Challenge

Founded in 1967, the San Antonio Spurs are a highly successful NBA team with a strong, loyal fan base. As the only professional sports team in San Antonio, they share a unique bond with their supporters. The Spurs were seeking a targeted advertising solution to reach fans looking for single-game tickets, value-night tickets, or resale tickets at scale.

Solution

The Spurs effectively boosted their ticket sales by targeting high-potential prospects who resembled their current fan base.

Efficient Prospecting: GrowthAds helped the Spurs reach individuals whose online behaviors closely aligned with their existing ticket purchasers, minimizing wasted impressions.

Smart Retargeting: GrowthAds kept the Spurs top-of-mind with potential buyers by identifying and converting their most valuable website visitors.

Audience Insights: Using data from GrowthAds, the Spurs discovered that their fans were most likely to purchase tickets on Friday afternoons. This valuable insight helped refine ad messaging and optimize reach on other channels, including television.

Results

Insights into purchasers’ media behavior enabled a more efficient and effective media strategy. The ticket buyers identified by GrowthAds converted at a rate 5 times higher than the site average. The campaign achieved an impressive 8.5x return on ad spend (ROAS), surpassing the campaign goal by threefold.
