The Fun and Playfulness of CBeebies

Upon assessing their content portfolio, the BBC identified an opportunity to resonate with the Hispanic and Latin American audience by tapping into the profound significance of “family” in Latino culture.

The Challenge

By 2010, it was no secret that the Hispanic population played a crucial role in fueling the growth of the US economy. With a staggering 48 million people, their numbers had tripled compared to the General Market, making them a significant force. In fact, their collective economic power ranked them as the ninth-largest economy in the world.

What further set the Hispanic community apart was their larger average household size, standing at 3.8 individuals compared to the General Market’s 3.2. This nearly 20% difference underlined their strong sense of family and community.

Not only were Hispanics actively engaged online, with a commendable 54% Internet penetration rate, but they also showcased a greater propensity for downloading digital content. Moreover, their usage of social networking sites surpassed that of the General Market by an impressive 45%.

Understanding and tapping into this dynamic demographic became crucial for businesses and marketers seeking success in this evolving landscape. So how could Royer help?

The Solution

In a mutually-beneficial collaboration, the BBC joined forces with Dish Network in Mexico to bolster online sign-ups for the cable provider’s introduction of the BBC’s children’s channel.

To achieve the desired sign-up numbers, our team at Royer worked closely with the BBC to help create a captivating digital experience that not only established strong branding but also enticed users to try out the channel. Royer packed engaging kid-friendly online games, puzzles and downloads into a playful microsite brimming with entertaining videos and intriguing animated banners. This immersive experience helped lead audiences to convert, translating into increased channel sign-ups.

The Result

The campaign’s outcome was nothing short of remarkable, garnering over 100,000 page views and 60,000 conversion visits. As a result of this collaboration, the Return On Advertising Spend (ROAS) reached an exceptional 3:1 ratio, marking a resounding success for all involved.

BBC Entertainment

Through an innovative marketing approach encompassing strategic signage, a joint-tradeshow booth, and monumental building murals, the BBC strategically captured the attention of millions in Mexico City, making a lasting impact on the audience.

Launching BBC Entertainment in Mexico City came with its set of challenges. The channel had to compete in a highly competitive entertainment landscape and distinguish itself as a top choice for adult viewers seeking gripping dramas and action-packed content. Establishing brand recognition and expanding the viewer base were pivotal goals for the BBC.

The Strategy

The BBC strategically deployed a combination of indoor and outdoor signage techniques throughout Mexico City’s bustling commerce centers, including shopping malls and busy street corners, with the primary goal of building awareness and softening up the audience. These captivating signage displays featured eye-catching visuals, bold slogans, and snippets of the channel’s most captivating content, effectively drawing the attention of passersby and generating intrigue among potential viewers.

Furthermore, the awe-inspiring 10-story building murals were strategically placed to create an unmissable spectacle that left a lasting impression on the urban landscape and the minds of the city’s inhabitants, contributing to the overall awareness-building effort.

The signage techniques and monumental murals served as precursors, preparing the audience for the conversion tactics that would follow via a heavy online banner and retargeting campaign. This well-thought-out online campaign targeted the audience most likely to be interested in BBC Entertainment’s content, guiding interested individuals towards becoming dedicated viewers of the channel. The combination of offline and online efforts worked seamlessly to captivate the audience, build brand awareness, and ultimately drive successful conversions.
