					<description><![CDATA[<p>Health Voices Victoria set out to build something the sector didn't yet have: a Trust Lab putting lived experience at the centre of how AI gets designed, adopted and governed in healthcare. Before any positioning work could start, the team needed a clear, shared understanding of what the Trust Lab actually was, who it needed to serve, and how to talk about it with credibility.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Our solution</strong></p>
<p>ThinkHatch was engaged as an extension of the Health Voices Victoria (HVV) team to evolve the AI in Health Trust Lab from an idea to a fully fledged, impactful and financially sustainable initiative. We ran structured discovery sessions with the HVV team, reviewing the organisation&#8217;s existing strategy, proposals and marketing materials, completed desktop research, and joined with the Activation Group – bringing together clinicians, researchers, policy voices and people with lived experience of the health system. That discovery phase confirmed scope and priorities and gave the team a shared project plan to move on with confidence. It also gave us the grounding to do the work that followed: turning a genuinely new kind of initiative into a clear position with corresponding messaging that would land with every audience who needed to back it – government, industry, researchers, clinicians and health consumers alike.</p>
<p>ThinkHatch developed the Trust Lab&#8217;s positioning framework, brand narrative, objectives and audience architecture, working closely with the Activation Group to pressure-test the thinking against real sector need rather than internal assumption. Alongside the positioning work, also co-designed with the Activation Group, we drafted the Trust Lab&#8217;s service offering and proposed pricing framework, giving Health Voices Victoria a commercial shape to what had, until then, been a strong idea without a business model.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>All Things Equal is a Melbourne-based social enterprise opening doors to professional hospitality careers for people with disability. Through its café, catering services, and structured three-stage employment pathway, the organisation delivers real skills, real jobs, and real support – proving inclusive hiring is good business.</p>
<p>As the organisation prepares for growth its leadership recognised the need for sharper, more consistent messaging to connect with diverse audiences: café customers, catering clients, employment partners, and prospective trainees. ThinkHatch was engaged to bring their story into clear, confident focus, strengthen audience-specific messages, and create a practical framework that could be used across the website, proposals, campaigns and more. </p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Our solution</strong></p>
<p>We worked with the inspiring All Things Equal team to create a full messaging makeover, building a brand story that is both professionally credible and warmly human.</p>
<p>Our process included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Refining the overarching brand narrative and elevator pitch</li>
<li>Defining key audience segments and tailored value propositions</li>
<li>Developing proof-backed messaging pillars to strengthen trust</li>
<li>Crafting taglines and headlines for use across channels</li>
<li>Documenting tone-of-voice guidelines for consistent, confident communication</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result was a complete brand messaging guide that equips the All Things Equal team to speak with one clear voice.</p>
<p>This new framework aligns the team internally, supports business development, and sets a solid foundation for marketing – helping All Things Equal grow its reach and create more inclusive employment opportunities.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>All Things Equal (ATE) is an inspiring Melbourne-based social enterprise on a mission to pioneer the future of employment for people with disability. Through its cafés, catering business, and structured hospitality training programs, ATE provides award-wage jobs, purposeful training, and pathways to meaningful careers in hospitality.<br />
After an inspiring few years, and recent high-profile moments such as an incredible Australian Open pop up café and the release of its Equal Opportunity Report, ATE entered 2025 poised for expansion. With a second café on the horizon, catering primed for growth, and an ambitious goal to help the industry create 1,100 jobs by 2035, the organisation needed a clear, prioritised marketing strategy.<br />
ThinkHatch was absolutely delighted to deliver the strategy to help ATE focus its resources, strengthen its brand positioning, and create a high impact, multi-audience marketing roadmap that will accelerate both its commercial sustainability and social impact.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Our solution </strong></p>
<p>ThinkHatch led an in depth strategic process, starting with discovery workshops, stakeholder interviews, and a review of ATE’s marketing assets, digital presence, and audience engagement journeys. We mapped challenges affecting growth, from operational bottlenecks to audience awareness gaps, and identified the ‘push/pull’ dynamic of trainee supply and employer demand as a key strategic focus.</p>
<p>From there, we delivered a co designed marketing strategy built on clear audience priorities and actionable, phased initiatives. This included:</p>
<ul>
<li>An over-arching approach to marketing and foundations for success</li>
<li>Clarified customer journeys mapped with strategic touchpoints and tactical initiatives</li>
<li>Targeted B2B/B2C plans for catering, café visitation, and employment partner engagement</li>
<li>Recommendations for data capture, lead nurturing and campaigns</li>
<li>Content themes to amplify ATE’s thought leadership and social impact storytelling</li>
<li>Quick win tactics to boost local awareness and repeat visitation, alongside bigger projects for scalable growth</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result is a clear marketing roadmap that balances commercial and social objectives, empowers ATE’s new in house marketing lead, and positions the organisation as a national leader in inclusive employment within hospitality. Armed with this plan, ATE can now accelerate toward its vision with focus, clarity, and measurable impact. And we&#8217;re here alongside them to bolster capability and capacity with external support and expertise.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The organisation had a business-wide growth trajectory of significant proportions against a backdrop that included a stretched executive team lacking marketing leadership, a Marketing Manager on maternity leave, a national team needing brand clarity, clear direction and support to expand, and were navigating major new contracts and relationship building within the global pandemic and beyond. The CEO and COO did not know that a Factional Marketing Director was going to be the solution but they knew they needed help. What started as a 2 day/week initial 6 month engagement morphed into more than 2 years of ongoing, meaningful support and the formation of a fruitful and wonderful whole of team relationship.  </p>

<p>Working with the senior executive team, Roch facilitated whole-of-business strategies and associated marketing plans. She supported the CEO and COO in driving the evolution of the brand and growth of the business, and oversaw leaders responsible for campaign development and delivery, mentored the marketing team, and contributed to key annual programs as well as some ad hoc initiatives as required.</p>
<p>From high value industry research projects, to client and candidate strategies, new business pitches, and ground-breaking female leadership mentoring programs, the role extended across most areas of the business.</p>
<p>COO, Amelia DeAngelis, described Roch as &#8220;a gold panner of ideas – sifting through the rough to pick out the gems&#8221;.</p>
<p>She said that, &#8220;As a marketing adviser, Roch is an expert in all things marketing. But also so much more – business, sales, client experience, training support. I’m not sure there is much Roch couldn’t try her hand at. Her whole of business approach has been invaluable in integrating marketing within our growing business&#8221;.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The leadership of the privately-owned Spotlight Retail Group, which includes Spotlight, Anaconda, Harris Scarfe, and Mountain Designs brands, sought to better understand the potential for corporate social responsibility (CSR) within their business. While they had already implemented a range of positive initiatives, they sought a strategy to support their progress, a method for documenting and communicating existing efforts, and a shared understanding of future priorities. They engaged ThinkHatch to assist in developing their CSR strategy and the communications plan that supports it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Our solution </strong></p>
<p>Desktop research, founder and senior executive team meetings, leadership and stakeholder interviews and a series of codesign workshops were all part of the journey to define a suitable CSR strategy that leverages the group’s scale whilst also allowing for tailored adoption and activation at the individual brand level. It was important to suitably package up and communicate all the great work already being done across the group, as well identify primary areas of focus and key opportunities for each brand – namely Spotlight, Anaconda, Harris Scarfe and Mountain Designs. It was also vital that we develop a strategy and program of work that supports core business objectives and that sits well within strong, long-held organisational values.</p>
<p>From discovery research, through to defining and developing the strategy in consultation with a multitude of stakeholders, we are now engaged with the group to support on delivery.</p>
