Best Video Campaign

The second nomination for is Best Video Campaign for Unilever’s ad campaign entitled Cornetto ‘Cone’fessions.

For this campaign we partnered with Mindshare Philippines to harness the power of Unruly’s emotional testing and targeting technology. This ensured that Cornetto’s Valentine’s Day campaign was a hit with young people across the Philippines.

We distributed three video creatives via managed service, using our Dynamic Content Optimisation to ensure the best performing creative was promoted. This helped the campaign to easily smash its KPIs.

First of all we tested the content to better understand how it would perform, what emotions the creatives evoked and which audiences would respond best to the content.

We then ran a second campaign using only the two best performing videos, targeting audiences identified in testing and lookalikes to provide scale. This resulted in exceptional campaign results.

Nominees will find if they have won an award, received a commendation or remain a finalist at The Drum Digital Trading Awards APAC ceremony on 12 October in Singapore.
