At the height of the pandemic, pre- and post-travel testing was an absolute necessity for anyone hoping to head abroad. The team at Platform 195 stepped in to help Express Test get its message out – providing an essential service for travellers at a stressful time.
Of all the industries to overcome barriers during the COVID pandemic, travel was undoubtedly one of the worst affected. With regulations on testing changing on a rolling basis, understanding the requirements needed to be cleared for travel, locating an available testing centre and booking a test to coordinate with flight departures caused serious headaches for all. Express Test by Cignpost asked our team to help them take some of the pain out of testing by serving highly targeted ads to travellers in the booking phase, allowing them to book a pre-departure or post-arrival COVID test to coordinate with travel plans. By using eye-catching creative ads across a network of partner sites, served with precise geo-targeting to travellers at key moments in the booking journey, we were able to drive over £190K in revenue for Express Test during the weeks of the campaign. Continuous A/B testing allowed us to optimise consistently to ensure top performance – leading to an audience reach of over 1.6 million. The campaign consistently outperformed industry benchmarks for CTRs and engagement and delivered an outstanding ROAS for Express Test, enabling them to expand rapidly and increase media spend 3x for the next phase of the campaign.
