BACKGROUND
Randstad is a Dutch multinational human resource consulting firm headquartered in Diemen, Netherlands.
The firm have always had bags of authority in the recruitment sector. Globally, they’re one of the biggest and most respected brands in the recruitment sphere.
CHALLENGE
In the UK Randstad’s authority and sector knowledge (consistently demonstrated through PR) wasn’t translating into domain authority, aka performance in the SERPs.
For us, the reason was simple enough: by running its PR and digital marketing activities in silos, rather than aligned, Randstad was limiting its ability to rank high. Its PR and digital marketing activities simply weren’t joined up.
OUR APPROACH
“We launched a Women in Work campaign to coincide with International Women’s Day, to drive brand awareness and SEO benefits to Randstad.co.uk.”
OUR SURVEY
Our PR, content and SEO experts worked together to create a survey on men and women’s contrasting attitudes to asking for a payrise.
OUTREACH
We polled 2000 people from multiple sectors and geographies to generate maximum media impact over a 4-month period through a strategic schedule of press releases and op-eds across Tier 1 media.
LANDING PAGES
Crucially, we created multiple landing pages on Randstad.co.uk including blogs, sector-specific reports and infographics to attract backlinks from major media outlets — and boost domain authority.
RESULTS
The numbers speak for themselves:
When it came to analysing the campaign results, we had no doubt that we had smashed our given targets.
