Financial Services Advertiser
Brand Suite drives lift and engagement for new product launch
Advertiser: A Top Financial Services Advertiser
Flight: Q1 2013
Campaign Objective: Raise general awareness for a new Consumer Credit Card launch as well as drive deeper
engagement beyond the landing page
Execution:
• Baseline Media: 2 Awareness-Focused Ad Networks (running a mix of standard and Rising Star units), Solve Media,
2 Homepage Takeovers (WSJ and NYT)
• Xaxis Brand Suite Products: Xaxis Premium, Xaxis Radio, Xaxis TV
• Targeting: Owners of competitive credit cards & new card prospects (life changes, new home purchasers, etc)
Results:
• Xaxis Products drove deeper site engagement and also increased the reach of the baseline media components
• Xaxis Premium rounded out both ad networks by either 1) driving greater engagement or 2) increasing reach
Conclusion:
• Digital Radio is a legitimate addition to an awareness media plan
