JCDecaux launches support messages for Covid-19 frontline workers & mental health awareness

JCDecaux in Australia has launched a campaign across its network to thank essential workers who are supporting Covid-19, as well as campaigns supporting local business and building awareness of mental health issues.

The out-of-home (OOH) media specialist used its own in-house creative team to launch a series of ads that thank the key workers, such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, teachers, aged care workers, childcare workers, farmers, supermarket and warehouse workers in Australia.

JCDecaux ANZ CEO, Steve O’Connor, said: “In a time of tremendous upheaval and uncertainty for us all, there are many Australians working night and day to keep us cared for and making sure we have access to necessary services, and of course our medical professionals – true heroes, facing great challenges and potential threats to their own health to keep us safe. Our hope is they see this campaign on their way into work and home again, and they know that we recognise and applaud their contributions.”

Concurrently, the company has also launched an initiative to promote the use of local businesses, tying up with Broadsheet Media on an OOH campaign that helps to show businesses that are pivoting, for example, a restaurant offering takeaway, during a Coronavirus lockdown. 

Broadsheet publisher, Nick Shelton, said: “We wanted to work with JCDecaux to help support Australia’s local restaurant and café sector during this tough time, so we have created a ‘Live List’ for each capital city detailing how our beloved cafes and restaurants are pivoting towards takeout and ready to eat meals. Our goal is to create a centralised point where audiences can go to learn how they can support their favourite local businesses.”

The final social messaging campaign the OOH business is launching is an extension of a long-term Australian campaign for mental health charity R U Ok? 

The campaign urges Australians to ‘stay connected’ even if they are separated from friends and families, educating around the mental health benefits to speaking to people over digital platforms and the phone. 

Overall, the use of the JCDecaux platform for social good messaging is something the media company believes will help society during tougher times. 

JCDecaux chief marketing officer, Essie Wake, said: “JCDecaux connects organisations with communities, whether they are in the hearts of cities or deep in the suburbs. In these uncertain times, our ability to be a platform for good is at its most powerful – which is why we are carrying a number of important government health messages as well. Our role right now is to help connect, support and educate communities.”

The impact of people staying at home on the advertising and marketing industry will be significant, and OOH particularly may be impacted. In Singapore, OOH specialist rivals are coming together to try and beat the downturn. By dedicating unsold space to public service and social good campaigns, JCDecaux is showing its value during tougher times and could pay off in the long-term.

What is a Local Citation? Local SEO

In simple SEO terms, a local citation refers to any mention of your company online. This could be in a business directory, or on an industry-specific site, a blog or any other local website. Although local citations can help you rank in local search results, they are no longer a major ranking factor . However, they are still worth considering in order to promote your business. Common citations you are likely to already know of include listings on business directory websites such as Yell or Thomson Local . A complete citation should include the name, address and phone number of your business. Local citations do not always include a link to your site although they are more valuable if they do. What do they do? Citations help rank your Google Local Pack listing (this was formerly called Google+ Local map) by providing Google with credible sources of information about your business. Citations tell Google that your business exists, is legitimate and that what you say about it is accur...

The beginner’s guide to semantic search: Examples and tools

Ever since Google’s Hummingbird, the term “semantic search” has been thrown around a lot. Yet, the concept is often misunderstood. What is semantic search and how it helps SEO efforts? When people speak to each other, they understand more than just words. They understand the context, non-verbal cues  (facial expressions, nuances of the voice, etc.) and so much more. It comes naturally, so we don’t really appreciate how difficult it is to explain what is being communicated without the help of all “beyond-words” signals. Factors that make the lives of both Google and SEO so difficult Google is trying (and often struggling) to understand what it is that their users want (without actually seeing or hearing them) SEOs are trying to reverse-engineer what it is that Google managed to understand from their users’ queries and how to build pages that meet those mysterious criteria. As Google’s algorithm is getting more mature, it is becoming even more difficult to decode what...

How to turn your customer feedback into a driving force for your product

30-second summary: Customer reviews are a powerful tool that helps businesses understand what they are doing right and where there’s room for improvement. To efficiently collect client reviews, use multiple channels to encourage users to share their feedback both internally and on third-party platforms. Negative customer feedback is especially precious as, if handled properly, it helps businesses grow and offer better service. Social media can help you build a positive brand image, you just need to engage with people mentioning your brand and start building relationships with influential figures in your field. Businesses tend to think that it’s better to get no reviews than to get bad ones. We at SE Ranking, have an opposing view – for us, customer feedback is always a blessing, be it positive or negative. We have developed a system of collecting, processing, and responding to user reviews that is beneficial both for us and our customers. Over the years, we’ve built an engage...
