A large scale 5 months integrated internal communication campaign, including 5,500 employees throughout the entire country

The “Together for 20 years” campaign was dedicated to Raiffeisen Bank’s 20 years in Romania, in order to celebrate the major anniversary moment, as well as to redefine the Bank’s commitment to continue the building process, to reinvent itself in line with its mission, vision and values, and to act as a catalyst of team efforts for targeting a sustainable future.

It was large scale integrated internal communication campaign, deployed over a 5-months period, including 5,500 employees, in the entire country, and a constant flow of information maintained active during all this time.

The campaign’s focus was to include the emotional component and make the team feel part of the Raiffeisen success story and, at the same time, to deliver throughout the organization the need to get involved in the construction of the next two decades. In order to reach this goal, adapted tactics and mechanics were conceived, ranging from management conference, to board roadshows, stunts, creation of dedicated communication tools mixing online and offline channels, video content, customized digital and mobile apps etc.
