How to scale search spend and improve efficiency

During this year Qmee has seen a decrease in survey content on mobile devices. The challenge throughout this period was to scale search spend to ensure more users are directed towards search vs. Universal App Campaign. Because of this we started reallocating budget with more agility towards best performers, and implemented technical and creative tests to improve efficiency.

Universal App Campaign Creative Testing - New Concept 1

Upon concluding an extensive competitive research, we recognized an opportunity to introduce a new narrative centered around the persona of money conscious millennials, and focusing on conveying a new value proposition; ‘Live more, worry less’ 

The copy is presented in a problem + solution format, where the audience is presented with a challenge and told that taking paid surveys with Qmee can help them overcome it.

Copy: Say ‘yes’ to doing what you love without feeling the pinch thanks to Qmee surveys.

Twitter Creative Testing - New Concept

Since Qmee offers financial payouts, it can only advertise under special ads categories on social media. In the case of twitter, Qmee was only approved on the “Employment” category where demographic and audience targeting is not an option. Because of this, Ladder created a bespoke strategy to target via creatives using new tailored assets to help us reach our three personas: Regular employed, Parents and Business Managers.
