The Challenge
The Institute of Neurodiversity (ION) envisioned a world where neurodivergent individuals are celebrated and empowered.
Tasked with ION's launch in the UK and Swiss markets, Material Impact was commissioned to raise awareness of the discrimination faced by neurodiverse individuals and secure coverage in industry-specific trade press with a focus on financial services.
Our Solution
In collaboration with ION, Material Impact pinpointed key areas of discrimination and engaged national and trade titles across each sector.
Our campaign, which caused a 40% rise in neurodiversity coverage compared to the previous period, changed the narrative from 'curing' neurodiversity to embracing it, inspiring hundreds to share their neurodiversity stories, often for the first time, both publicly and privately.
The Outcome
The campaign achieved notable success, being selected as LinkedIn's "news today" story and drawing unpaid participation from BBC Dragon Touker Suleyman.
We secured direct coverage in leading publications including full page profiles in the Financial Times, BBC Newsday (the largest radio breakfast show in the world by audience size), BBC.co.uk, Raconteur, Financial News and Forbes.
The ION grew to thousands of members in the weeks during and following the campaign.
