With Halloween fast approaching, we wanted to create a topical piece of Digital PR content that we could use to acquire backlinks for our luxury travel client, The Thinking Traveller. With the knowledge that TTT offered private villas close to some of Europe’s most historic castles, we decided to look at which of these landmarks were the most popular on Instagram. To do this we conducted research to find existing lists of the best castles in Europe and then recorded the number of hashtags for each castle. We worked with The Thinking Travellers internal design team to create visual assets and we created a blog post to give publications a source of data to link back to. This piece of content landed 72 links across six different countries, including the US and Canada. The combined readerships of the publications we landed coverage in exceeded 7M monthly visitors.
We know that The Thinking Traveller’s audience is passionate about sustainability and social responsibility when they travel abroad, so we launched ‘The Thoughtful Traveller Day’ to encourage tourists to leave reviews. We then launched a private Facebook group, also named The Thoughtful Traveller which was exclusively for existing customers and would only allow 100 new members entry every year. Membership would afford perks like discounts and the only way to gain access is to prove that they had left a review. We included a membership question to the Facebook group where customers could tell us the business that they left the review for by using the hashtag #TheThoughtfulTraveller.
We worked with Bulk to raise awareness of body editing apps across Europe using Google search data. In Europe, the UK topped the list for monthly searches for these apps with a massive 23,510 searches per month. To raise awareness, we worked with influencers to edit their images. One had very subtle changes and the other visualised what would happen if you edited their photos the same number of times as people are searching for the apps in their respective country. For example, we edited Italian fitness influencer Emily Gervasio’s images 14,770 times to match how often people in her country were searching for these apps.
Our luxury travel client, The Thinking Traveller, called on us to help with organic link building and increasing online visibility. As the high season for travel in Europe was approaching, we decided to find out which beaches were the most popular. We looked at Instagram hashtag data. We researched existing ‘best beaches’ articles. We created seed lists and then recorded the number of hashtags on Instagram for each beach. We then created a series of graphics to illustrate our findings and created a blog post, so we had an original data source for publications to link to. This simple but smart approach helped us to land over 80 pieces of coverage in 15 different countries, on publications such as Yahoo, Travel+Leisure, TimeOut or MSN.
In a bid to promote Quintain’s pet-friendly apartments, we decided to look at how many renters across the UK had to hide their pets from their landlords. We commissioned a survey to find out a variety of statistics, including the most hidden species of pet, which cities are the worst for renters who own pets and, ultimately, how hiding a pet impacts someone’s mental health. We took the results and created a series of infographics to illustrate our findings, then used a regional and trade digital PR strategy to get coverage from publications.
Our project management software client, Scoro, tasked us with creating a Digital PR campaign to encourage companies to enquire about their time-saving software. To capitalise on the ongoing conversations in the news around working from home vs working from the office, we decided to create a campaign to find out just how much company time people were wasting while working from home. We ran a survey to see which industries were the biggest offenders when it came to watching Netflix while they should be sending emails and which cities were online shopping when they should have been on Zoom calls. We then worked with Scoro to illustrate the findings so they could be seeded out to relevant industry and regional publications.
