Description

As in all countries across the world, the communications directors of French advertisers’ are extremely busy.Appointment requests to introduce a new brand content agency are at best delegated, or worse, ignored.The main objective of our campaign was to succeed in sufficiently intriguing communications directors in order to get an appointment to present the agency. All of that within a budget of 5 000 euros or less.We decided to create a customized campaign for each communications director, meaning 150 different campaigns for the 150 communications directors targeted.Each one had to do a Google search with his/her name to discover the video – extremely flattering – specially made for him/her, and a unique e-mail account created specially for the occasion in order to contact us.To make our seduction campaign known to our target, and to encourage them to google themselves, we also had a video made – also extremely flattering – for each top journalist specialized in marketing and communication, in order to obtain a maximum number of articles in the press.Journalists and communications directors liked our campaign, which allowed us to obtain a lot of appointments for such a small budget…
