[edit] VELUX Commercial chooses Designing Buildings Wiki to help deliver their marketing plan
'Designing Buildings have worked with us to help drive more prospects to our content.' – Jill Baty, Brand Manager, VELUX Commercial.
To help those involved in designing daylight into buildings, VELUX Commercial have created a portfolio of ebooks and guides. These are available as gated content on their website.
Part of VELUX Commercial’s lead acquisition programme is to draw potential users to the site and encourage them to download an ebook and identify themselves as qualified leads.
With its large volume of relevant traffic and credibility as The Construction Industry Knowledgebase, Designing Buildings Wiki was chosen as one of the media channels to help deliver likely users to the VELUX Commercial ebook and guide pages.

[edit] Call to action buttons
DBW designed a number of CTAs so they look like they carry the authority of the site. Each CTA linked back to a specific ebook page on the VELUX Commercial website.
The CTAs were then used in two ways:
[edit] Placed on relevant existing articles on DBW
A number of existing articles on the site were identified where the ebook would be relevant to the article subject.
A relevant CTA was then placed within that article on the basis that the reader will be in a heightened state of interest on that subject and more likely to click through to the ebook.
[edit] Featured CTA
For a week each month during the campaign, one of the CTAs is featured across the site, approxiamately 320,000 impressions.
