Challenge

bareMinerals aimed to maximize brand awareness and recall on YouTube while maintaining efficient ad spend. The challenge was to find the right balance: maximizing brand impact without overwhelming viewers or wasting ad budget.

Solution

WITHIN implemented a multicell testing approach using Search Lift Studies and Brand Lift Studies on two identical awareness-optimized campaigns with different frequency caps. This method allowed the team to directly compare how each frequency cap affected brand and search lift, offering a clear understanding of how often ads should appear to optimize campaign effectiveness.

Results

The testing revealed that a higher frequency cap significantly boosted user engagement at a lower cost per lift. This suggests that increasing the cap could improve brand awareness and recall on YouTube without compromising cost efficiency.

  • By partnering with WITHIN, we were able to unlock the full potential of YouTube advertising. Their data-driven approach and innovative testing methodologies helped us achieve substantial brand growth on the platform.
