Awareness & Consideration

Digital Business Lab developed a paid media campaign by activating a wide range of platforms to achieve Gold Star Line’s objectives on driving exposure & website traffic across key markets in Asia. The 6 activated platforms include Yahoo! JAPAN, NAVER, Tencent, Baidu, Google & LinkedIn.

We have also created localised creatives, including brand videos & banners, tailored to each target market’s native language to enhance relevance, while running ads across 5 different markets: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea & China.

Finally, we analysed and optimised the weekly performance of the campaign to ensure the media plan & tactics performed efficiently.

Key Takeaways

Best-performing Platforms:

Regarding B2B marketing, WeChat and Baidu are the two most effective platforms.

  • WeChat offers location-based targeting. Thus we can narrow down to specific company addresses and the business districts with our targeted business.
  • Baidu has an extensive search keyword pool, and we can attract traffic to the landing page with specific keywords.

Best-performing Creatives:

WeChat official account banner ads are more cost-effective because it is CPC mode compared to CPM mode for the moment ads.
In addition, banner ads perform better than video ads.
