case study

Giving Rockstar Dead Eye precision for engaged audiences

Results achieved

Optily enabled the client to

Lower digital ad costs

Target engaged viewers

Optimized ad placements for those most likely to watch longer

Increase video views 4x

Quadrupled the number of views at the same ad spend

Improve conversions 174%

Boosted the number of conversions to full view

The Problem

Facebook natively enables brands to optimize a video ad campaign for Thruplay, meaning that they will serve the ad to people likely to watch up to a maximum of 15 seconds or 100% (whichever is shorter). Many brands want people to fully engage with longer-form video content.

Rockstar, working with their performance agency REPRISE invited Optily+ to help them optimize the official trailers around the launch of their flagship title Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar wanted to ensure the maximum budget was assigned to audiences most likely to watch 100% of the video.
