Real Impact: How a Swag Request Sparked a Community Movement

Engaging a community in a challenge with a custom game

When the Localmotion Challenge team first reached out to Dave, they were looking for eco-friendly giveaway items to support their campaign. What followed was far more meaningful.

Dave collaborated with them to develop a comprehensive campaign that broke their large goal into small, manageable steps. This included thoughtful incentives and clear ways to measure success, turning the challenge into a movement that people truly connected with.

The results tell the story:

🐝 12% of households in Parkallen registered for the challenge

🐝 More than 13,500 fewer kilometres were driven in just one month

🐝 Nearly 4,000 kilograms less CO2 was emitted between May and June 2009

🐝 Each household reduced its driving by an average of approximately 400 kilometres

One organizer shared, β€œThe results are in and we are very happy! What began as a simple request grew into a thriving community effort.”

Let's build connections with your audience that turn goals into shared stories of real impact.

Stop Chasing. Start Inviting 🐝

Marketing shouldn’t feel like a relentless chase where your audience is pushed through cold, impersonal funnels. Instead, imagine your brand as a flower offering sweet nectar β€” a genuine invitation that naturally attracts people, with respect and choice.

Symbiotic Marketing is a fresh approach rooted in connection, trust, and shared growth. It transforms marketing from a one-sided pursuit into a living ecosystem where your brand, your audience, and your community thrive together.

We collaborate with you to paint a vivid picture of what’s possible and invite your audience to become heroes in your shared story.
