Challenge
Sky Mobile aimed to boost sales by promoting their latest phone models, new features, and overall value. After a successful prospecting campaign with GrowthAds, Sky Mobile’s agency, MediaCom, recognized an opportunity to achieve even greater impact with a new strategy. Aware that more than 50% of internet audiences are not reachable through third-party cookies, they sought to engage these untapped audiences and drive incremental conversions through cookieless advertising.
Solution
Seeking a simple yet effective solution with measurable outcomes, Sky and MediaCom collaborated with GrowthAds for their first cookieless campaign. By using the GrowthAds Platform, the Sky trading team was able to:
- Activate cookieless inventory, reaching audiences previously out of reach
- Leverage GrowthAds’s Cookieless Breakdown report to compare performance with and without third-party cookies
- Validate, through detailed analysis, that cookieless prospecting led to a significant increase in phone sales.
Results
The results were clear: advertising in cookieless environments led to a 120% increase in website traffic and generated 3.4x more mobile conversions. Additionally, due to the lower competition for cookieless inventory on open exchanges, this was achieved at a 59% lower cost per visit. With these impressive outcomes, Sky Mobile has now adopted cookieless strategies across all their products and integrated them as a standard practice for all direct response campaigns.
