Brand Voice Case Study: Helping a business find its unique position and taking a thought leadership campaign to market for Olympic swimmer Becky Adlington.

SEO / DIGITAL PR Case Study: Gaining top spot in Google to make corks pop for Pink Prosecco

Pink Prosecco was a new brand with zero awareness.

Governed by Italian winemaker’s rules, it had to launch its rose Prosecco simultaneously against all the major supermarkets and other wine producers – all of whom had larger marketing budgets.

Our primary objective was to gain competitive advantage by landing the coveted number one organic Google spot for the term ‘pink Prosecco’ ahead of everyone’s sales going live.

We came up with a creative way to secure quality links back to the site BEFORE the product was even on sale, delivering stand out coverage across national press.

Most importantly, we delivered against the business goal with the company ranking #1 on Google for the search term ‘Pink Prosecco’. Read the full digital PR case study.
