Goals and challenges

Pelican Products had been managing media buying in-house but needed a more strategic approach for all of the markets it served.

CMS’ strategy

To accomplish Pelican Products’ goals, Capitol Media Solutions:

  • Utilized comScore and SRDS data to narrow target audiences by function (HR, facility manager, etc.) and developed tactics for each.
  • Renegotiated for better placements to increase audience response.
  • Drove 20-30% higher conversion rates in digital. CMS kept the same budget but used more engaging ad units, such as synched ads and homepage takeovers.
  • Leveraged ad placements to secure 30% discount on conference exhibit and sponsorship opportunities.

Results

Capitol Media Solutions achieved more effective media buys with its targeted and strategic approach. In digital, the agency decreased cost-per-click for Pelican Products by 23% year-over-year.
