Feedback summary: 

Nativ3 capably organized a complex and sophisticated targeting program, and they provided weekly updates of all advertising metrics. The team’s political experience made Nativ3 a worthwhile partner. Future clients can expect a hassle-free engagement.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was the campaign manager of Johnson for Governor, a 2018 gubernatorial campaign in Minnesota.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nativ3?

We hired Nativ3 to manage our social media accounts and our digital advertising efforts, first for the primary election and later for the general election.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

To start the engagement, we developed a content calendar for our social media pages. Nativ3's main requirement was to both write and post content and to fill that calendar. Our internal designer worked closely with the Nativ3 team to determine the look of all of our materials. In addition to running our Facebook and Twitter accounts, we relied on Nativ3 to post display ads and Facebook ads, produce and place YouTube pre-roll advertising, and oversee our SEO and Google Ads campaigns. As we approached Election Day in both the primary and the general election, we increased the amount of money they spent on our behalf. In all, they spent several hundred thousand dollars for us.

Our targeting strategy was probably the most complex that I’ve ever seen in a campaign. We determined several custom universes of possible voters based on gender, region, and a number of other factors. By the time of the general election, we had 21 or so unique audiences that received tailored messages. To facilitate that, Nativ3 built around 30 landing pages that we could direct people to.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a team of 5–6 people, but I primarily interacted with Max (Partner, Nativ3) and Jon (Founder, Nativ3).

How did you come to work with Nativ3?

Before working with Nativ3, I managed all of our social media. Once we secured the party endorsement for the primary, we began to scale our operation to the point that I no longer had the time to be responsible for that. Max is well-known in political circles in Minnesota given his role as an activist. He and Nativ3 emerged as the best options for our campaign.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $25,000 for their services throughout our campaign.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement spanned June–November 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We were pleased with the results of their digital advertising methods. Our SEO and Google Ads campaigns successfully targeted our designated audiences.

How did Nativ3 perform from a project management standpoint?

I was able to work directly with Max, and we interfaced about 10–12 times a week in person and through video meetings. His team generated weekly reports of our metrics. They are organized to the point that we never worried about incomplete tasks

What did you find most impressive about them?

Our targeting strategy was quite a sophisticated operation that included many small and niche subsets that received a wide array of messages. It was a complex undertaking to keep tabs on all possible voter universes and executing all of the media buys. I was impressed by Nativ3’s ability to manage all the moving parts of our campaign’s targeting efforts.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I cannot determine anything that needed improvement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

As Nativ3 continues to grow and add people that are as invested as the current team, future clients will remain in capable hands.
