Goal: Awareness and sales
West Elm wanted to raise awareness of their spring collection in Australia, build social engagement among their target customer base and drive online sales. Furniture are big ticket items and, to convert a social scroller into a shopper, the content needed to be highly engaging. They needed creative and social ads that could standout – and a strategy that would get them in front of their target customer.
Strategy: High-quality targeted ads
Vamp chose creators from within their community to create a bank of captivating mobile assets. While traditional homeware shoots would require multiple photographers, studios, set designers and stylists, the content creation for this campaign was incredibly streamlined, fast and cost-effective.
Organic reach has become an unpredictable element in social campaigns. With huge amounts of content competing for attention, only high-quality assets will stand out. But even for the most engaging post, there’s no guarantee it will land with its intended audience. That’s why for the second phase of this campaign, Vamp took these assets and transformed them into highly engaging ads for Instagram and Facebook slideshows, vertical videos and collections, plus Instagram Stories.
Vamp were able to leverage existing knowledge and data around the brand’s audiences, as well as the ad creative, formats and placements that prove most effective for the brand’s social funnel.
We received more than 30 submissions which were evaluated across three criteria: innovation, scalability, and growth. We’re happy to name Vamp as the winning partner for its highly scalable, end-to-end solutions for influencer marketing and branded content. Their solution seamlessly connects brands to its invite-only community of creators for high-performing social campaigns while delivering strong growth and return on ad spend for their clients.
