01 — The constraint

A national moment, during a national crisis.

The 75th anniversary of VE Day was a nationally important moment, arriving in the early stages of the coronavirus crisis. RBLI needed to maximise its fundraising opportunities and find creative ways to engage customers in time.

02 — What we built

A charity digital strategy, tested daily.

We began with campaign themes, messaging and imagery, then carried them into landing pages and point-of-sale messaging. Each audience had its own group of ads, allowing granular A/B testing throughout the campaign.

  • Audiences built on interests, past interactions, service history and location
  • A unique ad group for each audience
  • Themed landing pages with a unified message
  • Improved tracking across all platforms
  • Daily reporting and forecasting in OmniBI, our in-house tool
03 — The outcome

Every pound worked harder.

Optimisation focused spend on the most successful audiences, driving a conversion rate twice the account’s previous average at £0.30 per conversion. Facebook Ads drove 25% of total campaign revenue, which reached over £1,000,000.
