Case Study: How Canon Activated its Leafs Sponsorship with a VIP Contest

WILY helps some of the world’s most trusted brands develop contests to engage and drive consumers to retail. Recently, we helped Canon Canada activate their MLSE sponsorship using omnichannel marketing and a one-of-a-kind contest experience. The campaign leverages a combination of indirect and direct communication channels – websites, retailers, email, mobile, and more, for a unique chance to win VIP Leafs tickets and take home a Canon camera. Before getting into the case study, let’s first explore what omni-channel marketing is, and how brands can utilize it to acquire data and activate consumers.

It is increasingly difficult to know which channels, campaigns or variety of touch points result in a customer transaction. But knowing what exactly triggered a response enables marketers to assess whether or not their marketing efforts are getting the best results. Companies with omnichannel customer engagement strategies retain on average 89% of their customers. Today, we are living in a multi-channel/omni-channel world, where consumers are switching devices constantly (98% of Americans switch between devices in the same day). Therefore, it’s more important than ever to integrate your campaigns across a number of different channels.
