Challenge

Cutting through in a noisy industry.

In a competitive sector like pet insurance, paid advertising can be very challenging.

Reaching your target audience, for example, can cost a great deal of money. Any effective strategy needs careful, responsive management.

A strategic paid campaign to help 4Paws stand out in the crowded insurance industry, typically dominated by aggregators — with astonishing, tangible results.

Vision

Understanding the customer journey to get in front of target audiences.

The vision — an ‘always-on’ paid social strategy to keep 4Paws at the forefront of dog owners’ minds for when they are ready to review their current pet insurance policy.

This was to include a mixture of educational pet content video ads and incentives.
