By working closely with Google, the LC Waikiki team identified key goals: to boost brand query volumes, increase organic and direct channel traffic, grow new visitor numbers and drive total ecommerce revenue.
As first steps, they launched always-on display campaigns to drive new traffic and optimised generic search coverage to increase market share. Meanwhile, the team also developed category-specific YouTube advertising including TrueView and Bumper Ads, enabling LC Waikiki to grow category ownership.
LC Waikiki and Google then ran a causality analysis based on revenue to understand the impact of the campaigns. The results showed that mid-funnel investment in display advertising alongside and category YouTube spend increased brand query volume, new visitors and overall revenue.
Brand consideration and brand interest grew for all categories thanks to YouTube, while new website visitors increased by 26%. In addition to organic sessions growing by 38% and organic channel revenue increasing by 63%, direct sessions increased by 15% and direct channel revenue improved by 37%. What’s more, the causality analysis proved that without the new approach, LC Waikiki’s brand query volume would have been 22% less and total website revenue would have been 44% lower.
