Strategy
Social Media
WisCorp's main objective was hiring. They wanted high-quality candidates who liked the outdoors and conservation. One of the set goals they had was to have 4 applicants for each job before hiring one. Elevate understood these goals and took the opportunities they could to capture photos to best get the word out to their target audience. Elevate was able to travel three separate times to a training camp facility to create a library of professional content to be used in social media.
​
The Facebook posts created are a combination of job openings and explaining what WisCorps does. This was done to reach our client's goals and make their social media presence stronger.
Photography
To have a great social media presence WisCorps understood they need quality pictures. Elevate Media Group was tasked with taking high-quality photos and putting them in a library for WisCorps and Elevate to use too.
WisCorp had Elevate come out on three separate day shoots to a camp where they trained their employees. This allowed Elevate to capture bulk content to be used as social media content for the next couple of months. This had to happen as WisCorps only has all their employees in one place for two weeks out of the year. Elevate was able to make it to three days and capture a lot of content.
Conclusion
WisCorps' current social media is now getting them leads/new hires. They have a library of photos that they use for their website and other marketing materials. Elevate helped WisCorps meet its goals and have a stronger social media presence. A presence that not only hires for outdoor positions but also explains why WisCorps is so important and what they do.
