As we bid a fond farewell to 2022 we've taken some time to look back at our key successes from the past 12 months. From supporting IKEA and H&M with the launch of their new ‘hyper local’ retail brand Atelier100 and launching Sonos in the Baltic region to managing a global comms strategy for Kaunas European Capital of Culture, here’s a round up of the work we’re most proud of in 2022.
1. Bringing Kaunas to the world through a global communications strategy
A clear highlight for AM+A this year was working on a global communications and campaign strategy for Kaunas in Lithuania to support their European Capital of Culture 2022 programme.
Our global strategy was based around three key milestone events, in addition to ongoing support for the Capital of Culture programme. AM+A developed an online media centre and communications system to share key news with the media on a weekly basis.
In collaboration with the brilliant Kaunas2022 team, AM+A were able to generate continuous coverage for the European Capital of Culture in key international media titles. We generated 77 items of coverage, with an estimated reach of over 634,287,654 people.
