Project Description

Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research (LLR) is a blood cancer charity (now called Bloodwise).

Their mission is to eradicate blood cancer, through research and related patient activities. LLR wanted to develop campaigns to promote and assist research into all aspects of blood cancers and advance the public understanding of blood cancers. The specific objectives were to:

  • Increase brand awareness
  • Increase the volume and value of online donations
  • Increase the number of blood cancer patients able to find LLR online
  • Reduce LLR’s dependency on Google Ads PPC advertising to generate keyword visibility on Google

Our Solution

Our strategy was to split their audience into 4 target markets (patients, donors, healthcare professionals and the public) and develop specific campaigns to reach each audience. We focused on content optimisation to improve the site’s relevance and content syndication to help build LLR’s online authority. Our specific tactics included:

  • Identifying key phrases, media sites and online communities used by patients/ their friends and family looking for information about blood cancers
  • Managing search engine optimisation campaigns to increase visibility of patient information on “living with cancer” through structuring patient stories higher in the website architecture
  • Managing content syndication campaigns on topics relating to cycling, marathon and active lifestyle sites to increase fundraisers and event signups
  • Recommending content strategies to helping patients and donors connect with each other more easily and provide support across Facebook and Twitter
  • Measuring the performance of the campaigns using Google Analytics
