A lot of these suggestions are areas we probably would have missed without your insight.”_ – [Hannah Winter](https://twitter.com/hlwints), Content and Insights Manager ## **About MindForward Alliance** The MindForward Alliance is a not-for-profit membership organisation working to create mentally healthy workplaces and inspire health creation in workplaces across the UK and globally Their unique model brings together senior business leaders, HR, wellbeing and D&I professionals from its members, along with mental health experts, people with lived experience and industry partners.

Areas of focus included: 1. Strategic advice 2. Paid advertising 3. Social media management 4. Creative optimisation 5. Stakeholder engagement Our focus was not only to make sure that solid digital best practice was put in place and actively managed, but also to develop repeatable processes that follow best practice guidelines, allowing for the MindForward Alliance team to manage their own digital comms activity over time. Developing these processes has been key to giving the MindForward Alliance team the confidence, clarity and knowledge to excel at digital comms. ## **The Approach** Empower initially performed a [digital marketing audit](https://empower.agency/digital-marketing-audits-clarity-confidence-improve-results/) of the MindForward Alliance website and provided recommendations on how to improve the user journey, allowing the MindForward Alliance team to see how effective each stage of the journey was. In addition, we assessed MindForward Alliance’s other online channels and created a digital marketing strategy, focussing on the optimisation of present digital marketing efforts and the development of measurable tactics. Once digital foundations were in place, activity evolved based on what worked for each campaign and event launch, leading to improvements that compounded over time. Establishing measurement of downloads and form submissions on the website and regular performance reports have allowed more meaningful impact measurement to take place. ![Empower's digital audit allowed the CMHA team to see how effective each stage of the journey was](https://empower.agency/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Empowers-digital-audit-allowed-the-CMHA-team-to-see-how-effective-each-stage-of-the-journey-was.png) Empower’s digital audit allowed the MindForward Alliance team to see how effective each stage of the journey was## **The Results** Over the 12 months Empower has worked with MindForward Alliance, performance has increased across almost all key metrics, including: - **42% increase** in traffic to the MindForward Alliance website year on year - The _Parents Toolkit_ was MindForward Alliance’s most successful launch to date, with over 1,400 launch event registrations, 800 event attendees, **over 6,000 page views** of the landing page and **over 2,000 downloads** at a **conversion rate of 35%.** - **46% increase** in Twitter impressions, compared to the year before. - **30% increase** in LinkedIn followers. - **126% increase** in email newsletter subscribers. ## Topics **Categories:** [Case Studies](https://empower.agency/category/case-studies/), [case study: mental health](https://empower.agency/category/case-studies/case-study-mental-health/), [Enable (Empower Framework)](https://empower.agency/category/case-studies/enable-empower-framework/), [Implement (Empower Framework)](https://empower.agency/category/case-studies/implement-empower-framework/), [Insight (Empower Framework)](https://empower.agency/category/case-studies/insight-empower-framework/), [Strategy (Empower Framework)](https://empower.agency/category/case-studies/strategy-empower-framework/)
