Walt Disney may have had Mouseketeers, but the PR team from Fiskars have the Fiskateers. And they’ve helped to propel Fiskars’ online conversations and consumer sales to new heights.

Fiskars, a 366-year-old global supplier of consumer products for the home, garden and outdoors, understands the power of consumer loyalty. Its customers swear by its products, whether it’s a unique gardening tool or its trademark orange-handled scissors.

This loyalty, cultivated over centuries, gives Fiskars a unique PR and marketing tool — their clients.
