to Climate Basecamp’s Twitter account
