Doha Treatment: World Cup 2022
Situation
As part of a goodwill trip to Qatar Doha, NBA Legends Jalen Rose and Tracy McGrady visited with U.S. Military personnel and took a tour of some of Qatar’s 2022 World Cup sites from Nov. 10-13. The trip was organized by our client Blink, a U.S based event management company.
Blink was just launching their brand online and had no social media presence. Our campaign objectives included:
Acquire 10,000 social media followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Increase awareness for the Doha treatment event in Qatar.
Strategy
Market & Competitors Research: We conducted market research for Blink that lead to valuable insights used for our targeting and creative strategy. We found that more than 85% of people interested in sports like soccer, basketball and football were males between the ages of 21 - 55. Also using tools like Google Trends and Facebook Audience Insights we were able to identify the top locations of people interested in each sport.
Personas: We developed customer personas to improve understanding of our audiences, craft a relevant strategy and improve our messaging.
Advertising Strategy: Based on all the data and insights we gathered, we created a data-driven advertising strategy and relevant creative assets to test and identify which segments best responded to what message.
Testing & Optimization
We conducted various A/B tests that helped us identify the top- performing campaign elements and combos which generated the most amount of results at the lowest possible cost.
Campaign elements that were tested include but are not limited to:
Locations, Interests, Retargeting audiences, Custom audiences, Lookalike audiences, Creative assets, Campaign Objectives, Bidding strategies and Placements.
