The challenge

Busy business. No marketer.

No time and no marketer. Leaky Roof is a family-owned roof repair and restoration business in Canberra. The owner was busy running jobs and didn't know where to start with marketing.

Hard to see what was working. Enquiries came in from Google and word of mouth, but nobody could say which channel was earning them.

A crowded local market. They wanted to become Canberra's go-to name for roofing, up against established competitors.

What we did

Give Canberra a reason to look up.

We built a full marketing engine around one big idea, a $20K roof restoration giveaway, then turned the attention into an always-on mix of ads, video and print.

Approach
01

A $20K roof giveaway

We designed and ran a Christmas giveaway for a full roof restoration, from the rules and graphics to the Meta ads and a live draw on 18 December 2023.

Approach
02

Video that sells the service

A 60-second brand film, service explainers for flashing, rebedding, tile changes, gutter cleans and a $99 inspection offer, plus a case study film of the giveaway roof.

Approach
03

Every channel connected

Meta and Google ads, HubSpot and the Meta pixel for tracking, email campaigns, Canberra Times print and digital ads, mesh banners, a bus wrap and a brochure.

Social strategy, content calendars, photo and drone shoots, ads, email, print and outdoor, all from one team.

From the library

One brand, every channel.
