Status/Client Overview

Camfil, a global leader in air filtration and purification, has been at the forefront of environmental consciousness and energy efficiency in product development. Founded on the principles of innovation and sustainability, Camfil’s commitment extends across industrial dust, mist, and smoke collection, with significant operations in Europe and expansions into the Slovak, British, and Irish markets.

Problem Statement

Despite its industry leadership, Camfil faced challenges in improving employee perception and attracting new talent, particularly in its Slovak branch. Additionally, the company aimed to strengthen its market presence in the British and Irish markets, necessitating a robust approach to employer branding and community engagement.

Goals

The main objectives were:

  • Enhance Camfil’s perception as an attractive employer to boost recruitment and retention.
  • Build a strong local community presence to increase monthly website visitors and engagement.

Pain Points
