The Good Grub initiative: feeding families in need

‘Good Grub’ is a not-for-profit established during the first wave of COVID-19 that set out to deliver fresh food to the families of disadvantaged schoolkids who normally got their breakfast and lunch at school. As part of our agency’s ‘Be the Good’ initiative, we volunteered to work with Good Grub on a pro-bono basis, providing PR support to generate media coverage and help reach the initial target of €100K to deliver food for as long as possible.

We developed a PR strategy focussed on media and community relations, influencer outreach and digital support. The strategy included developing clear messages to achieve cut-through during an extremely busy news agenda. We issued a national launch release and followed up with successive milestone releases – first target reached, second target set, appeal going nationwide, etc. We engaged extensively with influencers to help spread the word and worked continuously on media outreach to secure broadcast interviews with the Good Grub team.

In total, Good Grub has distributed 125,000+ fresh food packs to the families of disadvantaged children around Ireland. Good Grub still needs your help! You can make a donation, however small, to Good Grub here.
