Client Background
A large electronics retailer in Cyprus, specializing in smart home devices and consumer electronics, sought to boost brand awareness and drive sales for a new product line. Despite having a modest advertising budget, the retailer wanted to make a significant impact by leveraging the power of video advertising.
The Challenge
The retailer was unsure which advertising format would deliver the best engagement and return on investment for their target audience. Past campaigns using static image ads had yielded average results, but the client suspected video ads could provide better results, especially on platforms like YouTube, where visual storytelling plays a crucial role.

Competitor Benchmarks: Insights showed that competitors were focusing on demonstration-style ads highlighting key features of their smart home devices.
The Strategy
Based on these findings, the retailer launched a series of short, engaging YouTube video ads showcasing the functionality and ease of use of their new smart home devices. The strategy included:
Creative Approach: High-quality videos featuring relatable scenarios, such as a family using smart home products to simplify daily tasks.
Precise Targeting: Ads were shown to tech-savvy consumers aged 25-45 during peak viewing hours identified in the analytics.
