Finding provocative headlines and thought-provoking talking points was also crucial for pitching the story to T1 media, trade publications and industry-specific media. Next was creating the content plan that would take the insights to market.
Identifying and setting the right strategy at the outset was key to success. To stand out in the market, brand-new research led the way. Applying fresh intelligence on how top organisations build resilience and harness talent in their workforce after a period of unprecedented disruption empowered Kelly to take a stance on the topic in a way that directly spoke to its buyers and their influencers, as well as the company’s existing clients.
The campaign centred around a data-rich digital report, featuring video highlights with headlines and key findings, an infographic and pull-quotes from Kelly leaders as well as executives of Kelly clients. The report was hosted natively on Kelly’s website, ensuring the team could track full engagement data and conversions throughout the life of the campaign. Coupled with this, a robust and highly-effective PR plan, including earned and paid media, was mapped out to ensure investment in the campaign resulted in great exposure and produced a strong return on investment.
Multiple teams contributed to the campaign’s success, primarily led by marketing and PR leadership. Internal communication, the strategic insights team, and business and Kelly’s divisional presidents played crucial roles. Client input and expertise from Kelly’s Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Innovation and Product Development further enriched the campaign’s impact.
