It is worth noting that Biogo’s mission is much more than offering dedicated, healthy products. First of all, the company’s activity is based on the promotion of a lifestyle in line with ecology and nature.
Biogo inspires, motivates, and teaches also, thanks to its expert blog. It offers knowledge about healthy eating, original recipes, natural care, and dietary advice.

 

Objectives and challenges of the project

The main goal of our communication activities was to inform people about the equity crowdfunding campaign of Biogo SA. This took place in cooperation with the Beesfund platform.

Our task was to reach the largest group of people possible who might be interested in the topic. So, we informed them about the company’s operations, the development of the bio food industry, and the trends that will win the sector over the next few years.

Thanks to our communication activities, many people who are close to the topics of bio food, e-commerce, and investing learned about Biogo.

Project implementation and challenges

We carried out a creative promotional product distribution to 20 journalists from business, food, lifestyle, and women’s editorial offices. In the surprise packages, journalists found products from the Biogo range which are very popular among customers.

During the implementation of the project, various logistical issues arose. The delivery of parcels and difficulty contacting journalists due to the pandemic turned out to be a challenge.

For us, however, nothing is impossible! The entire course of the creative promotional product distribution, as well as reaching the media, was a complete success.

The next step was to contact journalists – both those who received the package and many other editorial offices to which we sent press releases. We made a thorough follow-up, during which we discussed the activity of Biogo SA, the issue of shares, as well as trends in the world of organic food.

We maintained a good relationship with journalists all the time. Even if the editorial office was not interested in the topic at the time, we established contacts for the future with the vision of other publications in mind.

 

The effects of our actions

The creative promotional product distribution resulted in numerous publications, incl. on CrowdNews, BioKurier, Ecoportal, Kierunek Spożywczy, Handel Extra, and My Company Polska.

In the case of the last title, the journalist also asked for a dedicated statement by the president of the company on their activity for the paper edition of the magazine.

Other publications resulted from maintaining good relations with the media. Thanks to our efforts, articles were published on such portals as Comparic, Newseria Biznes, Serwis Spożywczy, and HBN.pl.

The Biogo expert also gave an interview for Polskie Radio on eco food.
