Happy to Support the Goals



 

We’re helping a new initiative to create a better future for everyone.

 
 

In 2015, 193 world leaders agreed 17 goals to tackle poverty, equality and climate change. These are the UN Global Goals (aka Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). They are a ‘blueprint for better’ – a roadmap for governments, businesses and individuals to create a better future for everyone by 2030.

But there’s a problem. Whilst last September the World Economic Forum put global awareness of the goals at an impressive 74%, it went on to say “Great Britain and Japan rank lowest in terms of familiarity, with 51% having never heard of them.”

Which is a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, one company is committed to raising support for the goals in the UK and overseas, and Happy is delighted to be helping.

Colin Curtis founded the Support the Goals initiative to drive awareness and action in delivering the SDGs. The company rates organisations on the steps they are taking to support the UN’s goals, building what is set to become the world’s largest research database of business support for the goals. The site is also a source of practical ideas for improving the sustainability of every business.

Already Support the Goals has rated FTSE 100 and FTSE250 companies like HSBC and Dunelm as well as many smaller companies. But there’s more to be done.

That’s why Support the Goals appointed Happy as their marketing and branding partner to raise awareness and grow the business by encouraging organisations of every size to get involved and be rated. 

 
 
 
 

Already we’ve produced brand guidelines, generated content and video animation, designed the website and created marketing materials. Over the coming months we’ll continue to build the brand, generate awareness of the goals and drive more ratings through a mix of online and offline activity. 

“Happy were recommended to us,” explained Colin, “although I already knew their strong reputation for marketing and branding. Ours is not a typical venture so it was hugely important that whoever we partnered with took the time to really understand what we’re about and match branding expertise with passion for the initiative. Happy certainly did that.”

Chief Happy, Karen Lambert said, “Colin’s infectious enthusiasm for the Global Goals is genuinely inspiring. To be helping generate awareness of a global action plan to create a fair and sustainable world is a very humbling experience - it’s also immensely rewarding and very, very easy to buy into.

“One of Colin’s goals is to encourage more than one million businesses to support the goals by 2023. We’re delighted to be helping him make that ambition achievable.”

Social Media

All the tweets and posts in the world won’t help generate leads unless there’s some strategic thinking behind what you’re doing.

We’ll help define the right social media strategy for you, so that you’re on the right platforms, saying the right things to the right people at the right time to generate the right leads.

Design & Brand Building

Marketing is bit like those huge, swirling flocks of starlings you see from time to time. Individually your brochure, email, ad, meme or gif may not change the world.

But when you join them together and ensure they’re all heading in the same direction, you have the power to stop people in their tracks.

We design communications that help build a consistent brand and convert more leads to sales.

Websites

Your website can generate leads in so many ways. Informed content. Strong calls to action. A simple, natural journey from ‘Hi there!’ to ‘Buy now’.

Yet websites are never ‘done’. They need to keep evolving to keep pace with your customers’ expectations, so we’ll be with you for the long haul to keep tweaking, refining and growing your site – and to deliver the PPC campaigns that help drive traffic towards it.

Because when your website keeps working to understand and speak to your audience, you’ve got more chance of converting.

PR & Content

There’s a knack to ensuring your business is seen in the right places at the right time. We’ll build your PR profile across the mix of channels that’s right for you (from press to social media to events) and use our contacts to spread the word.

So when your customers are ready to buy, it’ll be your brand they think of first.
