TEASING FACTS TO CAPTURE INTEREST

Question: How can we make sure we get the biggest push for our brand when changing our name in the US?
Answer: Implement a comprehensive advertising and public relations plan.

Business owners had little awareness of WeiserMazars and Mazars nationally in the US and we needed to get their attention when we changed our name at the start of 2017.

We created a comprehensive advertising campaign and public relations strategy to raise brand awareness and to get them to visit our website.

The campaign theme “Who is Mazars,” centers on a sense of mystery, and teases the marketplace with a few facts about Mazars and how the firm has the knowledge to help your company achieve your business goals.

With the rise of digital radio and the ability to target to specific demographics, we ran Pandora radio ads targeting different audience types; such as new recruits to experienced hires.

The ads drive the audience to a landing page where we answer the question, “Who is Mazars” with “We Are Mazars.” We showcase four industries and their leaders, with studies and articles.

The landing page allows us to capture the overall effectiveness of the campaign by understanding the number of clicks the landing page receives, as well as the number of individuals that complete the contact form.

Our public relations firm proceeded to set up a series of interviews with major publications and coincided articles we had authored to be published with our name roll-out.

Additionally, social media campaigns launched at the same time as the ad campaign playing around the theme of We Are Mazars.

Helping Women Employees to “Be Visible”

The firm is focused on the development and retention of women leaders within the organization. One component of this is a program to highlight our existing women leaders at the firm by sharing their stories in an engaging video and website platform, called “Be Visible.”

To “Be Visible” is to step forward to lead and empower others. Each month a new leader is showcased with their personal career journey.

We use a variety of communication tools to distribute the video: an email goes out to all employees driving them to the website; it is featured in the break room TVs, the internal newsletter The Insider, and on the company intranet, InSite.

This storytelling method demonstrates to the staff that there is not one clear path to leadership, but many diverse paths, and they have great role models at the firm to seek advice.

Creating Engaging Social Media Campaigns to Drive Brand Awareness

“Social media for an accounting firm? It can’t be done well. It is boring. No one will engage with the posts.”

Those were some popular thoughts among marketers in the professional services industries just a few years ago. We took it as a challenge to prove them wrong.

A marketing associate on our team showed potential in the social media space and I encouraged her to try new and creative ways to push our firm’s brand into the marketplace to gain awareness. Fast-forward a few years later and she is now our digital marketing manager and has increased our firm’s social profile 1000x. We created several “hashtag campaigns” to allow our audience to get to know us as individuals at the firm and to show a sense of humor during busy season.

The following examples demonstrate the power of social media and the fact that it can and will help any subject come to life!
