PATTERN
Our Approach
1. Target New Customers with Precision
Setup Google Ads campaigns that specifically targeted new customers. Alongside this, we ensured budget allocation was phased in order to push seasonally relevant products that aligned with the priorities of 2XU. This approach not only increased the new customer numbers but also ensured all customers were served the most relevant products in ads.
2. Leverage First-Party Data to Fuel Smarter Search
Alongside targeting new customers, the goal was to ensure we are growing revenue YoY from all customer cohorts. We utilised the latest developments in AI, primarily using 2XU’s first-party data to feed into Google’s AI engine, enhancing the targeting of ads.
3. Reduce Reliance on Brand Bidding
Before engaging Pattern for Paid Search activity, 2XU drove a high amount of traffic via brand keywords on Paid Search. By turning off branded keywords, we were able to invest in non-branded keywords to increase the discoverability of the brand and drive new customers.
