Well, what a year that was. Grab yourself a mince pie, down a thimble of sherry (or ten) and rock around the Christmas tree for pushing through 2020. It’s not been an easy ride has it. With lockdowns driving more businesses online and forcing brands to rethink their marketing strategy, it’s fair to say we’ve been busy.
In true Contentworks style, we’ve tried to be as flexible as possible, restrategising with clients and providing our online marketing expertise. While 2021 is sure to throw up more challenges, we want to round the year off on a positive note. So, before you get a little too merry, we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone we’ve worked with this year. Here’s our Director’s Christmas message 2020.
A special Christmas shout-out goes to:
Our Chosen Charity – Room to Read
Our chosen charity Room to Read has absolutely wowed us this year. A much-needed light during a global storm, Room to Read has gone above and beyond to help children remain keen learners during lockdowns and school closures. We reported on this earlier in the year, but this incredible not for profit organisation has worked tirelessly to:
- Navigate Internet Connectivity Issues
With many students not being able to access the internet from home, Room to Read has focussed on offering distance learning to low-income children such as over the phone mentoring for participants of the Girl’s Education Program.
- Offer Educational Instruction Via Radio Broadcast
Those without internet can also benefit from educational radio broadcasts, helping students to remain keen learners throughout the pandemic.
- Launch Literacy Cloud, a Digital Learning Platform
The Literacy Cloud offers easy-to-access online books which are available to download for offline use and tailored to each specific reading level. The platform currently offers storybook titles in English and Bahasa Indonesia and will be quickly expanding in multiple additional languages in the coming weeks and months.
Please donate to Room to Read now and into 2021. We look forward to supporting their efforts as we embrace the next 12 months.

Discussing this year’s collaborations, Director of Business, Niki Nikolaou said:
“It has been a tough year, but great things arise from difficult situations. The level of open mindedness, trust and support we’ve seen from clients has been wonderful, allowing us to navigate a tricky climate with efficiency and creativity.”
Our Team
We’re an international global marketing agency supported by a great team. We couldn’t do what we love without the help of such talented people and we’re really grateful to our writers, analysts, social media managers and designers.
As well as populating our Contentworks blog with content to suit the ever-changing digital marketing world, our content elves keep Medium in full swing, provide daily reports and crypto analysis, keep our monthly outlooks flowing and are on the ball with blogs, PRs, social updates and more.
Talking about the team at Contentworks, Creative Director Charlotte said:
“Our diverse team has always been decentralized and that allows us to utilise top talent from around the world. It also meant there was no interruption to workflow from regional lockdowns. This year the team has pulled hard to keep up with increased demand, delivering exceptional and timely content to our clients. They are superstars!”
