Goal

Present “the other side of the story” for fracking–an issue where only one opinion has been predominantly expressed online and in the media.

Our approach

We used organic search engine optimization tactics to drive online traffic to the campaign landing page, what-is-fracking.com, and other secondary microsites. Organic traffic to campaign microsites increased dramatically, which has drastically reduced dependence on paid media.
