SUMMARY
It may be on trend, but it’s not easy being a business with a purpose. The RAC is a mutual organisation that was battling tough commercial conditions which seriously hindered its ability to gain and retain members – the means by which it funds its purpose: ‘giving back for the better’.
In a bold move, this campaign rejected comms norms; we stopped communicating what RAC sells and started communicating what it ‘gives’. This dramatically changed brand relevance, driving record levels of brand engagement and exceeding all targets, including membership related sales and thus member growth and RAC’s ability to ‘give back’.
