Case Study

Testing Ad Content

BT utilised Activision Blizzard Media’s 100% brand safe mobile platform to boost brand impact for its ‘Code a Cake’ campaign—a  digital initiative that explores the world of coding. Through a brand lift study, BT was able to test the effectiveness of its video ad in a premium and fully opt-in environment. 

The Goal

Drive awareness and visit intent among parents for BT’s 'Code a Cake' website.

  • Campaign Dates: April-May 2020
  • Creative Format: 15 Second Video with End Card
  • Market Measured: United Kingdom
  • Inventory: King Games

 

The Solution

To reach its target audience of parents, BT leveraged King’s UK gamer base—40% of which have children under the age of 18. Through eye-catching rewarded videos that featured clear branding, the campaign helped BT drive brand exposure. Moreover, the inclusion of an end card provided those considering the ‘Code a Cake’ program with easy access to additional information.
