a brief to develop and manage the full digital strategy for their brand.
Butchers
The Project
Butchers Petcare are one of Europe’s biggest suppliers of pet food with a turnover of over £100m.
Butcher’s approached The Zen Agency with a brief to develop and manage the full digital strategy for their brand. The strategy had to work alongside the ATL campaigns which were currently in development.
The key focus was to drive traffic to the website, increase online engagement and increase brand awareness.
At the beginning of the project we turned out attention to SEO. We ensured the website was fully optimised for search engines and was targeting key phrases which were both relevant and would ultimately drive traffic to the site.
From our competitor analysis it was clear that one area which Butcher’s was way behind their competitors was Social Media. Many of their main competitors had fantastic social followings and had a lot of engagement with users through these channels.
We decided to develop a content plan that would allow us to create engaging and informative content to amplify the brand message that Butcher’s wanted to portray. The content was to be focused around 3 key brand messages which were “Fit for life” “Full of fun” and “Natural Nutrition” and it aimed to provide help and advice that educates pet owners.Following our research and analysis we decided to focus our efforts on the following channels: Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Youtube. Each social channel was to be branded in accordance with brand guidelines to give a similar look and feel to the website.

We successfully managed to take company that had never used online marketing or social marketing the forefront inn their industry.
