Objectives
Our aim was to support Roberts Radio through their peak promotional period in Q4. As a retail business, Black Friday and Christmas are vital dates for strong performance.
The key objectives were:
- Drive traffic and support the seasonal promotions
- Increase brand awareness
- Support Roberts Radio to hit sales targets
Strategy
For our Paid Search strategy, we focused our efforts on the upper funnel activity, utilising 6 core categories.
This activity allowed us to speak to consumers as they entered the market, effectively minimising any drop in awareness over time, all while putting us in the forefront of the user’s mind when in the market.
We also implemented a new structure for all Paid Shopping activity, introducing a dynamic performance-based taxonomy. This allowed us to maximise spend and visibility on the products that performed the best over a 14-day period and minimise how much we were spending on products that weren’t selling as well at any given time.
We also implemented Paid Social activity to support our Search strategy. Using in-depth audience research and insights, we used social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, to grow brand awareness and showcase the offers using eye-catching assets.
