Discovery Education
A worldwide edtech leader expands its social reach through influencer marketing
Goals
Almost overnight, schools and districts nationwide shifted to remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing concerns about students’ mental health and well-being. Social-emotional learning (SEL) resources and additional supportive content from education companies such as Discovery Education became essential.
Discovery Education partnered with CB&A to collaborate with education influencers on earned and paid media opportunities, increasing awareness around Discovery Education’s SEL resources and attracting leads for new business. Through blog posts, stories and posts on multiple social media platforms, influencers invited K–12 educators to download Discovery Education’s SEL resources and additional content to help support their classroom lessons.
