Our latest campaign case study shares the results of our partnership with Wavemaker and self-care client Sanctuary Spa on a brand refresh campaign that’s been nominated for two awards at the Manchester Publicity Association’s Inspiration Awards 2023
Ozone and Wavemaker North partnered on a campaign to intensify awareness of Sanctuary Spa as ‘the self care brand for me’ in support of its 2022 brand refresh. Reaching audiences during moments of relaxation across our trusted, premium publishers, and the use of our high impact, fame-building formats, was essential. The campaign has recently been shortlisted in two prize categories at the Manchester Publicity Association’s Inspiration Awards 2023.
CLIENT BRIEF
Sanctuary Spa’s brand relaunch campaign was briefed to run from October 2022 to April 2023. The aim was to reposition the brand from an indulgent gifting experience to the ultimate self-care go to, and drive perception change through the use of rich video creative. Demonstrate positive brand lift from the highly visual creative approach, and iterate on targeting to deliver incremental results that outperform CTR benchmarks.
OUR SOLUTION
We focused on reaching consumers in moments of ‘self-care search’ and identified the contexts where they were more likely to be thinking about these moments, such as readers of beauty, wellbeing and fashion content. We also identified moments where self-care messaging would be the antidote to potentially stressful situations, and where the placement of the rich creative would have even greater cut through.
Our unrivalled scale and depth of first-party, cross-publisher reading data from almost 90% of the UK population, and range of high impact, rich media ad formats, would prove key to delivering a truly impactful campaign in the editorially-led environments that consumers really pay attention to.
CAMPAIGN RESULTS
Overall CTR +60% higher vs. Ozone average: With CTR defined as the primary performance KPI the campaigns two bursts delivered impressive results. For burst one, the campaign delivered an average CTR +42% above the Ozone benchmark. Taking into account the targeting and creative recommendations we made, burst two improved delivery with an average CTR +78% above the Ozone average.
+31% attention lift vs. MOAT benchmarks: A combination of creative, targeting and campaign optimisations saw the Sanctuary Spa activity deliver an Ozone Attention Index score of 131 – an impressive +31% performance lift compared to MOAT’s industry benchmarks.
