Campaign Goals and Challenges
Client Brief
Budget airline client in the market promoting Pre-Easter ticket sales
To drive maximum amount of conversions, with lowest cost possible
Spanning targeted audience across multiple age groups and demographics
Challenges
Very low eCPA goal ($10) was set with multiple premium publishers and ad
networks on board competing around this metric
Campaign was run for only 20 days without sufficient time to optimize
towards best result, hard cut off day by March 28th
Highly-competitive period for airline operators when all players are lowering
prices and offering best deals to attract new customers
