2023: A Year of New Beginnings.

Share

2023 at MG Empower has been the year to end all years. We reached some key milestones, said hello to brilliant new clients and employees alike, celebrated our wins and doubled down on our core values. All in all, we stuck with what we know – driving impact through innovation, intelligence and creativity – while also entering a new chapter: our renaissance. 

We’re calling 2023 our renaissance for many reasons; we expanded our services, scaled up our technology and intelligence offering, played active roles in global events like SXSW and Cannes Lions, and held on tight to the values that make us who we are through it all. But, as we all know, sometimes the numbers tell the best stories. So, here are some key stats that sum up what a successful year it has been for MG Empower and our clients:

  • We reached over 41.7 million people around the world with over 50 campaigns.
  • These campaigns led to over seven million engagements, 200 million impressions, and 2.5 million effective conversions. 
  • And, as testament to the incredible work our team has done, we onboarded over 20 new world-class clients. 

So, yes. It’s been a great year and we’re SO thankful to everyone who’s been a part of making it so, from our team and partners to our clients and the many creatives and innovators in between. From MG Empower, we sincerely wish you all an equally successful 2024 and, before you go, urge you to have a watch of the video summarising everything we’ve just written about. You won’t be disappointed. 

If you’re looking to be part of this impact next year, you know who to call!

Paid Media Meets Influencer Marketing: How We Amplify Campaigns Beyond Organic Reach.

The content is good, the creator is right, the engagement rate is respectable, and then the post simply stops reaching people, because every major platform's algorithm exists to keep users scrolling rather than to guarantee a brand's content finds its intended audience.

Brand Storytelling That Converts: The Content Framework Behind Highland Park’s 34 Million Impressions.

There's a specific kind of frustration that comes with a brand account that's doing everything right on paper. The photography is good. The posting cadence is consistent. The captions are on-brand. And the numbers stay stubbornly flat, month after month, while a competitor with worse production values somehow builds a following that actually talks back.
