The Challenge CSGS approached empower in early 2019 to help them with their digital marketing strategy. The project included content creation, social media and email marketing. The project objectives were: Establish a digital marketing strategy to increase both the quantity and quality of engagement with CSGS programmes, including its blog, podcast programme and public lecture series Increase CSGS’ online presence & establish its image as the leading centre for research on governance dilemmas around the world Create a measurement framework to ensure the digital marketing strategy is delivering positive ROI The Approach Empower initially completed an audit of CSGS’ existing online presence and created a digital marketing strategy, focussing on the optimisation of present digital marketing efforts and the development of measurable tactics. From this insight, practical recommendations were implemented. This included the optimisation of existing content for SEO purposes, the establishment of a content creation process, the development of an online newsletter template, the design of creative branding and the creation of digital assets including videos. Empower also improved the use of existing social media channels, and set up a brand new Instagram channel to generate traffic to CSGS’ website and programmes, engaging industry influencers and other target audiences, such as journalists and academics, to become aware of and engage with CSGS’ programmes.
