Creating Campaigns
that Convert
Advertising is EVERYWHERE. How do you get your
message to stand out?
Campaigns
THEN:
Make a cool creative, put a bunch of money
behind it, sit back, hope it works.
Think radio ads, billboards, etc.
Campaigns
NOW:
More channels, more data…more confusion?
Campaigns
While it may use multiple channels, an inbound
marketing campaign doesn’t have to be confusing.
Campaigns
Campaigns
Inbound marketing campaigns are
concentrated efforts that align all of your
marketing channels around a single
message and goal.
Inbound marketing campaigns start with an offer
(ebook, webinar) you can promote through
multiple channels (email, social).
Then you nurture those leads through your
marketing funnel.
Campaigns
Inbound marketing campaigns should always:
•start with the customer in mind
•use integrated tools to connect everything
•work in any situation
Campaigns
Campaigns should start with SMART goals.

are in place.

SMART Goals
Three questions to guide the content creation
process:
1. Is this offer valuable to my target audience?
2. Does this offer align with my business goals?
3. Is this offer targeted at the right person at the
right time?
Content
Content Mapping: the process in which you
decide what content is most appropriate for a
person to receive at a given time, based on the
buyer’s journey.

happens!

According to HubSpot Academy’s Content
Marketing Certification, you should spend 40% of
your time creating content and 60% distributing
and promoting your content!
Campaign launch
More than just a tweet!
•change your cover photo
•pin a tweet
•create a campaign hashtag
•create a story (instagram, facebook, snapchat)
•start a discussion in a LinkedIn or FB group
Social media
Don’t let your campaign hide on a landing page!
•add a CTA to your homepage (banner, featured
module)
•leverage pages within your site (slide-in CTAs
based on URL)
•add a CTA to your blog sidebar
Website
Blogging drives more traffic to your landing page
than any other tool.
Each time you blog, you give search engines one
more opportunity to find you + you get the
opportunity to rank for more keywords and grow
your reach.
Blog
•Write 3-5+ piece of blog content related to your
campaign.
•Create a CTA at the bottom of each blog post
that links to the offer
•Experiment with slide-in and anchor text CTAs
•Encourage social sharing of blog posts with
built-in social share buttons and tweetable
quotes.
Blog
Increase engagement with your current database,
and utilize its sharing power to generate new
leads.
•Email segments of your own database about the
content.
•Include “lazy tweets” to make it simple for
people to share with their networks.
•Leverage your network by reaching out + asking
to share.
Email
•Optimize your page for specific keywords/
keyword phrases. (URL, meta, title, alt-tags)
•Create a topic cluster with your campaign
landing page serving as the pillar page. 
•Optimize your landing page or promotional blog
posts for Google's featured snippet to increase
traction on SERPs.
Organic
Organic
Use paid ads to amplify the messages you’re
sharing on social.
•Facebook ads
•Instagram ads
•LinkedIn sponsored content
Paid
Facebook ads: Make your ads very targeted to ensure your
ad spend is most efficient. Use Facebook’s Lookalike
Audiences to promote content people similar to your fans.
Paid
Instagram Ads: In addition to an Instagram marketing
strategy, campaign ads on Instagram can be used to
complement your ongoing content posting schedule.
Paid
LinkedIn Sponsored Content: Sponsored Content can be
highly-targeted (industry, role) and used to help surface
relevant content for quality prospects (recommended for B2B
markets).
Paid
Don’t forget about the reach of your employees!
•Send employees a link to the landing page along
with ways they can share (email, social, etc).
•Create email and social messaging templates for
your sales teams or executives.
Internal promotion
There are tons of metrics you can report on (website visits,
conversions, leads per channel)—where do you begin?
Reporting
The key is to revisit your campaign goals. Start by zooming
in on the metrics tied directly to those goals.
Reporting
•Visits- the number of times users have reached your site
from an external source.
•Conversion rate of visits-to-contacts.
•Contacts- the number of new contacts generated, during
the given time frame.
•Conversion rate of contacts-to-customers.
•Customers- the number of customers whose first conversion
occurred during the given time frame.
Reporting
•Organic search- visits from search engines
•Referrals- visits from other websites
•Email marketing- visits from email campaigns
•Social media- visits from social media sites
•Paid social- visits from paid social ads campaigns
Reporting
•Paid search- visits from pay-per-click ads
•Direct traffic- visits from users directly typing in a URL
•Other campaigns- an additional source that can be used for
custom reporting with tracking URLs
•Offline Source- contacts and customers who originated
outside of your website
Reporting
Keep your campaigns focused and powerful.
And at the conclusion of your campaign, don’t forget to
report and reflect on the totality of your work to inform how
you might adapt the inbound framework to produce even
better results for your next campaign.
Campaigns
You did it!
Success!
