'90s Search Campaign

Yext decided to shed light on keyword search, the seemingly innocuous technology that sets businesses and their customers back decades. We launched the company’s largest ever global integrated marketing campaign including: a TV commercial, DOOH, print ads, social media, emails, landing pages, and a gamified microsite. Our goal was to frame keyword search as the outdated “enemy” and position Yext as the modern search solution, poised to help businesses keep their customers moving along their journey. We focused on reach, frequency, and engagement, and used a multimedia and multi-phased approach to find and connect with our target audience throughout the year. Role: Creative Director
