COGfilm Provides Web Marketing Services to Peoria Seventh-day Adventist Church

COGfilm provided marketing services to the Peoria Seventh-day Adventist Church to raise awareness of the One Day Prophecy Seminar hosted by Pastor Clarence Small on October 8, 2011. Key components of the marketing campaign included creating a website for online registration, a video trailer, a radio ad, graphic design for print materials, and a targeted Facebook ad campaign.

This campaign was experimental for the church, but the new marketing endeavors worked very well, providing a much higher return on investment than traditional systems such as mailings and door hangers.
