Dynamic creative always-on campaign
Etisalat UAE moved its always-on advertising from product-led banners to people-led dynamic creative, building 3,600 ad variants from six base assets in seven days with the platform Ad-lib and Google Signals. Creative swapped itself by audience: eLife shoppers, sports fans ahead of fixtures, live broadband speed comparisons by location, and film lovers.
- The brief
- UAE consumers already aware of Etisalat's mobile and home offers, whom the brand needed to move from awareness to action.
- The idea
- With Google and Ad-lib, Etisalat built 3,600 ad variants in seven days that changed by audience, from eLife shoppers to sports fans before fixtures to local broadband speed comparisons.
- What to borrow
- Matching the ad to what a viewer cares about, using live data, can lift response; Etisalat reported 54% higher click-through in two months.
