A locally driven, grassroots PR and digital marketing campaign focused on reaching an 80% double dose vaccination rate in our community. In doing so, the #VaxTheIllawarra campaign aimed to help businesses reopen, reunite families, and see the return to work and school.
Spearheading the campaign, Waples created the overarching PR and marketing strategy, developed all campaign assets (including social look and feel, media tiles, a campaign landing page, a sponsorship pack, and a business toolkit), and executed an organic social media strategy.
