"12 months ago, online greetings card marketplace thortful were seen as a challenger brand, competing for market share in an industry with significant media spend from big name brands. With a brief to deliver an organic search strategy focussed on improving rankings across core terms, we delivered an integrated SEO strategy so successful that they now capture more than 80% of the 'generic card market. We did this through a campaign combining on-site technical optimisation, and digital PR activity, which drove a nearly 500 links in 12 months.
Having previously captured 25% of the market, they now rank 1st for terms such as "funny cards", and "rude cards" and second for "birthday cards". They are now the market leader in this category, having overtaken well-established brands such as Moonpig and Card Factory.
These improvements, alongside wider improvements across other occasions, have seen their overall visibility increase by nearly 400% in less than a year. When lockdown came into effect in March, thortful were well positioned to take advantage of the surge in demand for online cards due to their increased organic visibility, and June 2020 saw their most successful trading month on record."

Rounding out a really wonderful year of awards recognition (truly, the main thing any of us will remember about 2020), it was a delight to see our teams’ hard work rewarded by industry experts. We were delighted to pick up the Silver Award for the particularly prestigious title of Global Large Content Marketing Agency of the Year. It’s a joy to have shared in so many successes with the whole of the company and to see that our agency is clearly doing excellent work on a global scale!Peak Ace AG Bastian Grimm
The first lockdown was difficult for so many people for lots of reasons, so we are hugely proud to have worked on a campaign which showed how a simple daily routine could benefit mental health. “It’s also incredibly rewarding to have our hard work recognised after it generated such clear and meaningful results for Jeyes. We quickly organised the campaign in less than a month with a modest budget but our multi-channel approach still gave us significant cut-through against the changing and fast-paced media backdrop.Rebecca Oatley Cherish PR
CS-translate wasn’t alone in terms of reasons to be cheerful in 2020. Amid all the chaos of the year, it was a pretty incredible feeling to win our first major industry award within a content category. We fought off some stiff competition in the process, and it was the perfect way to recognise the commitment of the team across the board here, and also the expertise of the in-house team at IG.Charlotte Green ICS Digital
