The Brief
Art Central were not satisfied with its sales performance and partnered with Digital Business Lab for a short but impactful collaboration. Our mission was then to swiftly optimise their Google PMax Campaign to boost ticket sales. We conducted a thorough analysis of their existing strategy, with a focus on refining targeting, optimising ad creative and copy, as well as implementing more effective bidding strategies.
The Objective
The goal was to significantly enhance the event marketing ticket sales through Google PMax campaign, ensuring a successful event.
The Solution
Strategic Google PMax Campaign Optimisation
Our team completely revamped the Google campaign structure in order to unlock its full potential. We performed a strategic overhaul that focused on two key areas: audience signals and ad strength. We improved the audience signals to reach the most relevant ticket buyers, confirming our Google ads were seen by those genuinely interested in the event. Simultaneously, we dramatically improved ad strength, writing compelling messages that connected with viewers.
Authentic Localisation
Going beyond simple translation to create truly localised ad copy, our team worked on new Traditional Chinese Google ads that significantly captured the cultural nuances and genuine tone of the local Hong Kong audience. This approach transformed a generic ad into a powerful, locally relevant invitation.
