Challenge

Obtain high quality leads

 

UOC faced the challenge of increasing its presence on YouTube and obtaining high-quality leads. With a significant portion of their target audience actively present on the platform, the university aimed to leverage YouTube as a channel to connect with prospective students and achieve meaningful conversions. To address this challenge, UOC collaborated closely with Adsmurai to devise an effective approach.

Adsmurai and UOC conducted two tests to optimize the conversion flow and evaluate the performance of different formats. In the first test, they utilized YouTube for Action (horizontal format) and shorts (vertical format) in separate ad groups, segmented by devices. The vertical formats were targeted at mobile devices, while horizontal formats were targeted at computers and tablets. In the second test, both formats were combined into a single campaign and ad group, without device segmentation.

Skyrocketing conversation rate

 

Following the conclusion of the testing phase, it was determined that combining both formats in a single campaign and allowing the algorithm to optimize the ads yielded the best results. Adsmurai observed a remarkable increase of 60% in the conversion rate and a significant 21% boost in the click-through rate (CTR). Additionally, the cost per lead (CPL) was reduced by an impressive 82%.

Furthermore, UOC experienced substantial improvements in its YouTube presence and the performance of its video campaigns. The implementation of the optimized strategy led to enhanced brand visibility and engagement with the target audience. By effectively leveraging Video Action Campaigns, UOC successfully attracted high-quality leads, resulting in increased conversions and a more profitable return on investment.
