Strategic Employer Branding Partner

The case

Fellowmind faced the challenge of communicating their employer branding messages clearly and effectively to a broader audience.

They were looking for a strategic and creative partner to consult and help define a sharp, long-term direction for their employer branding initiatives in 2024.

"Udtalelse omkring hvorfor Employer Branding er vigtigt for dem"

Our solution

To reach a broader audience, we analyzed Fellowmind’s employer branding communication and found it fragmented and impersonal, contrasting with the employees’ actual experience of the company.

We therefore developed a personal concept and strategic direction that leverages storytelling with concrete employee examples. This approach creates a relatable brand that resonates with the target audience.

Culture Analysis

STEP 1

Udtalelse

To ensure Fellowmind’s employer brand messaging authentically reflected employee experiences, we conducted an in-depth culture analysis.

This process involved:

  1. Management Workshop: We started by gathering insights from management, focusing on their perspective of Fellowmind’s strengths as a workplace.
  2. Employee Interviews: We engaged employees from various departments to understand their experiences, uncovering both strengths and areas for improvement.
  3. Comprehensive Insights: By combining these perspectives, we built a holistic understanding of Fellowmind’s organizational culture.

Resulting in a clear foundation for a strategic direction that felt authentic and resonated with employees across the organization.

THE DELIVERABLE:

We delivered a comprehensive report highlighting Fellowmind’s key strengths as an employer, based on employee insights.

Additionally, we provided a tailored strategy to leverage these findings and enhance Fellowmind’s employer brand effectively.

To ensure Fellowmind’s employer brand resonated with their ideal candidates, we conducted comprehensive research, including:

  • Market Analysis: Using data and insights, we identified what truly matters to Fellowmind’s target candidate groups.
  • Focus Group Interviews: We engaged a group of candidates aligned with Fellowmind’s Ideal Candidate Profile (ICP) to gain deeper insights into their preferences and decision-making process during their job search.

This research provided actionable insights into the candidate journey, enabling us to tailor the employer brand messaging to meet the expectations and aspirations of their target audience.

THE DELIVERABLE:

  • Definition of Fellowmind’s ICP and this type of candidate’s preferences in a workplace
  • A report detailing the ICPs, complete with preferences and potential key messages

Competitor Mapping

STEP 3

In order to differentiate Fellowmind from competitors in the overall talent market, we began by analyzing the competitive landscape within the talent market.

This process involved:

  1. Identifying Key Players: We selected relevant competitors actively competing for the same talent pool.
  2. Digital Presence Audit: Each competitor’s online presence was reviewed to uncover strengths, weaknesses, and potential gaps in their employer branding efforts.
  3. Tone of Voice and Visual Identity: We evaluated their overall tone of voice and look & feel, rating them using a standardized scale to ensure objective comparison.

THE DELIVERABLE:

The outcome was a detailed Competitor Analysis Report, featuring a visual map of the competitive landscape. This map compared competitors’ tone of voice and branding aesthetics, highlighting opportunities for differentiation.

Building on the previous steps and an analysis of Fellowmind’s prior employer branding efforts, we developed a tailored employer branding concept designed specifically for LinkedIn.

The concept leverages storytelling and real-life employee experiences to communicate Fellowmind’s key employer branding messages in a more relatable and engaging way—directly addressing the qualities their ideal candidates seek in an employer.

THE RESULTS

  • 77% more visitors to Fellowminds careers page with the same convertion rate.
