THE CHALLENGE

Breaking through the Father’s Day noise

Father’s Day is one of the most crowded moments in home and lifestyle marketing. Greenworks, Canadian Tire, and Gladiator each needed a way to turn Scott McGillivray’s built-in trust into new, engaged followers rather than one-off impressions. The challenge: build a single campaign that could drive real, measurable growth for three distinct brands at once, without any partner getting lost in the noise.

APPROACH

OUR APPROACH

One giveaway, three brands, real growth

McGillivray Group built a multi-platform giveaway across Instagram and Facebook, pairing an in-feed launch post with staggered story reshares for each partner brand, backed by organic and paid support. A bonus blog article, “Scott’s Favourite Gifts for Father’s Day 2025,” extended the campaign’s reach beyond social. Combined across all three partners, the contest drove over 10,000+ new followers, 632,000+ in combined reach, 1.2 million+ views, and 58,000+ engagements across in-feed posts and stories.
