Approach

Creative copywriting
Cura began by implementing effective project management solutions, plan and set up campaigns, landing pages, autocomms, social media, and paid media ads. Our copywriting skills meant adapting the brand’s tone of voice to match each channel target audience.
Content Ebooks and Guides
As an example, one of our branded content pieces was a B2B guide based on European data. Our team researched and dug into a European Fitness Reports, studies developed by Urban Sports Club and also into external experts’ data. Then we compiled all the information into an easy to read, interesting and practical guide, meant to generate new corporate leads and collaborations. The ebook became a part of the yearly communications in gated content for their lead generation strategy.
Translations
At the same time, we also prepared blog content pieces, other ebooks and materials that could be cross-published. We adapted blog pieces for SEO, researched keywords and prepared branded content according to the calendar plan. Finally we also provided translation services in several languages, including Spanish, English, and French into Portuguese.

Results

On-brand and on time

Cura’s commitment to deadlines and style allowed Urban Sports Club to stick to their branded content plans and promptly respond to urging work requests while keeping true to their tone of voice.
