Challenge:

In the fast-evolving business landscape, Workday sought to establish itself as a pivotal resource for businesses undergoing transformation. The challenge was to communicate the value of Workday’s software in enhancing organizational agility and innovation in a competitive market dominated by established enterprise software providers.  

Solution:

The campaign strategy for Workday featured a mix of digital and print media aimed at engaging senior business leaders and decision-makers. It included 12 editorials on key topics like economic trends, HR innovations, and finance automation, with half appearing in national print alongside brand ads. Additionally, there were two phases of digital sponsored content and paid posts focused on technology insights for improving business. A brand lift study was also conducted during key business periods to maximize visibility and measure the impact of the campaign. This streamlined approach was designed to effectively reach and engage the target audience.

Results:

  • The campaign successfully reached the primary decision makers by over-indexing against business leaders, talent professionals and STEM leaders.  

  • Content engagement measured by quality time spent out-performed benchmarks in the category. Significantly increasing Workday’s visibility and consideration among CFOs and HR executives in Canada.  

  • Preliminary feedback indicated a stronger association of Workday with innovation and leadership in enterprise software solutions.
