In this Case Study: Explore how The Cancer Coach’s Tree of Life Programme built an anti-cancer community platform, showcasing the impact of strategic community engagement.
This case study provides a comprehensive overview of my role and contributions to The Cancer Coach’s Tree of Life Anti-Cancer Lifestyle Community and Programme. It highlights the challenges, my strategic approach, the positive outcomes achieved, and reflects on the overall impact.
Background:
The Cancer Coach embarked on a mission to transform the way we approach cancer prevention and recovery through the Tree of Life Anti-Cancer Lifestyle Community and Programme. This revolutionary initiative is designed to support, inspire, and empower individuals with comprehensive strategies integrating Behaviour Change and The Anticancer Super 6™— Stress Management, Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, Gut Health, and Protection from Toxins.
Challenge:
Creating a vibrant and supportive community where members feel empowered to share experiences, seek advice, and access reliable information on anti-cancer lifestyles posed a significant challenge. The goal was not only to provide educational content but also to cultivate a space for meaningful connections and mutual support among those affected by cancer.
Approach:
As the Community Manager, my role involved a multi-faceted approach to community cultivation and programme advocacy:
- Community Engagement: Strategies to actively nurture and engage the online community, with the goal of fostering positive interactions and meaningful connections.
- Content Management: Curating and creating compelling content to resonate with the community’s interests, with the goal of keeping them informed and motivated.
- Feedback Integration: Liaison between the community and the development team, to leverage insights to continually enhance the Tree of Life programme.
- Partnership Development: Collaborate with workplace well-being providers, healthcare insurers, and employers to integrate and roll-out Tree of Life into corporate wellness programs, in order to expanding its reach and impact.
Outcome:
The Tree of Life community has completed a year of live testing under this approach, becoming a platform that can be a beacon of hope and a source of valuable information for individuals seeking to adopt an anti-cancer lifestyle. The programme has seen a significant amount of testing and evolution, both in terms of Members using the platform as well as learnings from The Cancer Coach’s own sales activities and negotiations with B2Bs in terms of implementing Tree of Life for their audiences. This knowledge has highlighted the power of community and the importance of comprehensive wellness strategies in cancer prevention and recovery, and puts The Cancer Coach in the perfect position for phase 2 of it’s Go to Market plan, which includes the development and launch of a new community and programme platform to improve functionality as well as pass stringent systems and supplier criteria required by large B2B organisations.
