As part of our overall efforts, Denterlein created a series of mini-campaigns around several of BCBS of RI's philanthropic efforts. For example, to promote its community volunteerism on Facebook and Twitter, Denterlein created a selfie photo challenge, encouraging employee volunteers to take their picture with “Paws,” the official mascot of the Paw Sox.
“We know that CSR plays an important role in consumer choice, so we designed a series of targeted campaigns that not only built awareness but also really resonated with BCBS's current and prospective clients.”
