Ashfield Health Gives Back With Make it Matter Day
The Ashfield Health mantra is make it matter. This is more than a phrase—it’s a powerful purpose.
On Friday, November 12th, Ashfield Health set out to make a difference as 1,500 people from 7 agencies, across 7 countries came together to make a positive impact on their communities.
Ashfield Health team members helped individuals, organizations, families, and workers that have been impacted by COVID.
The network participated in community initiatives and offered valuable perspective as to why health is a central part of our lives.
Each agency organized multiple opportunities that supported local, regional, and global initiatives. The goal was to come together and have a lasting impact, both in our work—and in our communities.
The initiatives included delivering meals to homebound residents, packaging food for Meals on Wheels, volunteering at a local farm, helping out at pet shelters, providing Christmas gifts for children, cleaning up local community parks, writing cards for kids in the hospital, volunteering at schools, assisting hospice centers, supporting the Shoebox Project for Women which helps homeless women, raising awareness for Long Covid, sponsoring hikes to leverage charitable donations, giving blood, supporting organizations that benefit foster care kids, assembling care bags for seniors, and much more.
“Make it Matter is not just a catch phrase for us, it’s a powerful purpose,” said Amar Urhekar, Global President at Ashfield Health. “On November 12th, for the first time ever, we brought Make it Matter to life in completely unprecedented ways. We sent a message to our colleagues, clients, and our communities, that we are here to make a difference.”
The Ashfield Health agencies that participated in Make it Matter Day included: Ashfield MedComms, Canale Comms, Create NYC, Galliard, Incisive Health, MicroMass, and Mind+Matter.
“When we work together, we can make everything we do… matter,” said Ashfield Health Global Growth Director, Simon Hackett. “Our team members delivered happiness, joy, and support to countless people whose lives have been impacted by Covid. We donated our time, energy, and generosity to change lives.”
What was the impact?
The response on social media has been phenomenal. Good engagement rate for social media platforms is around 2-6%. The average engagement for the Ashfield Health posts is currently above 20%, with multiple posts over 30%.
Ashfield Health and Ashfield Health agencies documented their day on social media channels including LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.
“Make it Matter is more than a mission at Ashfield Health, it’s the way in which a global network of more than 1,500 operates,” said Associate Director, Behavioral Strategy (at MicroMass), Margot Mahannah. “It’s our north star to always be authentic, purposeful, and push to find new ways to make a change—for the better.”
