Narellan Pools

Diving into Data for Narellan Pools

Potential

Narellan was competing amongst a barrage of brands shouting for attention over the summertime pool buying rush, but not meeting its growth potential We challenged ourselves to shape an innovative summer campaign for Narellan Pools with a smarter method of spending across their 49 individual regional and metro centres.

Realised

First up, we crafted an insightful digital and pre-roll campaign celebrating that first ‘dive in’ moment of owning your very own pool. But to be truly innovative, we dived deep into data – to ensure the right people were engaging with it at exactly the right moment.

Through our intense interrogation of first-party and third-party data we unearthed a targeting nirvana. We identified a set of specific factors that acted as the tipping-point to a sale – hacking our programmatic buying tools to turn them on, only when these specific conditions were met.

Our data-driven targeting allowed maximised exposure of our insightful campaign to exactly the right audience – and only at their tipping point of purchase consideration – delivering game-changing results.

The Results

  • We reduced Narellan Pools’ media spend by over 30%
  • We increased sales by 23%
  • Creating a record-breaking incremental ROI of 54:1. Yes, that's a $54 return from every dollar spent.
