Together Digital Giants and Mintent worked with the Calgary YMCA to promote the opening of two new childcare centres: the Quarry Park Child Development Centre and the brand new Remington YMCA Child Development Centre.
Digital Giants developed a multi-channel online marketing strategy focused on leveraging online social media influencers, creating informative content shared across multiple channels to drive leads through to the website. This was a short, one-month campaign.
Content:
Digital Giants Developed content assets to help inform and educate the audience about the new centres and the YMCA’s “Play to Learn” Curriculum, including videos and a blog. Leveraged existing photos to help illustrate key benefits to the audience.
Website and Landing Pages:
Updated the website landing page and created a series of campaign specific landing pages to improve conversion. Landing pages were updated throughout the campaign using data-driven insights from each channel.
SEO and Keywords:
Conducted research on keywords to use for the content and the online advertising. Leveraged backlinking opportunities through influencer blog posts.
Influencer Campaign:
Worked with local influencers to write content-rich blog posts. Each influencer was given a set of unique URLs (Tracked Links by Mintent) to use within their blog posts, as well as links to the blog posts, themselves to distribute via their social media channels. These smart URLs enabled the agency to track the effectiveness of each influencer (refer to image A) and each of their channels in driving traffic, as well as conversion on the website and landing pages. Without the use of Tracked Links, this data would not have been available to them.

Paid Social Campaigns: Digital Giants created advertising campaigns for Facebook, Google Grants, and Google Adwords. Tracked Links were used across all advertising in order to track the effectiveness of each of the ads in terms of driving traffic and conversions.

Social Media: Created an editorial campaign to drive traffic to the website. Used Tracked Links to track each piece of content and each channel to better understand which pieces of content shared to which social channels were driving track and conversion on the website. (refer to image B)

Campaign Measurement: Using Tracked Links enabled the agency to track on-site, and more importantly, off-site content engagement metrics with infinite levels of tagging for detailed, segmented reporting.
Two days after launch, the team poured through the results and were able to optimize conversion components with real-time engagement data
