A collaborative community for a new generation of parents
Strategy
Using our platform, we made this idea a reality, launching a collaborative content community for TODAY where on-air talent, experts, friends, and family could look to those around them to share experiences and advice. Our platform powers the entire experience, making it easy for contributors to submit content on the front-end, while TODAY editors launch new prompts on the back-end, managing hundreds of submissions from thousands of contributors, all while keeping a close eye on quality.
Results
TODAY Parenting Team was an immediate success, as the community generated over seven million pageviews in its first two months, with over 84% of traffic coming from social media and a single post by top contributor Jen Hatmaker receiving millions of shares and views.
Awards
In a completely “on message” partnership, Johnson’s sponsored the Parenting Team launch. The sponsorship was so effective, it was even recognized with a Diamond BrilliAAnce Award for excellence in strategic, innovative, integrated, and impactful advertising.
