Doubled Traffic


Cengage Learning recently launched their first direct to consumer product with Professional Exam Review. The product is a customizable learning solution for individuals preparing for Level I of the CFA Exam. A variety of media include print, flash cards, sample exams, audio CDs and video DVDs. Southbank Interactive created the Online Product Tour which includes animation, video, and audio in a rich-media Flash application.

To promote the product, a banner ad was created for placement on AnalystForum, a site frequented by individuals searching for support and learning aids in preparation for the CFA exam. The first iteration was not attracting the clicks Cengage was anticipating so a quick revision was executed that included sale pricing and more feature copy. The click-through performance doubled immediately.

Southbank Interactive created the Flash application and animation, video editing and production, voice over recordings, and audio engineering for the Online Product Tour. Southbank demonstrated a breadth and depth of skills for this product launch including creating 14 CDs of audio book material, an entirely fabricated product line photo for collateral, and promotional banner ads
