The Challenge

  • Autotech’s website was well-structured yet it lacked proper tracking tools needed to serve and supplement the digital user journey.
  • The event was a mere 3 months away.

The Solution

After extensive research into the Egyptian & international auto market, ripplemark implemented the R.A.C.E framework model to draw a clear, measurable plan that would best achieve the client’s digital objectives.

Tactics:

  • Creation of a robust Facebook content strategy that uses all of Facebook’s ad types such as Collection Ads, Carousels…etc.
  • Determining Autotech’s customer journey (in both cases of exhibitor and visitor) in order to tailor content fit for each stage until conversion.
  • Creation of 2 creative campaigns aimed at increasing the number of exhibitors and visitors.
  • Refining ad targeting to acquire bullseye audience during every step of each monthly content calendar.
  • Performance testing in early stages to set realistic KPIs. Based on early performance, a clear understanding was made of what we could achieve with the assigned budget. Consequently, every stage of the R.A.C.E framework had its separate KPIs.
