Campari America, Mindshare North America and Aki Technologies Drive 6x Lift in Brand Awareness with First-to-Market Mobile Moment Audio Campaign
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) January 11, 2017 -- Mobile moment ad platform Aki Technologies announced today new results from the first-to-market moment-targeted campaign with mobile audio ads featuring Campari America’s popular American Honey® brand. The “Keep Good Company” mobile campaign, which was created in collaboration with Mindshare North America (the media agency of record for Campari), leveraged audio creative, along with other digital ad formats, to engage legal drinking age professionals aged 21-30 during the moments they were most receptive to the brand’s messages, like how to make a simple mixed drink. The mobile moment strategy drove a 6x lift from control to exposed in top-of-mind awareness, measured by a third-party (comScore) study.
“With the ‘Keep Good Company’ campaign, we wanted to reach our consumer during a likely consumption period with a seamless ad experience that drove action,” said Margaret McDonnell, the Category Marketing Director of American Whiskies, Campari America. “Working with our partners, we leveraged a unique mobile moment strategy that demonstrated a keen sensitivity to the mobile consumer, delivering a brand experience at the right time, in the right place and with the right message.”
Working with Mindshare NA, Aki Technologies introduced a 20-second audio creative to reach consumers who were listening to streaming music on their devices but not, at that given moment, interacting with the screen. As a result of the multi-format moment targeting strategy, Campari was able to engage consumers during activities like grocery shopping, getting ready to go out, etc. — without disrupting those activities.
“There are so many variables in when, how and why a consumer uses their mobile device. If a campaign can’t adapt to those variables, its performance is limited out of the gate,” said Jon Stocco, VP of Sales and co-founder of Aki Technologies. “Aki gives advertisers a smarter way to navigate the mobile experience and, ultimately, build more meaningful and efficient connections.”
“This program is a prime example of why context is key to any strong mobile campaign,” said Emma Witkowski, Managing Partner, Digital Investment, Mindshare NA. “It will never be enough to simply view mobile as just another canvas. Instead, the ‘Keep Good Company’ campaign leveraged smart insights and adaptive targeting to reach people in the right moments, in a way that didn’t disrupt their day-to-day activities.”
