The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Center. (2021).

The Conan Doyle Case Book

Edinburgh, Scotland

Brief

A Medium and Psychic wants to launch a new paranormal investigation podcast. The podcast is bi-weekly and in interview format. The task was to generate awareness and develop a loyal listener base with no budget.

Execution

The marketing strategy was created to support the main proposition; a man from Conan Doyle's hometown investigates paranormal stories as Conan Doyle himself did. Once the podcast was hosted on all major listing sites, awareness was generated through an email campaign, use of each guest's audience and review swaps with related podcasters.

Results

  • Listenership was on average 200 people on the launch day of each episode.
  • It reached the top 100 documentary podcasts in the UK and was number 8 in the German documentary charts.
  • Reviews so far have been positive.

Branding

The logo and typeface take inspiration from Edinburgh's spooky atmosphere and Lovecraftian iconography.

The colours help sell the mysterious and supernatural tone.

Contracted a sound designer to create an atmospheric intro.

Created matching landing page on BuzzSprout and Conan Doyle website.
