The Challenge

While ad campaigns were seeing success, we wanted to help WSUV further expand their reach and increase conversions. There are conversion limitations when only interacting with their target audience on Facebook so we were eager to find fresh opportunities. We launched Performance Max to supplement existing search campaigns, and our team identified TikTok as a rich social channel for potential student engagement.

Our Approach

Performance Max allowed our team to expand our ad content and explore new and fresh video ads that would catch the eye of potential students. To build a successful TikTok presence for brand awareness our design team created multiple video ad variations to interact with more potential students with a variety of demographic variations. On a busy platform like TikTok, making WSUV recognizable and eye-catching was an opportunity we were excited to take.
