The big-screen visuals allowed Miléade to showcase our village clubs and hotels, raising brand awareness among our target audiences. We then followed up with online ads to drive conversions. The cross-channel approach proved to be highly cost-effective!"

Challenge

Miléade aimed to enhance brand awareness and drive customer acquisition for their new value-driven holiday offerings, focusing on all-inclusive family vacations in France’s most scenic regions. Recognizing the potential of connected TV (CTV) to showcase their creative on the largest screen in the home, they sought to optimize the digital customer journey. Miléade’s goal was to maximize the visibility of their video ads across both CTV and display channels to support their performance campaign.

Solution

Partnering with GrowthAds, Miléade was able to build tailored audiences, including French families with children up to 17 years old during school holidays, couples with young children outside school holidays, and older couples who travel together. GrowthAds utilized look-alike targeting based on Miléade’s converters to ensure precise audience delivery. By serving high-impact video ads on CTV, they generated awareness and interest, and then retargeted those viewers with display ads to drive conversions.

Results

Miléade far exceeded its goals, achieving an impressive 1100% return on ad spend (ROAS). By optimizing frequency, they avoided overexposure while maximizing reach. This success was achieved with a CPM lower than the pre-campaign estimate, allowing GrowthAds to expand Miléade’s reach even further. In addition to CTV efforts, Miléade ran a lower-funnel performance campaign to drive conversions. GrowthAds discovered that the 30-44 age group delivered the strongest performance, while the 65+ group also showed good results, highlighting the importance of targeting intergenerational families. The performance campaign converted quickly, with 60% of conversions occurring within a day of the last touchpoint. This confirmed that the full-funnel strategy was effective, with CTV priming prospects for easier conversion during the final push.
