--- title: "Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada: Case Study" date: 2022-01-11T08:35:00-05:00 author: Gregor Terrill canonical_url: "https://www.alphabetcreative.com/work/the-society-of-obstetricians-and-gynaecologists-of-canada/" section: Work --- website development ## Diagnosis? Check. Prescription? Check. Over time, the SOGC’s digital ecosystem became fragmented. It was clear that a more holistic digital strategy was needed to ensure its valuable content and resources were easily accessible. Not just that, but we needed to reinforce the SOGC as a thought leader of reproductive health and convey the level of excellence expected of a national association. We worked with the SOGC to architect a new digital strategy that involved auditing, redesigning, and optimizing the organization’s many existing websites – and updating content across the board. Then, we built out several new sites to help educate the public on a host of topical issues. Lastly, we ensured the SOGC’s digital properties felt more like resources than siloed websites, creating SOGC.org, one place for the public and members to get the reliable info they need. unify [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/1_sogc_org.png) ](https://sogc.org/) [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/2_menopauseandu_ca.png) ](https://www.menopauseandu.ca/) [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/3_yourperiod_ca.png) ](https://www.yourperiod.ca/) [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/4_sexandu_ca.png) ](https://www.sexandu.ca/) [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/5_pregnancyinfo_ca.png) ](https://www.pregnancyinfo.ca/) [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/6_hpvinfo_ca.png) ](https://www.hpvinfo.ca/) digital tools ## Because no two people are alike. Contraception decisions can be overwhelming. To help the SOGC keep people informed of their options, we created two practical, interactive tools tailored to a user’s needs. ### It's a Plan. Helping people and their health care providers determine the right contraception option.

As the SOGC’s agency of record, not only have we implemented an effective new web strategy, but we’ve launched over 20 campaigns to keep the organization’s resources top of mind. From alcohol during pregnancy to HPV awareness to timely vaccination issues, we’ve joined forces time and again to get the word out in a way that sticks. sorry ### **\#sorrynotsorry** To promote [YourPeriod.ca](http://yourperiod.ca/), which educates women on their menstrual cycles (from puberty to menopause and everything in between), we first needed to tackle the stigma. The result was the Sorry Not Sorry campaign, which facilitated an open conversation around something no woman should have to feel ashamed of. Or hide. Or apologize for. Sorry. (But not really.) - 1641947 impressions - 53807 clicks - 4.63% click-through rate - 2640 reactions - 343 new page likes ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/sogc-sorrynotsorry-background.png) ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/sogc-sorrynotsorry-foreground.png) ### **Love in the Time of COVID.** Even in a time of physical distancing, you can’t ignore the fact that some people are going to go the distance physically. The SOGC was keen on reinforcing the importance of contraception, even as many people shifted their focus to a different kind of protection. "Love in the Time of COVID" was built to remind people about their contraception options and how to find the method that best works for them, even amidst a pandemic. ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-love-in-covid-01.jpg) ### We don't do awkward. Sex is natural – so talking about it should be, too. To encourage people to get the facts on everything from consent to contraception at [SexandU.ca](https://www.sexandu.ca/), we took a tongue-in-cheek approach to a traditionally awkward topic. ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/sogc-sex-and-u-campaign-video-thumb.jpg) ### **Let’s face it,** **we’re animals.** Our *It's a Plan* campaign highlighted a basic human truth: that we’re all just animals with basic animal instincts. Unlike penguins, however, we can (and should) make a contraception plan before getting down to business. ## Menopause. Now there's a scary word. Due to a general lack of knowledge around the topic, menopause is typically perceived to be a daunting period in women’s lives. To drive women to get the facts at [MenopauseandU.ca](https://www.menopauseandu.ca/), we brought their fear to the forefront – so we could remove it. - 871229 ad impressions - 3.70% click-through rate - 162821 video views watch trailer marketing strategy ## The right tactics for the right outcome. The SOGC plays an important role in improving the quality of womens’ health care. Key to that is educating Canadian women about health issues and how to protect themselves and their families. Alphabet® continues to work with the SOGC to reach women through layered programs grounded in thoughtful messaging, targeted channels, and tools and resources supported by evidence. health ### **Lyme disease and pregnancy** **Marketing tactics included:** - Landing page design - Fact Sheet & QA - Social & Digital display - Video Assets - Physician support collateral ![Sogc lyme landing](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-lyme-landing.jpg) ![Sogc lyme print](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-lyme-print.jpg) ![Sogc lyme toolkit](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-lyme-toolkit.jpg) ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/clients/sogc/sogc-lyme-video-thumb.jpg) ### **Alcohol during pregnancy** **Marketing tactics included:** - Landing page design - Fact Sheet & QA - Social & Digital display - Video assets - Physician support collateral ![Sogc pregnancy social](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-pregnancy-social.jpg) ![Sogc pregancy print](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-pregancy-print.jpg) ![Sogc pregnancy website](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-pregnancy-website.jpg) ### **Menopause and U.** **Marketing tactics included:** - Website design - Physician toolkit - Social Ads - Video assets ![Sogc menopause social](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-menopause-social.jpg) ![Sogc menopause website](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-menopause-website.jpg) ![Sogc menopause toolkit](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/sogc/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/sogc-menopause-toolkit.jpg) ## To learn how Alphabet® can help tell your story, **get in touch, and we’ll get started.** [ contact us ](mailto:info@alphabetcreative.com?subject=Looking%20for%20more%20information) ## More work [ view all ](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/work/) - [ ![Ca business header](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/ca-business-header.jpg) Canadian Internet Registration Authority ### Find it Close to Home with a .CA Domain ](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/work/ca-where-local-means-business/) - [ ![](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/featured-electricity-canada.jpg) Electricity Canada ### The Future of Clean Energy with Electricity Canada ](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/work/electricity-canada/) - [ ![Indigenous Tourism Entrepreneurship Training Feature Image](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/assets/transforms/clients/_800xAUTO_crop_center-center_none_ns/Indigenous_Tourism_Entrepreneurship_Training_Feature_Image.jpg) Ottawa Tourism ### Supporting Indigenous Businesses with Ottawa Tourism ](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/work/indigenous-tourism-entrepreneurship-training/) [ view all ](https://www.alphabetcreative.com/work/) ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=228021097873593&ev=PageView&noscript=1) ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=3706857&fmt=gif) <![CDATA[YII-BLOCK-BODY-END]]>
