Campaign Overview

Coldwater planned and executed a multi-faceted campaign to generate awareness of FUNBOX Vancouver's debut in Canada and build FUNBOX's reputation in BC. The two objectives supported the Vancouver franchise’s goals of generating ticket sales and market share in Canada. Funbox headquarters is located in California, and franchise locations are found throughout the United States and in Spain.

Approach

Coldwater’s strategy to achieve the objectives was to leverage a mix of earned, paid, and shared media. Parents were the primary target audience. The secondary audiences included businesses in the community, partners, and government. The messaging highlighted FUNBOX as a fun, unique, accessible, and safe outdoor family activity new to Canada. 

Key tactics included:

  • Earned Media 
  • Paid Media, including Online Advertising, Sponsored Article, and Partnership Media
  • Media and Influencer Event
  • Influencer Outreach through complimentary visits, giveaways, and discount codes
  • Community Engagement and Partnerships with local businesses, stakeholders, and a local non-profit organization.

Results

  • 16 pieces of earned media, including a televised interview segment on CTV Morning Live.
  • Delivered an estimated media value of $344,706 through social media influencer outreach and VIP media event, which generated organic Instagram Stories, posts, comments, saves, and shares.
  • Attained social media reach of 205,2051.
  • Generated over $250,000 in online sales attributed to the online advertising campaign and delivered a return on advertising spend (ROAS) of $5.2 to $1.

Impact

Coldwater’s campaign helped Funbox Vancouver become the top-visited franchise page on the Funbox website. The search term “Funbox Vancouver” became one of the top drivers of website visits for Funbox.com during the campaign period, indicating that awareness and interest was generated. The campaign raised brand awareness and drove strong ticket sales for the Vancouver location.
