This campaign leveraged the media to share the company’s success and rapid growth story, creating and promoting positive content on search engines. These efforts created positive media coverage for the company and showcased the company’s unique culture.
The business challenge

Through the media, this campaign proactively addressed the issues and complaints online and clarified the company’s message, hiring practices, and employment opportunities.
The results
