Having reduced a mobile tariff to its essentials: information, ordering, payment and customer service, and made it all controllable via a single app, freenet FUNK wanted to raise awareness of its unique offering, encourage app installs and attract new customers.
The campaign strategy was to create simple and direct ads to highlight freenet FUNK’s unique app-based mobile offering. Developed in close cooperation with Facebook, the campaign was targeted to young urban customers who feel at home on social networks and who regularly use mobile data.
The ads were designed to intrigue the young target group with clear messaging that explained freenet FUNK’s unique service proposition—its adaptability. Using automatic placements, the ads were shown in Instagram feed and Stories (65%) and in Facebook News Feed and Stories (32%).
Running in Germany between May 8–June 4, 2019, the campaign reached 3.5 million potential customers and achieved:
47% incremental activated purchases
50% incremental app installs
8.5-point increase in brand awareness
19.7-point rise in ad recall
