BronzeIntegrated Campaign

Metrolinx – GO Transit
"Find Your Go Time"
Balmoral Multicultural Marketing
To revive GO Transit ridership to pre-pandemic levels, Metrolinx wanted to cast a wider net by reaching out (for the first time) to different ethnic groups and offering benefits that extended beyond mere transportation. With many still choosing cars for their commute, Balmoral Multicultural Marketing focused on the most compelling reason
to take the train: To make time for yourself.

The “Find Your GO Time” campaign included four online videos, including one that showed life returning to chaos, with the GO train providing some sort of Zen. Another spot conveyed the message that as we work from home, the train is a place away from family, and therefore, free of distractions. Balmoral distributed the videos across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and created social assets with cultural colloquialisms of how riders could use their travel time. The campaign reported over 15 million impressions and had a video completion rate of 52.67% on YouTube.
