OBJECTIVE:
Through strategic media strategy, planning and placement increase student enrollment
Execution:
PMG took Miami University from more traditional advertising like cable, radio, and billboards to nontraditional media focusing 95% of their media buy on digital and Out-of- Home. The ability to monitor digital through analytics was key to understanding the effectiveness of the campaign. Being nimble and laser-focused gave us the opportunity to dive into the things that we’re working, and change strategy on things not working. With digital we focused on specific geographic areas, age cells, demographics and interest. This strategy targeted the exact audience we wanted and needed to reach. Through Out-of- Home we targeted the same audience and engaged them in public spaces and key events. For example: Airport charging stations, mall stairs, food tables entrance doors, and mobile charging stations set up at local events.
The client trusted us to take them into new areas to advertise. Just because you don’t see and hear the message on cable, radio, and billboards doesn’t mean it’s not working. We spend your money like it’s our money. Why spend the money if the right people don’t see it.
