Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation

The Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation owns the major, local sports teams in Calgary, including the Flames, Stampeders, Hitmen and Roughnecks, along with the CGY Team Store.

Project Overview

CSEC was looking for a digital partner that could provide clear and transparent results along with granular data that could be tracked. They also wanted the ability to try new digital platforms (such as connected TVs, digital radio, etc) that their partners didn’t have access to.

Challenges

Each of CSEC’s brands, including the Flames, Stampeders, Hitmen, Roughnecks, have different voices, different messages and different audiences that need to be targeted. While sales targets vary from team to team, CSEC wanted a clear understanding of ROAS for each of their assets
  • Multiple brands with multiple target markets and diverse messaging
  • Heavy emphasis on tracking to learn what messaging/creative was pushing sales
  • Granular tracking through Ticketmaster
  • Wanted to explore diverse mediums, like smart TVS, for their advertising

While CSEC had multiple partnerships in place when they approached us, none of them had the ability to pursue diverse digital platforms or track and collate the data they required.

Our Strategy

We began by meeting with their in-house team to plan the media rollout, including calendars for delivery and mapped out the best digital products for each initiative. Then, provided robust data tracking so we could offer a clear view of the customer journey.

We've been working with John and Dave at In Front for quite some time now. What sets them apart is the level of data they use in their marketing campaigns, and the reports they give at the end. We haven't come across another agency that goes as "in depth" as they do, and for that reason we wouldn't be comfortable recommending anyone other than In Front for digital marketing.
