CLIENT’S GOALS & OBJECTIVES

ID-FREE TESTING STRATEGY

Dstillery split the testing budget between four targeting tactics: ID-free Custom AI, cookie-based Custom AI, Contextual and Run of Network. Each campaign was targeted to a unique portion of the trackable web to ensure no person saw ads from more than one tactic. Additional parameters included:

  • All tactics used the same $2 bid price with all fees baked into the eCPA analysis.
  • No manual or automated performance optimizations were applied to better understand baseline performance for each tactic.

CAMPAIGN RESULTS & BUSINESS IMPACT

Within the one week test, all four tactics drove a total of 220 conversions. Dstillery’s cookie-based Custom AI Audiences drove the strongest performance with 132 shipment bookings, and ID-free Custom AI came in second with 69 shipment bookings.
