Advertising Goals:

  • Monitor and increase visitation through paid advertising

  • Increase web traffic

Manicz Media Approach:

Leveraging this reach, a display and retargeting media approach was implemented. Additionally, utilizing the Manicz Media data management platform and location tracking technology, the ad messaging was tagged to monitor actual arrivals to the museum after an individual was served an ad.


Campaign Results:

From a media performance standpoint, over 3.1 million ad impressions were served during this 3 month campaign. There were 7,697 new website visitors to the campaign landing pages. The Parents with young children segment performed the best, driving the highest visitor foot traffic with over a 3% attribution rate. Interest in Museums and Interest in Science segments delivered the most ad engagement, with click through rates of 0.35% and 0.24% respectively. These CTR%s are much higher than the industry average which is typically 0.1% or below.
