Anatomy of a Web-Advertising Campaign
Summary: Marketing at the Core
When the web first emerged as a business tool, search engine optimization (SEO) quickly became a buzzword. Every day, my inbox is filled with tips on achieving the best search engine rankings, and clients frequently express their desire to be not just search-friendly but search-obsessed.
For a long time, we've advocated for the importance of delivering a clear marketing message. Your message should not be diluted by techniques that only target search engine algorithms while alienating genuine potential customers.
While some may consider this perspective controversial, there are marketers who understand that websites must do more than attract random visitors. Websites should convey messages that are memorable, comprehensible, and, ideally, integrate into the audience’s belief systems.
Given this, we were thrilled when Google introduced Google Video Ads and acquired YouTube. This move acknowledged video as a legitimate web medium, contradicting those who prioritize SEO gimmicks over genuine content.
More and more companies, from giants like Forbes and Ford to small businesses, are leveraging web audio and video. They're using multimedia to gain an advantage over competitors still fixated on SEO.
Acknowledging Key Issues
To promote web audio and video as effective marketing tools, we identified four key issues to address:
1. Focus on Marketing Message: Emphasize website design that prioritizes the marketing message over SEO.
2. Affordability for All: Show that professional web audio and video are accessible even to small and medium-sized companies.
3. Quality and Expertise: Highlight that professional multimedia requires specialized creative and technical skills.
4. Talent Over Size: Demonstrate that successful multimedia content depends on talent and experience, not the size of your company.
The Concept
We needed a concept that was attention-grabbing and bold. Challenging SEO norms was already controversial, but we also aimed to present opposing views effectively. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Mac commercials, we created a series of videos featuring characters representing different perspectives. This format illustrated how even small production companies can create high-quality multimedia campaigns.
A Market Ready for Change
Our advocacy for using multimedia marketing was beginning to resonate with companies frustrated by the costs and inefficacy of chasing SEO's holy grail. Executives started to realize that effective marketing is about conveying a message, not just manipulating keyword density.
Production Process
We ensured our campaign had a unique sound by composing original theme music and creating characters that would deliver our message. The videos were not crafted to sell directly but to highlight that SEO shouldn't be the sole focus when developing web media campaigns.
After drafting eighteen scripts addressing SEO versus multimedia issues, we cast two talented actors within a sensible budget. Our production process, from writing to filming, was streamlined for efficiency and innovation.
Implementation
We uploaded the first series of videos to Google Video and YouTube, and also created a dedicated webpage to house the full campaign, each video highlighting a unique aspect of the SEO versus multimedia debate. These videos were also incorporated into a Google Video Ad campaign.
