In collaboration with the University of Alberta and the Campus Alberta Risk and Assurance Committee (CARA), Sandbox created the Safety Culture Enhancement Campaign to promote physical, psychological, and cultural safety across 26 postsecondary institutions. With a focus on raising awareness and fostering a culture of safety, the campaign utilized a diverse multi-channel strategy to connect with academic communities. By leveraging engaging visuals, an interactive microsite, and tailored video content, the campaign established itself as a vital resource for strengthening institutional safety practices.

The campaign adopted an integrated approach to engagement, featuring posters, digital displays, and an interactive microsite as a central resource hub. A flagship video showcased realistic safety scenarios, complemented by shorter thematic clips addressing specific safety issues. These elements were strategically distributed during a three-week pilot rollout, successfully engaging over 900 employees across 26 postsecondary institutions. The campaign’s data-driven design ensured precise targeting, with direct traffic contributing to 65% of microsite visits and organic traffic achieving an impressive 9.8 actions per user: indicating significant interest and involvement.

The high engagement levels highlighted the campaign’s success in fostering awareness and dialogue around safety issues. By equipping institutions with practical tools and resources, the campaign contributed to an ongoing transformation of safety practices, laying the groundwork for sustainable cultural improvements across postsecondary environments.
