Four Seasons

Travelers pick Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts for more than a hotel room. It’s about peerless luxury experiences that fuel brand love at every turn, on every channel, from the moment trip planning begins.

Challenge

Four Seasons wanted to fuel brand love across every customer touch point, mirroring its luxury offerings across branded content and digital experiences.

Solution

Pace elevated the Four Seasons experience across the brand’s property websites, booking portals, email, video and social platforms, and through direct management of the award-winning Four Seasons Magazine.

Results

Four Seasons has seen booking rates triple for travel experiences Pace promoted through content. The brand also saw a 43% boost in organic bookings among travelers who read the magazine.

Bringing luxury travel into focus

Across our 16-year engagement with Four Seasons, we’ve led campaigns to promote numerous specialty travel experiences like the Four Seasons Private Jet. Seeing is believing for exclusive offerings like this one. So we created a storytelling package that brought the experience to life. 

We drove a surge in new bookings by sending an influential travel journalist and filmmaker to document what the Private Jet is like. We also created a dedicated campaign landing page, supporting video assets across web and social channels, and marketing emails to fuel consideration and increase direct bookings.

Verizon

How can a nationally recognized wireless provider like Verizon change consumer perception that it’s just another utility brand? By sharing stories that demonstrate how consumers can use the technology it provides to enhance family life.

Challenge

Verizon is globally recognized, but primarily as a wireless provider. The company wanted to shift consumer perception and engage audiences more authentically and organically to fuel growth.

Solution

To help position Verizon as a technology solutions leader, we developed a new content platform addressing parents’ pressing concerns about phone and internet use. Our work included a new content strategy, user experience and journey mapping, and ownable content (including influencer, paid social, organic social and website).

Results

Verizon saw a 10% surge in B2C sales influenced by the new content programs. In addition, the brand’s site engagement rates doubled, web traffic increased by 30% year over year and 33% of product page visitors downloaded gated content.

Inspiring trust and brand affinity by addressing technology questions

Verizon had the opportunity to demonstrate that it understands the critical role technology plays at home—and how that role changes with each life stage. With an omnichannel content strategy, we connected with consumers wherever they were to provide relevant content on topics important to parents.

Telling the stories parents want to read

Need to find the best VR headset for your teen? Want to learn how gaming can help build resilience in kids? Or interested in understanding the connection between screen time and sleep? You’ll find it all in Parenting in a Digital World, a resource we created to offer curated topic- and age-based content for parents.

  • Reinforced the omnichannel strategy by aligning paid and organic social campaigns with on-site promos
  • Used storytelling to build ownable moments that demonstrate how Verizon understands the concerns parents have about technology use at home
  • Strengthened a sense of affinity and community with a gated landing page and downloadable e-book

Meeting audiences where they are

We also identified strategic ways to connect with audiences outside the core program website. To this end, we launched and managed influencer programs, a push notification initiative and multiple digital wellness campaigns. We combined geotargeting with media placements across YouTube, Spotify, streaming TV, broadcast TV and radio to drive thousands of new visits to Verizon’s content.

Long-term loyalty

What started as a six-month project has expanded into a partnership spanning several years. Verizon’s content program has grown as well. To match that growth, we developed an entirely new site structure and experience.

AAA

Travel deals can attract AAA members and lead them to new destinations. But it takes great storytelling to make the journey unforgettable.

Challenge

AAA offers its members much more than just roadside assistance. The brand sought to reframe perceptions and become more of a travel thought leader, shifting members’ focus from travel information to travel inspiration.

Solution

Pace charted the course with a series of travel campaigns, an evolution into more digital channels, a plethora of new content and a story-focused paradigm at every stage of the member journey.

Results

Our work helped AAA social channels reach doubled engagement rates and drove a 4x increase in organic traffic to the website. It also earned an 81% uptick YOY in AAA members engaging with marketing emails and a 43% boost in ROAS for cross-sell efforts.

Fueling adventure through content

Planning the trip should be as fun as taking it. We helped AAA capture members’ hearts with inspirational stories, practical advice and specific itineraries to use. Then we followed with resources members could use to save on and enjoy their vacations. Our remit included:

  • Content strategy and development
  • Travel campaigns and local travel content
  • Print and digital magazines versioned for each member state
  • A social and video series that inspired members to plan new trips
  • Robust program analytics that aided in optimizing the content strategy

Turning email burnout into a breakout AAA experience

  • Taking over program execution and ongoing optimization
  • Leveraging member data to inform messaging and cadence for emails
  • Developing net new email templates built on best practices
