case study: integrated advertising for montauk

The Challenge

Our challenge was to boost awareness of brand Montauk and website to high-quality leads within a limited budget. Simultaneously, to refocus the brand’s image in a memorable way to three new audiences.

The Strategy

The strategy was to reach audiences across multiple online advertising channels using geographic-targeting, attribute-specific creative content and offers in a mix of video, display, and text formats.

We produced three videos with persuasive content for specific audiences for online advertising and television in 15-seconds to three minutes and mobile formats. We measured views and investment per impression versus other ad formats.  At the same time, we integrated advertising and organic channels over a nine-month period to optimize the brand’s budget.

Importantly, we coordinated with the brand’s webmaster to optimize the website for keywords, engaging content and video, and landing pages.
