November 18, 2020

Just in the week that the social elections start (from 16 to 29 November), the experience-driven communication campaign that The Oval Office has developed together with ABVV-Metaal as a result of the first phase of social elections (autumn 2019 - spring 2020) awarded a BOCA Award. The integrated “JOIN US” campaign included a wide mix of print, online, audio and live communication. Due to the corona crisis, the social elections originally planned for May were postponed to November. A second phase of the campaign ran between September and November.


Election campaign focuses on content

Social elections are a benchmark moment in the social life of a company. Employees elect their representatives to the consultative bodies for four years. To support the candidates, militants and delegates of ABVV-Metaal in their communication to the voters, The Oval Office developed the STA MEE OP! Campaign in co-creation with the communication service of ABVV-Metaal. Both very practical and more substantive and inspiring content tailored to the different target groups was created and shared through an integrated mix of tools and media.


Experience driven communication

The campaign opted for personal experiences in both content and formats. Online magazines, podcasts, newsletters and social media focused on testimonials from local militants and delegates. In addition to the usual communication channels, the agency also developed a number of additional resources such as company newspapers, interactive tools and a series of live events, and engaged slam poet Marijn 'Bekvegter' Nelen to write and perform two texts.
