The Challenge

When Covid-19 hit, business was anything but usual — especially for small businesses. In order to support its small business customers, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) wanted to ramp up its business content strategy and content amplification initiatives.

The Content

A cross-functional team including representatives from marketing, PR, field operations and more, developed and refined the buyer-focused content strategy based on new trends and developments. RBC embraced a multitude of formats, including articles, podcasts, videos and interactive tools in order to maximize reach and engagement, and ensure buyers were receiving the most timely and helpful resources. Backed by a combination of organic and paid distribution, RBC was able to quickly double down on their best-performing content.

The Scoreboard
