Beavis and Butt-head: Expanding reach and engagement in Google ad buys
The Situation:
MTV was looking for ways to expand awareness and interest on their relaunch of Beavis. They went ahead and bought contextual advertising in Google AdSense using a list of keywords researched by them and suggested by Google AdPlanner tool. This brought them certain reach but the client wanted more.
The Solution:
Colligent’s targeting identified specific TV show and music artist keywords that Beavis fans engaged with and vice versa. The client created a new ad group with these keywords to buy additional contextual advertising.
The Results:
When compared to their in-house ad group, the Colligent ad group increased their reach by 177% with a 11% higher click-thru rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC) that was slightly lower. Beavis opened with a 2.6 rating compared to a targeted rating of 2.0.
