Measures
- An interdisciplinary project team from Webrepublic is assisting Miele with the planning and execution of the cross-channel campaign.
- Highlight: Webrepublic is developing an interactive game for the YouTube masthead that allows users to control a virtual robotic vacuum cleaner from their smartphones.
- Various coordinated online touchpoints for desktop and mobile are deployed.
YouTube masthead: Webrepublic is developing an interactive mini-game for the masthead, giving users a virtual way of interacting with the product.
TrueView ads: Product videos are displayed in the form of pre-roll ads on YouTube. The videos take the users to the microsite for the new RX1.
GDN: The banners displayed on the GDN match the design of the masthead and are linked to the RX1 microsite.
Search network: The relevant text ads ensure additional traffic.
Remarketing: Savvy users are identified, targeted on multiple avenues through a cross-channel media strategy, and taken to the microsite.
- Sector:electrical appliances
- Webrepublic customer since:2012
Results
Branding uplift: successful remarketing
- The multiple contact point strategy (remarketing) uses a broad awareness campaign (masthead: without targeting) to generate real user interest in the product.
- Users who have seen the masthead interact much more frequently with the product video (TrueView spot). The view rate and CTR is significantly higher among these users than those who have not seen the masthead.
Brand awareness: far-reaching
- The ads on YouTube and the GDN generate the necessary awareness among the relevant customers.
Performance: qualified interaction
- The campaigns (YouTube, GDN and Search) generate relevant contacts with brand-oriented users and clicks on the landing page.
User-Engagement: Hohe Masthead-Interaktionsrate
- The YouTube masthead with its mini-game generates high interaction rates.
- The CTR lies above the industry average.
The masthead for the new robotic vacuum is a digital pioneer project for us. Together with Webrepublic, we are matching an innovative product – the Scout RX1 – with an intelligent, interactive ad format on YouTube.Rico Fallegger
