Join June Li, Founder & Managing Director of ClickInsight, for her thought leader conversation, ABCs of Establishing Credibility, facilitated by Kelly Kubrick, owner of Online Authority, open to all DAA members. A frequent frustration voiced by analysts and consultants is that their recommendations are ignored. Action is not taken. Although communication is part of the equation, even if you are crystal clear, if you do not have credibility, nothing will happen.

During this event, you will:

  1. See why credibility is more than credentials and experience.
  2. Understand how to establish credibility as an analyst, a leader and a consultant.
  3. Learn the simple rules for establishing, maintaining and growing credibility.

Spur Event Registrations using Facebook advertising

by Kelly Kubrick on November 16, 2018

Campaign Objectives

The RCMP Foundation, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police‘s charitable arm, sought registrants for its first-ever online horse auction. Those same registrants were also welcome to participate in a sister event, an in-person horse auction: “See inside the RCMP Foundation’s horse auction” from CBC News.

The Plan

In advance of the campaign launch, the RCMP Foundation developed English and French landing pages announcing details for each auctions, and encouraging visitors to register to bid on any of the 30+ magnificent Hanovarian horses available for sale.

Where digital fit

In addition to securing traditional media coverage including PR and advertising in horse industry magazines, see examples below:

and publishing organic social media content and distributing email newsletters, the RCMP Foundation approved a paid media advertising buy on Facebook.

While researching potential audiences to target on Facebook, Online Authority oversaw the technical implementation needed for a Facebook advertising campaign as undertaken by the RCMP Foundation’s agency:

Following that, in the client’s Facebook Ad account, Online Authority created targeted Website Custom Audiences (WCA) based on past buyer lists and website visitors. Online Authority also developed necessary naming conventions for Google Analytics UTM tracking codes to track the impact of email efforts vs the Facebook ad buy.

In its research, Online Authority identified 65 possible target audiences within Facebook for review and approval by the client. Those were narrowed to 23 optimal choices for launch. Online Authority created each as unique Facebook Ad Sets in order to monitor the performance of each audience against one another.

As the landing page continue to evolve, Online Authority finalized the paid media creative, including copy treatment, and the campaign was activated. Below are three sample placements of the creative that ran, and some of the response generated:

Campaign Results

All 23 ad sets launched simultaneously and performance of each was monitored on a daily basis. Within one week, the ad sets were narrowed to the top performers.

By the number of auction registrants, the approach proved so successful that the campaign was paused at the two-week of a planned six-week campaign. The best news for this fundraising effort? Further, all horses were sold with revenue targets exceeded.

Landing page for Facebook ad campaign

Email capture of critical potential customer segments with Facebook advertising

by Kelly Kubrick on December 1, 2016

Campaign Objectives

MyLiberty.life, a Canadian online retailer, wanted to increase the number of email subscribers interested in a particular category of products.

The Plan:

In advance of its Facebook media buy, MyLiberty.life developed an informative, long format blog post that spoke directly to the needs of the particular customer segment.

In addition to the relevant content provided in the post, MyLiberty.life created a highly-value downloadable product comparison chart – a lead magnet – which they offered to readers in exchange for signing up for their email newsletter.

The blog post acted as the paid traffic campaign landing page, with calls to download the comparison chart incorporated repeatedly throughout the text.

Where digital fit:

Given the profile of the customer segment, MyLiberty.life elected to focus its paid media efforts on Facebook. In addition to researching potential audiences on Facebook, Online Authority undertook the necessary technical implementation, including:

  1. Creating and configuring the client’s Facebook Business Manager Account;
  2. Creating the client’s Facebook ad account;
  3. Creating the client’s Facebook Pixel and installing it the ecommerce platform; and
  4. Setting up Website Custom Audiences (WCA) within the client’s Facebook Ad account, including a) Traffic to unique content sections of the website, b) An audience unique to its email subscriber list;
  5. Developing naming conventions for Google Analytics UTM tracking codes for use later in the campaign.

As the landing page evolved and the lead magnet was finalized, Online Authority developed the paid media creative with MyLiberty.life. This included identifying a theme, which in turn drove the copy treatment and three possible approaches to the imagery.

The campaign launched with alternative creative tested in weekly rotation:

Results:

As the most responsive target and custom audiences were identified, Online Authority expanded MyLiberty’s ad sets to include ‘lookalike’ audiences.

This service is offered to Facebook advertisers, and uses technology to ‘look for’ Facebook users who exhibit similar profile characteristics of your already-know-to-be-ideal users. This allows you to access a uniquely qualified audience that you might not otherwise be able to uncover.

The approached proved so successful for email capture that to this day, MyLiberty runs periodic flights of the campaign so as to continually boost subscriptions of this segment to its list.

Updated: MyLiberty has replicated the approach for additional customer segments and intends to continue rolling out new ones as they are identified:
