GoldieBlox is inspirational in many ways. As the mom of two girls, the product struck a chord with me.  But there’s more than the product showing my girls that engineering isn’t just for boys – the company has a great story…and that strikes a chord with me too!  A few of my favorite points from their journey:

• The entire company took time out of their normal “jobs” to put their heart and soul into the contest entry video
• They included their fans and friends to derive the best outcome
• “Vote daily” gave them the excuse to reach out via email and social to their fans every day. And they had fun with it – clever, funny posts.
• They made their audience feel empowered – they weren’t just backing a product, they were taking a stand to show their daughters that they had a place in this male dominated spot!

On a daily basis, we help companies stop what they’ve been doing for years, step back and reassess your marketing strategy to find new and different ways to reach and engage your audience.  It often feels like there isn’t time and you can’t afford to lose ground by taking the time to stop.  If you want to make a difference and take your success to a new level, you can’t keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing for years.  When you’re ready for change, the DR team is here to help!
