“This was the first time we had developed and published our annual reporting including both an annual and a sustainability report. Linkgroup gave us perfect, comprehensive support. Their rich experience and our knowledge were a great match, and we were able to make clear progress in terms of value reporting. We were particularly impressed by Linkgroup’s proposal for a cross-media strategy encompassing significantly improved publication on the corporate website, an online annual report and quick report, a CEO video, social media and a rethink of our report as a magazine. The fact that Linkgroup offers in-house services spanning everything from the concept, content creation and design to implementation made things more efficient for Sika.”
Cross-media strategy for annual reporting.
Task
A meeting was held to present the concept and come up with ideas for how to rethink Sika’s annual reporting – the annual report, the sustainability report, the yearly magazine and presentation on the web – while maintaining it at the accustomed high level. Linkgroup developed a cross-media content strategy and a creative concept for all vehicles as well as productively implementing the relevant applications. Sika reaped the benefits of our integrated in-house solutions spanning the concept, content creation and design all the way to production.
