Creative Corner: Showcasing the full spectacle of WOW!

Discover the captivating journey of how we achieved remarkable success in selling 40,000 tickets in just five months for the 2022 World of WearableArt (WOW) Awards Show in Wellington. Our strategy was not just effective; it was a spectacle in itself.

We began by understanding our diverse audience, from loyal superfans to first-time attendees, and strategically targeted both long and short-drive regions. As demand surged, we shifted our focus towards Wellington locals for last-minute ticket sales.

Our social approach evolved in tandem with audience priorities, delivering a well-planned yet agile strategy. We celebrated WOW's return with themes of inner strength and resilience, reflected in wordplay-infused copy and captivating imagery.

The results speak for themselves: 72.5% of tickets sold outside of Wellington, 40,000 tickets sold, and an impressive 3,708% return on ad spend. This campaign not only sold tickets but also generated over $28 million in economic value for Wellington.

Discover why subtle wordplay and striking visuals led to top-performing ads, and how WOW's blend of art, fashion, theatre, and spectacle played a pivotal role.

Performance Corner: Be Aware of these platform settings!

For this edition of Performance Corner we want to shout out our recent blog that highlights what we consider to be some of the most important settings across different ad platforms.

We cover all the major players including Google Ads, Meta, Tiktok, and Analytics.  The types of settings we look at ensure ads won’t show on 3rd party placements, platforms won’t make targeting changes and many more. These different dials can really impact on your ad delivery, so dive in to find out more!
