About the American Cancer Society Campaign
The American Cancer Society was looking for creative ways to leverage digital marketing channels to reach a larger audience and distribute information about cancer, treatment, and prevention to more consumers. Elite SEM’s Paid Search team was tasked with engaging a new audience untouched by prior campaigns and increase cancer awareness among people who are unlikely to have cancer risk factors top of mind.
Elite SEM deployed an innovative approach tied to weather forecasts to find an attentive audience segment, and ACS extended the reach of its message to distribute valuable information to help those living in areas with high UV indexes during summer months to reduce the risk for skin cancer.
Elite SEM’s campaign helped ACS to achieve a 49% impression share (vs. an 11% mission initiative average) and a 28% cheaper CPC than the mission initiative average.
