ESF UK

Wagada is an extremely professional and talented team.

Mark Neville, UK Business Manager, ESF-UK

Wagada was asked to use our international SEO experience to assist with the marketing of ESF UK, France’s biggest group of ski schools, in order to help drive sales in the UK market. The company had used an SEO agency previously, but were looking for additional support, from both a technical and content perspective, to drive the website to the next level.

The task required a combination of international and local SEO, with each ski school needing to rank for the phrases where people are searching for ski lessons in that resort.

ESF also requested support with developing their following on social media, looking to create a memorable social presence that would generate leads on an ongoing basis.

Our solution

  • We provided strategic marketing advice and recommendations for ongoing marketing plans, including a fully integrated SEO strategy.
  • As part of our social media strategy, we involved the ski community in sharing engaging posts on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, focusing on all aspects of skiing. We wanted to show the experience people can have whilst learning to ski with ESF, portraying the lifestyle, food and drink, and time off the slopes.
  • We portrayed the warm personalities of instructors across these channels, to better represent the fun, friendly and exciting lessons skiers can experience.
  • We created a loyal community who are interested in all things skiing. From aesthetically-pleasing imagery from the slopes, to sharing interests in ski holidays and activities off the slopes.
