Client Success Stories
The impact of the project is best illustrated through its impressive success stories. For instance, the “Money Match Up – Let’s Talk Money!” campaign was designed for the Co-operative Bank to engage community-minded 25-44-year-old Kiwis, reinforcing the “Bank Better NZ” platform. Through light-hearted, conversational content that featured couples discussing finances with humorous, therapist-style undertones, the campaign sparked vital conversations around money while enhancing financial literacy.
Another success story is seen in the campaign for Metlifecare, which featured media personality Kerre Woodham to boost brand awareness and lead generation. Through engaging video content, sponsored stories, and practical guides, the marketing efforts achieved high click-through rates and extended page view times. These results effectively highlighted Metlifecare’s diverse retirement living options in an increasingly competitive market.
In-depth Campaign Strategies
The project also demonstrates ingenuity through campaigns that require out-of-the-box thinking. One campaign, known as D3 Path Viper, delivered a hyper-targeted strategy for ZIWI at the Disney Pet Expo. Even when faced with strict venue limitations, the strategy deployed a network of strategic 500-meter geo-fences surrounding key locations—from airports to resorts. Innovative approaches such as targeted digital out-of-home displays, rideshare ads, and mobile platform content were used to overcome challenges and deliver the brand message effectively.
Moreover, the project showcases a sophisticated approach to SEO through the “Getting Milford in the rankings!” campaign. This initiative involved building complex data models and employing precise strategies to ensure the right approach was taken. Sometimes, SEO is not cut and dry… it requires that extra level of analytical insight.
