Award success for Irish Greyhound Board Marketing Team at the CIM Marketing Excellence Awards 2015  

CIM Awards

The Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) with digital agency, Engage, scooped a coveted CIM Ireland Marketing Excellence Awards in Belfast on Thursday November 12th 2015. The award recognised the success of the Irish Greyhound Board’s 2015 Digital Marketing Summer Campaign.

The IGB beat off stiff competition in the Hotels, Leisure, Events, Travel and Tourism Category, which also shortlisted the work of Derry and Strabane District Council, Lough Neagh Partnership and ASG / Belfast Bikes. Orla Strumble, Head of Marketing, and Colin Walsh, Director of Commercial Operations, collected the award on behalf of the IGB.

The IGB’s Summer Campaign targeted people looking to enjoy long summer nights and families looking for activities to entertain children; and focused on two key messages ‘Summer Nights at the Dogs are full of fun’ and ‘Bring the Pups to the Dogs’. Working with Engage, the summer campaign ran from the end of May through to 31st August, across website, paid search and banner advertising, social media optimisation, Facebook advertising, email marketing and partner promotions.

The campaign delivered impressive results figures, including:
• 232% increase in website traffic in June, July & August 2015
• Online bookings increase of 95% vs. summer of 2014
• Delivered a 56% increase in revenue vs. summer of 2014
