Driving sign-ups for my Social Security online accounts
By going online to SocialSecurity.gov, adults at any stage of life can estimate and manage Social Security or disability benefits, plan and apply for retirement, and check their earnings history. To better educate the public about these services and spur new online sign-ups, Crosby developed integrated campaigns that successfully combined paid, earned, owned, and shared media.
Focus group research confirmed that a normative appeal would be most motivating in moving audiences from office visits to online engagement. To drive sign-ups for my Social Security online accounts, we focused on the insight that everyone has a personal “Someday” they dream of. The campaign brings these moments to life while reminding that getting to your “Someday” takes planning today.
introducing a new day of the week
For the my Social Security campaign, light-hearted PSAs take viewers to the fictional Institute of Time Management and Procrastination where a new day of the week, called “Someday,” has been invented.
raising awareness nationwide with out-of-home
At minimal cost to SSA, PSA outdoor billboards, bus shelters, and metro transit centers raised awareness in 41 markets across the country.
driving leads through paid search
We captured intent and interest by using Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to turn active seekers into sign-ups. Hyper-targeted text, video, and image ads appeared across networks at the right time based on demographic, geographic, contextual, and behavioral targeting and conversion optimizer technology improved performance.
reaching specific targets with online & social
We effectively targeted and informed each audience with Facebook posts and ads, emails, online display, pre-roll videos, and SEM.
a radio media tour delivers the details
Radio interviews in major markets across the country delivered the benefits of a my Social Security account in greater detail.
