The Good Guys

FROM THE JUDGES

Gamification worked well to bring team leaders closer to the community outcomes needed that The Good Guys could help to achieve. Memorable and something that would be a talking point for those involved for a long time. Reduced the distance from the mission that sometimes comes with ‘just’ a donation.”
