O-Cedar: Content Strategy

Research & Strategy


O-Cedar provides high-quality household cleaning products with a strong focus on innovation. O-Cedar prides themselves on the research and technology used to develop their cleaning products. While this century-old company has proven the test of time, their first true investment in digital marketing came at the tail end of 2017 when they made the decision to work with us. We were tasked with crafting and executing a comprehensive content marketing strategy to increase awareness, traffic, engagement and sales for O-Cedar.

Additionally, we were tasked with taking their product-centric brand and transforming it into a lifestyle brand. To do this, we knew we needed to create volumes of content to position O-Cedar as a dedicated and trustworthy resource for Generation X and millennials. We launched a blog featuring lifestyle content, built out a robust video library, distributed regular email campaigns and pushed out content in a strategic fashion on social media.

CHALLENGE: Transform a product-centric century-old brand in the low-interest cleaning category into a lifestyle brand and increase awareness, traffic, engagement and sales.

STRATEGY: Create a holistic content marketing strategy inclusive of email, social media and video targeting 28-35 year-old females online and launch a blog and new website focused on lifestyle content as opposed to strictly product-focused content and optimize for conversion.
