Escape Zone Montreal

Montreal, QC, Canada

Bilingual, location-by-location campaigns for a multi-venue operator in Montreal

White-label client, name changed to protect our agency partnership.

[ THE CHALLENGE ]

Escape Zone runs several venues across Montreal for English and French speaking audiences. Their previous agency ran one campaign for everything: no language split and no location targeting. French speakers saw English ads, English speakers clicked on French copy that read like a translation, and nobody could tell which venue or language was paying its way.

[ OUR APPROACH ]

We rebuilt the account around two questions a searcher answers before booking: which language and which venue. Each location got its own campaigns with separate English and French ad groups. French copy was written natively by a French speaker, not translated. Campaigns covered branded, generic, team building and tourist intent in each language, with bids set per language and per location. Location extensions and venue-specific sitelinks let searchers see the venue closest to them.
