Road Runner Sports, a leading athletic gear brand, was grappling with several issues related to its online marketing strategy. The brand had previously enlisted the services of several marketing agencies, but the outcomes were far from satisfactory. The agencies neglected creative testing, leading to subpar content that failed to resonate with Road Runner Sports' target audience. Moreover, they didn't focus on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), crucial for measuring the success of marketing strategies. Consequently, Road Runner Sports was falling short on scaling their online sales, improving social ad performance, and acquiring more VIP subscribers.
Structured's approach to transforming Road Runner Sports' online presence involved a focused and layered marketing strategy. Central to this was the use of influencer marketing. By identifying and collaborating with fitness influencers who resonated with the brand's target audience, Structured was able to use these influencers' social media profiles to directly promote Road Runner Sports. This method effectively reduced the cost of reaching potential customers.
An important part of Structured's strategy was to revitalize the creative content. Previously, the content had not been as effective in engaging the target audience. Structured changed this by experimenting with a variety of creative styles and themes. The aim was to not only better connect with current customers but also to discover new audience segments. By testing different creative angles, Structured identified which content appealed to new groups of potential customers. Following positive responses, these new audience segments were targeted more specifically, expanding the brand's reach.
Structured also emphasized the continuous improvement of marketing materials. By constantly updating and refining their content, they ensured that Road Runner Sports' advertising remained engaging and relevant. This approach helped in attracting a broader audience and maintaining their interest in the brand.
Finally, Structured streamlined the overall campaign structure to make it more efficient. By simplifying how campaigns were managed and optimized, they improved the effectiveness of the marketing efforts, ensuring better results with a more focused approach.
Within just a few months, Structured was able to boost the brand's Return On Advertising Spend (ROAS) to a consistent 5X+, demonstrating a high level of cost-effectiveness in their strategies. At the same time, they managed to decrease the CPA by 25%, making the marketing efforts more profitable.
Moreover, Road Runner Sports also saw significant growth in their VIP subscribers. By delivering engaging and persuasive social ads, they were successful in attracting more customers to their VIP program, creating a loyal customer base and promising steady revenue in the future.
