Case study for
Power Forward
Global lead generation B2B advertising campaign on digital transformation.
The challenge
CSC (now DXC technology), one of the first software companies with over 133,000 employees and operating in 70 countries is pushing the envelope in regards to digital transformation. Working with the Faction Media team (CSC’s marketing agency) we conceived a global lead generation campaign aimed at engaging businesses and educating them on migrating from legacy systems to digital solutions across 3 vertical and 5 horizontal markets. The goal was to generate substantial leads across many different industries and countries and to position CSC as the leading solution provider.
Our solution
An experiential, interactive and multi-language microsite with CMS, animated banner ads, emails, eight white papers, and Eloqua lead database.
Attention grabbing creative
The creative concept was designed to show an eye-catching visual representation of “change”. Eight industry-specific designs were also produced to be used on the site, banners ads, and emails.
Engaging, Responsive Microsite
An exploratory language localized microsite with CMS was built that led a user down a journey of learning the legacy related problems and CSC solutions relative to their industry. Eight gated white papers were created to generate leads.
HTML5 animated banner ads
Specific HTML5 animated banner ads were created for the different horizontals and verticals and sent to targeted industry professionals directing them to the microsite.
Email marketing & Social
Industry specific emails were sent to existing and potential customers promoting digital transformation and directing to the microsite. Facebook and Twitter ads were also created.
The creative
From old to new, a creative concept showing the history of change.
Walkthrough
Video walkthrough of the microsite hub used to provide education, assets, and generate leads.
With markets in 70 countries and many industries to cover, this global campaign needed a central hub to direct banner ads, email campaigns, social media, and print towards. We designed and built a responsive, fast microsite with lightweight CMS to be served with market and language specific content and assets. Eight white papers were crated as gated assets to generate leads while videos, info-bits, and blog posts informed and educated customers.
The Results
This campaign was a massive success and brought in new business upwards of tens of millions in revenue. The total cost for the creative campaign and media was a fraction of the revenue gained and won various awards. All timelines were met and the project stayed within it’s scope of work and budget.
