In 2019 the GoDaddy brand evolved. A loss of market share meant GoDaddy had to connect with people more powerfully. We looked inward to our company’s values and outward to users and realized there was a shift in the world – people feel more empowered to do their thing if they weren’t happy with the status quo – in life, business, projects, anything.

We found 6 diverse makers so that everybody could find a bit of themselves in this campaign – because everyone can change their world around them (friends, family, community), or the world at large (environment, stereotypes, taboos).

Results:

  • This was a huge success and gave the company the first turnaround in brand interest scores since GoDaddy’s IPO.

  • 2.9B views and growing.

  • 34M engagements.

  • We increased free trial sign-ups by 16%.

  • We increased site traffic by 13%.

  • Our social post for International Women’s Day was the most successful social post in GoDaddy’s history.

  • We increased brand search more than ever!


    Including when GoDaddy became a publicly traded company, combined with a Super Bowl scandal.
