Client: Wise Town Cafe, Ottawa, ON
Position: Digital Marketing Specialist

Problem:
Wise Town Cafe, a popular local coffee shop, was facing stiff competition in Ottawa’s bustling cafe scene. Despite offering quality beverages and a cozy atmosphere, the cafe struggled to stand out and attract a consistent flow of customers. Their online presence was lacking, with minimal social media engagement and limited visibility in search engine results.

Solution:
As the Digital Marketing Specialist at Wise Town Cafe, I devised a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to enhance the cafe’s online presence and drive customer engagement. Leveraging my expertise in social media management, SEO, and content creation, I implemented the following tactics:

  1. Social Media Overhaul: I revamped Wise Town Cafe’s social media profiles, curating visually appealing content and engaging captions to resonate with the target audience. Through strategic posting and community engagement, we aimed to foster a sense of community and loyalty among followers.
  2. SEO Optimization: I conducted thorough keyword research and optimized the cafe’s website content to improve its search engine rankings. By targeting relevant keywords and optimizing meta tags, we aimed to increase organic traffic and visibility in local search results.
  3. Content Creation: I developed a content calendar featuring a mix of promotional offers, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and user-generated content. This diverse content strategy aimed to keep followers engaged and interested in Wise Town Cafe’s offerings.
  4. Local Partnerships: I forged partnerships with local influencers and businesses to expand Wise Town Cafe’s reach and attract new customers. Collaborative promotions and events helped increase brand awareness and drive foot traffic to the cafe.

Outcome:
Through strategic digital marketing efforts, Wise Town Cafe experienced a significant increase in brand engagement and foot traffic. Within six months of implementing the new strategy:

  • Social media engagement increased by 50%, with a 30% growth in follower count.
  • Organic search traffic to the cafe’s website rose by 40%, resulting in higher online visibility.
  • Sales revenue saw a notable uptick, with a 25% increase in daily transactions.

The revitalized online presence and enhanced brand engagement solidified Wise Town Cafe’s position as a beloved local hangout and contributed to sustainable growth in customer loyalty and revenue.

  4. Strategic Communication Plan: I developed a strategic communication plan outlining key messaging, target audiences, and communication channels to effectively convey the OCCSC’s mission, programs, and success stories to the community and stakeholders.

The strategic brand positioning initiative implemented by the OCCSC resulted in tangible improvements in brand recognition, engagement, and community support:

  • Brand recognition and awareness increased by 15% among target demographics, as measured by pre- and post-campaign surveys.
  • Donor contributions and community support for the OCCSC’s programs and initiatives surged, resulting in a 20% increase in fundraising revenue.
