Description
In these spots we see determined youth go to extreme lengths to land a job.
Execution
We worked with multiple video platforms to track weekly categories of trending videos in Ontario featuring, animals, sports, movies, music, babies, food, and fails. Then created contextual :15 s pre-rolls that appeared before these viral videos in these categories We had pre-rolls for 8 categories in total, covering 80 percent of search terms. Each video spoke to directly young people by showing the government understood that watching a video wasn't a sign of laziness, but in fact the opposite. A marker of someone who had the ambition to learn new things and better themselves.
Outcome
Over 10,000 young people were directly placed into jobs through the campaign. This was accomplished 67% faster than the government's targets. The pre-rolls had click through rates that were 300% higher than the government norm.
