CARE International Appoint The Marketing Store
International development charity CARE International UK has appointed The Marketing Store to drive awareness and recruit participants for the ‘Walk In Her Shoes’ charity walk challenge in March 2013.
The ‘Walk In Her Shoes’ campaign will combine social media with targeted experiential marketing to reach professional women in the UK and prompt them to participate in the challenge.
‘Walk In Her Shoes’ is a global fundraising event run by CARE International to highlight the plight of women and girls in the developing world who walk many miles every day collecting water and firewood for their families.
The funds raised by ‘Walk In Her Shoes’ participants will go towards reducing the time women and girls spend walking by helping to build wells, boreholes and standing taps close to their homes, allowing them to go to school, find work and reach their full potential in life.
Sarah Taylor Peace, Marketing Director at CARE International, said: “We have decided to partner with The Marketing Store because of the ambition they demonstrated for our event in 2013 and the creative channels they proposed. We felt that they really ‘got’ us and were committed to helping us succeed with Walk In Her Shoes.”
Lisa Bonney, Managing Director of The Marketing Store, said: “Working with an organisation like CARE International is incredibly rewarding for the business. With social and experiential channels, we believe we can bring a different dimension to driving recruitment and participation in the ‘Walk In Her Shoes’ event”
