1.0 Introduction
SKYB is leading service satellite broadcasting company headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with
operations across the country. (appendix 1). The chosen slow selling service is a specific program
package called HDTV Full program package, including all program channels, at a reduced price for a
specific period of time.
2.0 Key stages of a digital communications campaign
Tim Ash et al (2012) concluded that a landing page is any webpage on which an internet
visitor first arrives on their way to an important action that you want the, to take on your
site. It can be part of your main website, designed to receive traffic from an online marketing
campaign.
For the Easter season a landing page (appendix 2) was conducted aiming at new customers to increase
online sale of HDTV Full package.
2.1 Objective setting
The campaign should be “SMART” (see figure 1) and in line with the broader organizational objectives,
with more clarity and accountability.
Corporate Vision - “be the best broadcast company in High Definition in the Brazilian market”
Business Objectives – “overcoming direct competition with 50% market share until 2014”
Marketing Objectives – “increase sales of packages by 30% until the end of 2013.”
Figure 1: S.M.A.R.T Diagram

Within this broader framework, SKYB needs to consider 4 steps in digital marketing plan:
Figure 2: APIC framework model
 A: CRM program such as Goldmine.
 P: activities are synchronized with the overall corporate vision;
 I: marketing and promotional mix;
 C: metrics to verify expectations of customers, strong/weak/vulnerable sales etc.
Identifying Measurements
Cost through rate - page view by the number of clicks received on a specific landing page link through
SKYB Fan Page (appendix 3).
E.g.: an ad that is displayed 1,000 times and receives 10 clicks has a click-through rate of 1 percent.
A campaign where payment is based on impressions, sold for £5 CPM with a CTR of 2%.
1000 impressions x 2% CTR = 20 click-throughs
£10 CPM / 20 click-throughs = £50 per click

2.3 Segmentation and targeting
 Relationship with the company and Life Cycle Stage
Prospects from TV service competitors and/or market - are not actual customers but could be converted
into one.
 Demographic
Age - from 25 to 64
Location – São Paulo
 Attitudinal
Early adopter (futuristic /HD profile), brand loyal and price conscious
 Value
Future Value
 Behavior
Search terms (e.g.: TV, Package, HD and related) and responsiveness to offers (historic purchase via
social media and search engines).
2.4 Offer and Message development
 Clear evidence of HD product (Free trial, what is HD, didactically product features,
competitor comparison);
 Sales stimulus (big pictures, visual highlights, hot colors and purchase button) ;
 Add value (impress others, gain pleasure, consider a famous person that represents the HD
concept/deluxe brand, such as Gisele Bundchen, supermodel).
2.5 Online Communication Mix Selection
In discussing social media Antony Mayfield (1995, p.07) state that: "A good way to think
about social media is that all of this is actually just about being human beings. Sharing
ideas, cooperating and collaborating to create art, thinking and commerce, vigorous
debate and discourse, finding people who might be good friends, allies and lovers."
SKYB believes that strategies on Facebook and Twitter (appendix 4) are vital to increasing the visibility of
promotion via landing page:
 Sponsored stories and adverts;
 Share word-of-mouth recommendations more effectively;
 Fan Page: increase the visibility of the promotion among fans that still do not have the service
and generate comments, likes and clicks about the offer via landing page.

3.0 Keyword research
According to Ann Smarty (2008), keyword research is the first thing to consider when
planning a website. You do it before thinking over the site architecture and creating the
content. Keyword research is what you do to estimate your competition and create a
promotion strategy.
Keywords are the elements that guide any optimization work at SKYB - whether on and off-page, so
becomes the most important activity related to SEO and internet marketing.
Tools used to perform key word research at SKYB include:
 Word Tracker - constant access to look up page data in high level of details about specific profile
niches, related topics and new posts ideas.
 Google Ad Words - filter most popular words usage for the “group buying”. Useful to use Google
trends so the company could see a more precise trend about the keywords, identifying
language, city, period of popularity and interest.
 Keyword Discovery - highly targeted PPC campaigns collecting data from over 180 search
engines, including Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Essential to identify trends of the market and
products that people want to buy in the world taking databases from eBay, Amazon, and other
shopping sites.
The keywords researched in regards to the offer - HDTV Full Pack will include “HD package”, “cheap
subscription”, “cheap TV”. “SKY TV”.
Knowing the product’s keyword demand allows SKYB to create highly effective PPC strategies, which will
increase traffic significantly.
4.0 Online PR activity for generating interest for new customers
Online PR activity is closely associated with improving results from many of the other
digital marketing communications techniques in particular social media, SEO (link-
building), partnership marketing and viral marketing / word-of-mouth marketing. Can be
a great, low-cost technique for making more people aware of the brand or website.
(Chaffey, 2009).
The online PR activities towards influencing media, communities and audiences that exist only on the
internet environment and include online press release, e-mail, SMS/MMS alert to interested parties,
placing a story on online news feed such as ‘presswire’ or ‘PRWeb’ , virtual press kit (VPK) , blogs and
discussion groups.

10
Blogs have burst onto the content scene because the tech-nology is such an efficient way
to get personal viewpoints out into the market. Most marketing and PR people know
about blogs, and many are monitoring what’s being said about their company, products,
and executives on this new medium. (Scott, David Meerman, 2007)
SKYB will promote and push sales of HDTV Full package through third party endorsement encouraging
bloggers to write about the new service on industry related blogs where audiences visit, such as
entertainment and technology blogs - an easy and less expensive compared to other PR activities in the
company.
Through its action SKYB can promote discussions and take opinions with customers and exchange ideas
on high definition technologies conducted by the company. The objective is to enhance their reputation
to generate publicity and create a positive image of the new service. Visitors’ comments and activities
will be collected and analyzed to decide what subjects attract the most interest and how people react to
them. The ‘share it’ button enables customers to share a post with their connections on Twitter and
Facebook providing a good measure of the success of a post (viral marketing).
Also, it is essential to make sure:
- That it is regularly updated with information related to HD and technology trends.
- In terms of the content, it should be well written and exclusive in order to motivate participants
to visit, click, comment and buy.
-
5.0 Microsites and landing pages
Microsite is a web page or a small group of pages which function as a separate entity within a main
website. SKYB considered an effective way to launch a promotion, highlight the services and drive to a
special product offer.
Microsite Definition PROS CONS
Sub-brand
marketing
For sub-brands (e.g.:
additional TV services, pay-
per-view and broadband)
while maintaining the
corporate website.
- Increase relevancy in
search engines;
- Keyword rich domain like
“promotion, sale, offer,
cheap, TV”;
- Appropriate categories in
TV-entertainment (Google
Places);
- Link building is time consuming.
- In case of multiple to link, bad SEO
and banned from search engines.
Link building
Third website such as social
media platforms such as
SKYB fan page to create link
building microsites.
- Quick access from
microsite to the official site;
- Higher conversation rate;
- Relevance to query.
- For social media accounts, takes time
and budge;
- Official site will advertised to a target
niche, otherwise the numbers of visits
could be low.

11
Landing Page is any webpage on which an internet visitor first arrives on their way to an
important action that you want them to take on your site. Can be part of the main website, or a
stand-alone page designed to receive traffic from an online marketing campaign. (Tim Ash et al,
2012).
The landing page plays a vital role in assisting a company from converting a prospect that has clicked on
a sponsored link through to becoming a customer that has purchased a service online.
Landing Page Definition PROS CONS
Main site
Is part of the website
integrated into structures
and consistent with
standard page and
navigation for the site.
E.g.: a blog article page,
organic search entry page
etc.
- Efficient in terms of effort
in content conception;
- Immediate production in
terms of brief, insights and
process.
- Problem in converting both direct
referrers and browsers navigate;
- Visitors could not be at the right
point in the buying cycle to convert.
Microsite
Is a small (single or multi)
pages as supplement to the
official page which is
specifically designed for a
marketing campaign or
single audience.
- Good to target a particular
niche, through Search
campaigns such as online PR,
SEO, PPC and Social Medial.
- Visitors may not be at the buying
cycle to convert.
- Not sufficient information for an
instant conversion.
Standalone
For a marketing campaign
with higher conversion
rates, such as Click
Through, Lead Capture
(Lead Gen or Squeeze
Page) and Viral. E.g.: SKYB
landing page to increase
sales of a specific service
(SKY HD Full package).
- More stripped than
traditional mode.
- Good for short-term
branding campaign;
- Higher conversion rates.
- More effort and maintenance;
- Performance impact of call to action:
many clicks, placement and sharing.
- If separate site with a separate
domain, affect search results in
Google.
6.0 How blogs and microsites have been used as part of the digital marketing mix

launches of specific TV packages (HDTV Full program pack) adopting sales appeal to attract more
customers and increase sales, while blogs are used to discuss latest offers, TV programs and contests.

TASK 2
BRIEFING PAPER
USING CAMPAIGN TOOLS

15
Guilherme Preihs Pinto, 05 / 05 /2013
INTRODUCTION
The briefing paper aims to launch the new SKYB service Cine SKY HD in a social media platform. The
service is a unique feature that offers movies, shows and other attractions for existing customers,
all in high definition (HD), which are stored on the HD equipment. (appendix 8)
As a part of the strategy, the report will explain the social media strategy applying different advertising
media approaches. These points explain the new trends of social media and how some changes could
challenge and complement the conventional forms of communication with customers.
SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY
Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based
applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and
that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.
SKYB aims to launch the new service CINE SKY HD conducting a social media campaign alone with a
traditional mass media campaign, considering the following main objectives:
 Increase number of online registration via official website by exisisting customers;
 At least doubling fan growth on SKYB Fan Page;
 Building and communicating a strong personality for the SKYB brand.
Social media has changed the way that SKYB communicate by becoming an integral part of marketing
and public relations strategies. The company has great popularity and digital recognition in social
networking, so the appropriate advertising media for this campaign is Facebook in order to connect with
customers. The company must consider the following plan:
 Daily content trying to reach and place an order by customers;
 Asking customers to vote on their top films with opinion polls;
 Use Ads and Sponsored stories with precise interests;
 Create mini explanatory videos referring to SKYB Youtube channel, an opportunity for user
generated content uploads to increase engagement and viral sharing;
 Using new promo feature to move Cine SKY HD messages higher in news feed.
SKYB and competitors uses the main methods below to drive and increase traffic in their website:
 Small investment for YouTube views - posting an institutional launch video about the service,
and then pay about one penny per view, engaging call to action.
 Twitter – to target users, groups, and topics that are interested in seasonal films and send
tweets that might respond.

SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS USED TO PROMOTE THE LAUNCH OF NEW MOBILE DEVICES
Samsung is a market leader in consumer industry since 1990 and has increasingly globalised their
activities investing in new technologies, particularly mobile phones.
Recently, to launch its latest Smartphone Galaxy S III, the company conducted a social media campaign
alone with a traditional mass media campaign, hosting more than 500 loyal customers in exclusive event
at Skylight Soho in New York City on 2012, including interactive tour, with areas such as the bar, lounge,
and photo-op station conceived to flaunt the phone's sharing, image-capture, and one-touch file-
transfer.
The campaign has generated interest from journalists, more traffic than expected through Facebook
Fanpage and over half of 500 visitors have clicked on ‘buy’ through Facebook Fanpage.
The following social media have been used for this campaign to identify guests:
Facebook – used to identify 250 loyal customers through a detailed study of potential active fan buyers,
to make induce them “like” the advert and then send the invitation for the event via social network and
e-mail. The company also used Facebook Ads and Sponsored Stories to grow their fan numbers and
connect with new fans, targeting the core demographic audience in New York (USA) based aged
between 25 and 35.
Twitter - exclusive content and unique tone to emotionally connect with the audience , including links,
pictures and videos. In addition, Samsung engaged in conversation with other Twitter users about the
event using @ replies and mentions. The identification of 200 guests was made through a deep analysis
on the campaign tags (twitter chats and product information), tweet timing and frequency in order to
tweeting a couple times to see how the audience reacts.
LinkedIn- the company has been able to target 50 professional and business guests. Through this social
media, a buzz has been created before the launch. This helped the company to increase brand
awareness.

TOOLS TO IDENTIFY EMERGING TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY
SKYB understands the importance of detecting in advance potential and existing customers, competitor
industries or particular topics related to television and specific programs in digital campaigns, such as
the launch of CINE SKY HD.
The free tool called Google Trends is essential to digging through Google’s search volume data and
organizing the information into historical context for future insights about Brazilian customer behavior,
and also allows for monitoring competitive intelligence. Another advantage is that it provides data
across various regions of Brazil.
Among the key strategies that the company considers:
 Analyze Crowd Behavior – people begin to searching for the term “CINE SKY HD” each year,
then search volume spikes when a big contest is announced (small spike), then searching dies
down a bit, followed by a huge peak at the end when the winner is announced.
 Keyword Research - how popular various keywords are, along with suggestions for similar
keywords in order to create SEO segmented content.

18
 Brand and Industry Monitoring – search for terms related to TV subscription industry and
competitors, comparing SKYB and NET.
Limitations
- Minimum traffic requirement to be featured on the web site.
- The visit data may not be as accurate.
- Lack of accurate idea of how much traffic the website is receiving.
Brad Geddes (2012) note that Google Adwords is revolutionary because it rewarded
relevance as much as the maximum cost per click, making it great fit for those who took
the time to create more targeted ads.
Thus, the Google Adwords allows SKYB to for place specific adverts in front of customers searching CINE
SKY HD based in a pay-per-click model, so the company will be charged only when a user clicks the ad.
Although SKYB's budget is flexible, the main priority is narrow the campaign and be as targeted as
possible in order to limit how many potential customers could see the ad, and how many can eventually
make a purchase.
 Google Search and Keyword Selection
The branded keywords include the company name, and brand plus the service we offer (e.g.: CINE SKY
HD). Branded keywords are low cost per click (CPC) and drive the highest conversion rates. Thus,
keywords such as “CINE” and “SKY” are generic head terms, as there are many types of “Skies”
companies or terms in many different locations in Brazil.

19
 Competitive Research
The purpose is identify companies bidding keywords such as TV, entertainment, benefits etc and check
competitors who consistently is ranking at or near the top of the rankings such as NET, TVA and
Telefonica, using a spy tool called iSpionage.
Limitations
 Every click to the website is a charge, even if the visitor makes a purchase or not. Is important to
monitor the amount of visits and put deadline for expiration.
 No competitor data comparison is shared by Google Adwords, who does not disclose the
performance of other companies that may have the same service.
 Cope Space for is 70 characters only so the words need to be chosen carefully.
SALES PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITY
CINE SKY HD is a service available to subscribers, which customers can buy and stores movies in their
own HD equipment. For the launch, the company conducted a sales promotional campaign mainly using
incentives.
Initially, after the subscription a bonus of £20 (R$60, 00) is automatically credited to the customer
account via company website to spend in other services. Potential 1.000 customers will be invited (by
using different online and offline media, such as Facebook, e-mail mkt and leaflets) to make a free trial
for 3 month of the service. The member who reaches more than 6 months in active contract will receive
e-vouches of 10%-15% discounts to make package upgrades. The campaign also included a publication
via Facebook of a promotional video explaining the benefits and advantages of the service.
The objective of this sales promotion method was to drive traffic and to increase purchase and
successfully allowed users to store a large quantity of films.

20
GUIDANCE GIVEN BY THE LAW
The Data Protection Act 1998 is a United Kingdom Act of Parliament which defines UK
law and was passed to control the way information is handled and to give legal rights to
people who have information stored about them. (Leglislation.gov.uk, 2012)
The law provides 8 data protection principles (Appendix 7).
SKYB operates under Data Protection Act which stating that when handling, collecting, processing or
storing personal data, it is equally important NOT to:
a) access personal data that you do not need for your work
b) use the data for any purpose it was not explicitly obtained for
c) keep data that would embarrass or damage if disclosed (e.g.: via a subject access request – see below)
d) transfer personal data outside of the European Economic Area unless you are certain you are entitled
to or consent from the individual concerned has been obtained.
e) store/process/handle sensitive personal data unless are certain you are entitled to or consent from
the individual concerned has been obtained.
Moreover, SKYB should get costumers consents when sending them invitations to subscriptions on
website via social media and newsletters for promotional activities. As SKYB uses their personal data,
the company has to send e-mail for the information required by customers, and after the campaign not
share their details with third parties.
This would be adhered to by making all digital communications clearly identifiable as an integral part of
SKYB. When offering benefits such as discounts, SKYB would ensure it is clearly put an expiration date
and that any qualifying rule are simply accessible, clearly presented and explicit, in order to avoid being
confusing or misleading.
CONCLUSION
SKYB has to strongly consider the opportunity to run up a consistent digital marketing campaign
including the strategic use of social medial strategies, tools to identify trends, social media channels etc.
in order to increase sales and brand awareness. Therefore , it is necessary to take into consideration the
real needs of the audiences and direct efforts to promote segemented plans , according to different
profiles and desires.

TASK 3
PRESENTATION
USING CAMPAIGN TOOLS

22
Hello and welcome to this presentation. Here we will look at the importance of measuring the outcomes
of our digital marketing campaign.
SKYB is a TV subscription organization that provides broadcast services. By aiming to generate exposure
of their new service and engage sales around Brazil, the company developed a digital marketing
campaign using social media and PR and online methods.

23
The campaign consisted in a landing page of the product and a contest using Facebook (fanpage), which
created a buzz and a growth in fans as a result. The first 500 submissions via landing page were
rewarded with free subscriptions. The second aspect featured was a viral video posted to familiarize
people with the new service, consisting on benefits in being a CINE SKY HD customer.
@SKYB also worked with Twitter’s content team to develop interactive experiences that allowed
viewers to engage with and actually influence the service request.
To create buzz, SKYB released a Promoted Tweet announcing an exclusive contest of the new CINE SKY
HD service.
In order to measure and monitor a campaign it is important to have a plan to follow:
- Define objectives
- Monitor activities using different monitoring tools such as web analytics
- Measure the effectiveness by considering objectives and results
- Adapt where necessary

24
A conversion funnel in Google Analytics is a designated course of steps visitors follow on a website
which leads towards conversion. Is usually monitored in order to be aware of and optimize the method
in which visitors engage with the site.
In this case a conversion for SKYB e-commerce website is the sale of CINE SKY HD. A conversion for a
service-oriented site is the registration and payment of a visitor for its service etc. Also, was possible to
measure click-through rates, conversation rates, and calculated URL clicks through different kind of
sources, such as Facebook, Twitter and search engines.
The stages below show the conversion funnel:
1 – Arrive on home page through Facebook – Twitter: 100%
2 – Select category page – 69%
3 – Select CINE SKY HD product – 56%
4 – Register data – 48%
5 – Complete payment details – 47%

25
Recently SKYB has conducted an online promotional campaign via Facebook using viral video campaigns,
which were costly to develop so it is crucial that SKYB measure the Return on Marketing Investment
(ROMI). Google Analytics was also used to track conversion rates and it is free and easy tool that can be
used for measuring and evaluating most of digital campaigns.
Also using Google Analytics the company gathered in-house website statistics to get valuable insights in
tracking sales and where the visitors come from and if they engage with the content or leave
immediately.
Here are some key facts:
- Visits: during a given time period.
- Pageviews: pages these visitors viewed.
- Pages/Visit: in terms of page views.
- Bounce Rate: who only visited one page on the website before they “bounced” somewhere
else.
- Avg. Time on Site: amount of time a visitor spends.
- % of New Visits: The percentage of new visitors to the site as compared to all visitors.
Pros: track multiple sites (official and video), useful reporting tool and provide site wide page view
analysis and conversion funnel analysis to identify user’s paths.
Cons: limited modification, analysis mainly provides percentages (not real values), offline sales and
internal data cannot be incorporated in the tool and limited tracking (keyword, engine, ad group, and

the levels of interaction with the brand after the launch of the new service.
Engagement and virality - See which types of posts are most effective at keeping your fans engaged, as
well as sharing the posts with their friends to monitor the interest for CINE SKY HD.

talking about the new service, reviews and all sorts of wall posts including the video post.

page, stream and search and list of recent posts with impression figures and feedback percentages.

When measuring the marketing productivity of the recent online PR campaign, the company mainly
considers the following aspects:
- Measure marketing productivity: customer (adverts, sponsorships etc.), market communication
and brand impact (awareness, loyalty and purchase).
- Examine return on marketing investment (ROMI): through Google Analytics is possible to check
the difference between the overall cost of a marketing plan and the profit the plan generated.,
dividing the gross revenue per item to conversion cost.
- Evaluate customer satisfaction and involvement: loyalty measurement, intention to purchase
other services, attribute satisfaction (quality, benefits and experience)
-
From initial launch of the online marketing campaign, the ROMI could run successfully and the ongoing
tweaks and refinement works to improve it.
The company also verifies the number of unique visitors. As the reach expands then so should traffic to
website. Some content should be appearing around the web on various different sites and forums so an
increase in external links to the site could be one indicator that the reach is expanding.
Also, the traffic from related keywords, audience and followers across social medias is important to
measure the effectiveness of a brand campaign.

28
The followings are suggestions given for improving user experience and conversion through the online
campaign:
Friendly landing page: each new visitor can easily get to know about CINE SKY HD and their features
through a friendly interface. A clear top menu with the main highlights of the service is a useful tool to
help new users to navigate the page without getting lost.
Engaging registration: a promotional landing page would be a very good way to lead visitors to click, get
to know about the new service available and make the purchase.
Detailed and clear service details: due to the wide range of services available on the official SKYB
website it is really important that it is easy to find details of the new service and easy for visitors to
register.
Quick load time and navigation: create an intuitive landing page where people don’t get lost, so it is
essential to turn off the auto-play the exclusive YouTube video, resize large images and files, eliminate
plug-in or flash files which weigh down performance.
Special promotion: posted via Facebook and Twitter free codes to encourage the trial for the first
registered customers , increasing the general index of visits of the landing page.
Easy registration and different payment options: a quick and intuitive interface for a registration with
alternatives to the usual payment methods, such as Pay Pal or invoice.

29

making better business decisions in achieving campaign goals. The Google Analytics and YouTube
analytics dashboard assists in analyzing the success of the campaign by providing:
Overview - Summary of video views, popularity by region, overall channel performance, engagement
and details on how people view the videos.
Detailed report – gives a more precise understanding about the audience and how well the content
performs.
