Manchester Rose - Multifaceted Marketing

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET: Manchester Rose is a family-owned and operated startup company. Our overarching passion is advocacy and assistance for our aging population, providing choice, independence and respect. We began as a home care company with the goal of focusing on palliative and hospice care, in the midst of a pandemic. As a private, for-profit company, we have continued to struggle to gain customers in the community in a publicly funded healthcare world. We know that there are many people who are in need of our services, and believe that we truly can do this better than many current companies out there; our clients have told us so. But, we need to reach them! Our company has done well though, having pivoted a couple of times in our year of existence, offering contingency staffing during the 2nd and 3rd waves of COVID, even still now. This has proven to be both lucrative and rewarding. We are involved in a new project now, a concierge/a-la-carte service to independent seniors in their apartments/homes. As a company, we also have multiple other ideas and strategies to make ourselves successful with the goal of using that success to circle back around and provide the type of palliative and hospice care to Canadians that we originally built our dream upon. We are federally incorporated and registered here in Alberta and one day hope that Manchester Rose will be THE company to reach out to when aging in place and peaceful transitions are the goal. With multiple pivots and new ideas, our marketing and sales are somewhat blurred and we need assistance to get things back into focus. We require plans and strategies to reach our population, while also considering who can and will pay for our services. As a family company, focused on senior care, we do ultimately want to reach all seniors regardless of station in life, or ability to pay. However, that is something that we financially have to aspire to and will take some time, and is also something that we plan to continue to work with politicians and other key people to facilitate through policy and funding changes. This project will require a diverse team of people working towards a collaborative goal, helping us to focus our marketing and sales outreach to better inform and excite our potential clientele in the community. We look forward to working along with the team, sharing ideas, learning from you while also sharing some of the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial world. The family atmosphere at Manchester Rose cannot be beat! We care about our clients and employees holistically and appreciate open and honest communication as well as diverse and innovative ideas. We have already hired multiple new graduates in the health sciences to work with patients and facilities and cannot wait to work with a team of up and coming movers and shakers in the business world KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES/TÂCHES ASSOCIÉES AU PROJET: Market Research, Marketing and Sales Plan and Implementation, Multimodal Media Content Creation IDEAL ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES/RÔLES/RESPONSABILITÉS:* Market Researcher/Analyst, Print and Media Marketer, Social Media Content Writer and Marketer, Podcast Content Writer, Sales Strategist FINAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES/LIVRABLES DU PROJET: Detailed analysis of potential clientele for multifaceted service offerings and plan to market to them Ready to implement, affordable marketing and sales plan to incorporate all modes of media (print, broadcast, social, etc.)
