EDAPTBringing a new brand to life

• As an innovative new service aiming to disrupt the education market with a new insurance policy for teachers, edapt had a big task on their hands.

• Plugged was asked to assist edapt in developing their brand, communicating their offering and attracting members.

EDAPTBringing a new brand to life

• Starting from scratch Plugged's team needed to launch a new and unknown brand into the marketplace and overcome the following challenges:– teachers need to trust that edapt can offer them a reliable

and trustworthy service.– how can edapt establish themselves as a credible alternative to the

unions in a short space of time?– how can edapt acquire customers with limited above the line

marketing budget?

EDAPTBringing a new brand to life

• Plugged's strategy was to develop a content platform within edapt.org.uk that engages the UK’s teachers and offers a credible alternative to the incumbent unions.

• The content platform or theme would need to:– create awareness, intrigue and discussion– use content to get information seekers to engage with edapt and

spread content virally– convert engaged users to paying members

EDAPTBringing a new brand to life

• After much research, stakeholder interviews and internal debate we settled on developing a plethora of content under the umbrella of 'Helping teachers to teach'. We aimed to harness the positivity of the teaching profession whilst developing an emotional response from teachers tiered of the negative tone adopted by the unions and the press.

• Plugged's team of strategists went on to help position the edapt brand and produce content production guidelines (tone of voice, terms to use and avoid, scale of neutrality), which helped to shape the blogs, articles and social media that would amplify edapt's offering.

EDAPTBringing a new brand to life

• To help launch our content marketing programme we produced a video that introduced the edapt offering. The video focused on teachers relaying their positive stories under the "Why I teach" theme, helping to creating awareness, intrigue and discussion with the aim of converting passive viewers to customers.
