Focusing on Messaging & Targeting

We developed a cross-channel strategy that would not only reposition the company in the eyes of its target market, but also maximize sales prospects through lead generation-focused landing pages.

Competitive Analysis Reveals Messaging Opportunities

First, we conducted an analysis to uncover Mediasite’s true competitive advantages, risks, opportunities, and weaknesses. This produced a wealth of messaging opportunities that we built into a series of paid search, display, Facebook, and LinkedIn ads. We brought the same messaging themes through to Mediasite’s landing pages to create a cohesive and engaging user experience.
Getting the Right Message to the Right Users in the Right Place

To get our messaging to the right users in the right place, we developed a cross-channel sequential messaging strategy that bested the competition, built awareness for the brand, put the product in users’ consideration set, encouraged engagement, and ultimately drove qualified prospects.
An Extensive Targeting Strategy

Underlying everything was an exhaustive targeting strategy for each phase of the consumer journey. One of the most important aspects to get right was the awareness phase. We partnered with Facebook to utilize its B2B audience beta, which allowed ads to be shown only to B2B decision makers in mid to enterprise-level businesses within specific industries.
