About CareCareers
Care Careers is a not-for-profit initiative that aims to attract talented people from all backgrounds to work in the disability, community and aged care sector in Australia.
The challenge:
Use PPC to help position CareCareers as a leading platform for the Australian care sector
The challenge was to use Performance Media to increase brand awareness as well as increase website engagement, and promote Care Careers as a key platform for jobs and training in the Australian care sector.
The goal was to boost the number of job seekers in the care sector finding a perfect role, and increase overall job subscriptions and applications on the Care Careers website.
As a Not-For-Profit entity, budget limitations would ultimately direct our strategies and also provide further opportunities to achieve our goals.
