The Overview:

Urban Company (UC), with a diverse offering base across Categories ranging from AC to Salon, had multiple objectives while ensuring that performance budget is optimized at all levels: Categories, Channels/Platforms, Funnels and Creative. While “AC” needed an immediate scale because of seasonal demand, categories such as “Salon”, “Cleaning” and “Repair” needed a sustainable push.

The Objective:

The objective for this performance campaign was divided into two-fold:

-To scale immediately to tap the sudden splurge in “AC Service & Repair” demand in summer season while keeping CAC under control

-To drive other categories to ensure sustainable growth throughout the year

The Strategy:

One big piece of the objective puzzle for UC was to act well on “Pareto Principle” to identify those best 20% opportunities across dimensions to deliver the 80% of the result. This translated into delivering and acting on “Live Strategy” with help of “Intelligent Data Models” and “Smart Execution Processes”.

In essence the objective:
Intelligent Data Models + Smart Execution Process = Sweetest spots for maximum CR

ET Medialabs' Approach:
A detailed strategy was charted out keeping in mind the variety of offerings under the UC umbrella. Here ET Medialabs' proprietary “Data Intelligence Platform” turned out to be very helpful to deliver the intended business objective. The data dashboards built on the platform with “Top” as well as “Meticulous” views helped everyone to identify the live opportunities of scaling while leaving no scope of ad-wastage in this complex grid of Categories, Sub-Categories, Audiences and Creaitves.

The Execution:

-A thoughtful combination of “Platform Driven” and “Category Driven” campaigns on Google & Facebook

-To avoid any performance going to waste and constantly monitor real-time impact, we designed hierarchical data dashboards for live reporting, planning and execution

-Careful planning of budget distribution amongst Categories (AC, Salon, Repair, Cleaning & Others), Channels (UAC Vs. Facebook Vs. OEMs and others) and funnels (Prospecting Vs. Retargeting)

-Working on design and content insight driven out of ET Medialabs' “Creative Framework: Action Offer Proposition” across dimensions such as Categories, Sub-categories and Asset Formats

-Process driven QC checks to not leave any space for executional errors

-Constant measurement, standardized reporting, and analysis were set in place not only to minimize ad-wastage but to identify effective scaling opportunities

-Agile decisions based on data and timely execution with automated dedicate bandwidth to improve performance every day
