The Influence Award 2023 Winners
Influencer Marketing | 6 min read
This past May, we partnered with Universal Music to drive awareness and build anticipation for the release of Canadian Rapper Classified‘s brand new single, “She Ain’t Gotta Do Much” through Influencer Marketing.
The Creative Approach
We sourced 10 Canadian professional Hip-Hop dancers, whose large audiences are comprised of music lovers, to produce and film storyline choreography to play off the lyrics of “She Ain’t Gotta Do Much”.
All videos were professionally recorded and edited to ensure the output was polished, consistent, and unified.
Telling The Story
Before the launch of the full video, each dancer told their story with unique choreography to the single and published it to their social feeds. The dancers then all followed in the routine through a common chorus choreographed and directed by Tatiana Parker that unified the video content, in an integration that would appear organic and seamless.
This successfully created buzz and awareness about the new single.
The Final Video
Finally, we produced a collabo video which stitched together scenes from each dancers’ videos into one fluid music video.
The Results
The social syndication of content across social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube amounted to over 100,500 video views on YouTube and over 13,000 engagements to date.
Moreover, the campaign resulted in 100% positive brand sentiment, which means the audiences of all creators involved were excited and enthusiastic about the content they were producing and sharing.
The unique way in which anticipation, buzz, and awareness was created around Classified’s new single, “She Aint Gotta Do Much” with the help of these talented dance influencers provided our client with results that far exceeded their expectations.
Influencer Marketing can be one of the most impactful strategies to get your brand’s message across when backed by a creative, and out-of-the-box treatment – and this was by far one of our most memorable and exciting projects to work on!

Are you aiming to increase web traffic or grow your social media presence? Figure out why you’re leveraging paid media in the first place and build your strategy from there. Having clearly defined goals in mind will help you focus on your brand’s key priorities.
Designing strategies that cater to all three stages of the buyer journey ensures that you’re maximizing your brand’s reach. Every user at every stage is valuable—and you have to make sure you’re creating paid media content that speaks to each audience type.
Effective paid media is tied to targeting the right keywords. If you’re leveraging paid search ads to appear on SERPs (search engine results pages), then in-depth research is necessary. Bid on the keywords that are most relevant to your business to trigger only the most effective ad appearances.
Gather your team—because it’s time to start coming up with ad copy that wins attention. The key is to resonate with your audience and inspire engagement. Be real. Be relatable. And most importantly, don’t underestimate the power of creativity.
Do the landing pages on your website effectively push visitors further down the sales funnel? If not, you’re letting potential customers slip through your fingers. Optimize each of your landing pages so that they nudge users towards converting.
The options are plenty when it comes to paid advertising, including Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest among others. Analyze who your target demographic is, research where it’s best to connect with them, and then target the platforms where you wish to build awareness.
If you’re ready to build your paid media ad campaign, you’ll find that it will be further broken down into “ad groups” to ensure more effective pay-per-click advertising. These ad groups house one or more ads that have similar targets or categories. Let’s say your brand’s website features categories such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Creating ad groups according to keywords that fall under these categories will help the PPC system decide when to show ads for these products.
Retargeting ads are bound to succeed because it’s a second shot at a conversion. Visitors have shown interest in the product/service once before, and sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to push them to the checkout page. So don’t forget to retarget and aim better this time.
In the world of paid media, what works and what doesn’t? You’ll have to run A/B tests to find out! Whether you’re testing which keywords bring more traffic or which social platforms earn more ad engagement, you won’t find out what really works for your brand until you test it.
Revisit your initial goals. Did your efforts bring about the results you expected? Tracking results is an essential step in your brand’s paid advertising campaigns. The data you collect from currently running ads will help lay the foundation for your future campaigns.
After tracking your results, you’ll be able to see where adjustments are necessary. There’s always room for improvement, so keep striving to consistently resonate and build trust with your audience—it’s how to create paid ads that pay off.
