LEVERAGING USER ACQUISITION IN VIDEO CAMPAIGNS THROUGH CONNECTED TV PLACEMENTS
SUMMARY
The goal for Taboola was to increase user acquisition in Video Action Campaigns, while improving Cost/Acquisition. Most of the common ad placements were saturated, so we wanted to test newly existing areas to find additional conversions at a lower cost.
This is how the Connected TV idea was born: by enabling TV Traffic on YouTube, we wanted to enhance conversions while improving Conversion Rate across all the funnel steps (Leads, Checkout, Account Creation). The test was run across 4 different markets.
In the end, TV Placements were able to generate High Quality Leads, with an outstanding +134% percentage of Leads converted to Accounts compared to Desktop, and a Cost/Account reduced by 75% on this placement vs Desktop.
After successfully running the test for 4 months, Connected TV was officially implemented in our Video Campaigns Strategy on two markets, representing now 12.5% of the Video Spent.

THE CHALLENGE:
Enhancing User Acquisition, while improving the overall Cost per Acquisition, through bottom funnel Video campaigns in a highly competitive market.
THE SOLUTION:
TV Placement in Video Actions Campaigns let us increase the amount of users interested in the brand, while taking advantage of a new and therefore less competitive traffic source.
In few months what seemed an hazard became an outstanding reality, directly bringing a solid increase in Accounts, while letting us:
- Increase the Conversion Rate
- Reduce the Cost per Acquisition
- Implement a new Placement in our existing Strategy
