Pacific Northwest Ballet had a goal beyond driving ticket sales to their annual performance of “The Nutcracker.” They aimed to highlight the importance of the arts and the power of dance and music to tell a story. Ultimately, they wanted to engage an educated audience to encourage a tradition of ballet attendance.
The Seattle Times Media Solutions created a plan to meet these goals. It primarily focused on sponsored content articles, layered in with videos and images. These were supported by behaviorally targeted display banners on seattletimes.com, Facebook advertising and print ads in The Seattle Times newspaper.
Results: The Ballet’s branded content articles received 11,280 total reads, nearly 400% over goal, with a per-article average read time of 3:11 minutes. In addition, banner and social ads drove nearly 3 million impressions and more than 16,000 website clicks. The campaign exceeded all expectations for awareness and engagement.
