Strategic Partnership Supports Multichannel Advertising

Grapevine serves as Pilke’s comprehensive digital marketing partner. Our collaboration encompasses strategic insights and hands-on activities, from marketing planning to operational execution. Marketing channels include social media, SEO/SEM, display advertising, and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) solutions.

In 2024, Pilke significantly revamped its marketing approach, shifting towards building brand awareness beyond individual daycare center advertisements. A new social media strategy was developed to support the entire decision-making journey, from initial information gathering to site visits and final daycare enrollment.

We have attracted more visitors to our website, specifically the right kind of visitors who are genuinely interested in our services. Additionally, our brand recognition has notably increased, strengthening our position in the industry. The collaboration has been strategic, efficient, and results-driven.”
