Established in January 2018, Yoodo revolutionized the Malaysian telecom industry as the nation’s first and sole fully digital telco provider. Offering users complete control over their plans, allowing customization of data, voice, and SMS quotas, Yoodo faced a competitive landscape dominated by traditional industry giants and consumer fatigue. However, this complex scenario presented both challenges and opportunities for the brand, leveraging its dual advantage of robust telco expertise coupled with a disruptive edge, rendering them highly adaptable in the market.

Strategy

ADA spearheaded a pioneering acquisition model, ensuring zero media risk for Yoodo, with clients only incurring charges upon successful user acquisition. Leveraging ADA’s proprietary DMP, XACT, we honed in on the young, urban demographic with a digital and lifestyle inclination. Through meticulous data analysis, we identified five distinct personas aligning with Yoodo’s brand ethos: Gamers, Tech Enthusiasts, Entertainment Lovers, International Travellers, and Sports Fans. Customized content was meticulously crafted, tailoring messaging, visuals, and platform placement to resonate with each persona.

The Challenge

The beauty industry faced significant challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Thailand where nationwide lockdowns severely impacted mall foot traffic. Our client, a cosmetic brand, grappled with declining demand for makeup products due to people spending more time at home. Furthermore, the closure of malls raised concerns about hygiene and infection risk, leading to a sharp decrease in product exposure and experiential interactions. To address these hurdles, the brand introduced a “VIRTUAL TRY-ON” service to allow consumers to virtually test products and re-engage with the brand.

The Strategy

To glean crucial insights into our client’s potential consumer base, we leveraged XACT, ADA’s proprietary DMP. This data-driven approach informed our consumer persona targeting strategy, with a focus on driving traffic to the official website for the “VIRTUAL TRY-ON” service using Facebook as the primary platform. The utilization of VACE, ADA’s Video Analytics & Creation Engine tool, enabled the creation of personalized messages tailored to establish a strong connection and relevance among the target audience.

    Challenge

    Tokocrypto, a prominent platform in Indonesia for trading Bitcoin and other crypto assets, launched a campaign to drive app downloads, with a secondary focus on boosting user registrations. The campaign leveraged Programmatic channels to not only achieve installations but also push conversions through the lower funnel. The campaign faced significant challenges, primarily in identifying and acquiring the right audience in the highly volatile crypto market. This required a sophisticated targeting strategy aimed at individuals with a high propensity to invest in crypto assets, even amidst market downturns. ADA’s approach went beyond conventional methods, employing advanced data analytics and behavioral insights to pinpoint and engage this niche audience effectively.

    Strategy

    Audience targeting was meticulously planned to maximise relevance and conversion potential. Demographic targeting focused on individuals aged 22-45 in Indonesia, encompassing both genders. Interest and behavior targeting engaged users keen on crypto trading and financial services. Specific personas such as crypto enthusiasts, investors, tech-savvy users, and financial optimisers were identified and targeted to enhance campaign effectiveness. To further amplify the campaign’s impact and engagement, customised creatives and targeted messaging were developed. This strategic personalisation was designed to not only attract users to download the Tokocrypto app but also to encourage them to complete key in-app events, thereby enhancing user retention and activity. A key differentiator in this campaign was the integration of our ADA’s Acquisition CPA calculator. Unlike traditional estimation tools, the CPA Calculator that is powered by AI modeling and 6 years of solid data from past campaigns that we did across 12 markets in Asia with allowed us to precisely gauge the cost per acquisition based on the client’s budget, industry, and performance objectives, helping us to allocate resources efficiently and maximise the campaign’s ROI while maintaining low acquisition costs.

    We helped a global automotive leader optimise sales and marketing with CDP implementation

    Case Study

    We helped a global automotive leader optimise sales and marketing with CDP implementation

    The Results
    Improved visibility on customer offline and online data
    Enabled data-driven marketing strategies for targeted and personalized campaigns to high intent customers
    Improved sales strategy through 360 customer insights
    Challenge

    The client needed a way to capture first-party customer data from showroom visitors, where most interactions were happening offline and insights were fragmented across channels. Without a unified view of customer behaviour, it was difficult to:

    • Identify high-intent visitors and understand their purchase journey

    • Connect showroom activity with digital engagement data

    • Run targeted, personalised campaigns based on real customer signals

    • Optimise sales strategies across locations and teams

    As a result, marketing and sales efforts lacked the visibility needed to convert interest into measurable revenue and build long-term customer relationships.

    The Execution

    The client is a Korean subsidiary of a leading Japanese automotive conglomerate who wants to optimise sales and marketing in through data-driven strategies.

    First, we launched a campaign to capture showroom visits offline customer data and then implemented customer data platform (CDP) to unify all the data with segmentation, machine learning, and advanced analytics. Then, we implemented a dashboard which connects online and offline data showed the client a 360-degree customer view.

    This enabled the client to gain deeper insights into customer journey, to launch personalized customer engagement and marketing campaigns, and ultimately, maximizing sales.

    ADA derives insights for a Japanese departmental store with location & data analytics

    Case Study

    ADA derives insights for a Japanese departmental store with location & data analytics

    The Results
    • The client gained a firm understanding on the type of consumers who are seen in the malls.
    • A comprehensive report on each of the 10 outlets was produced to show the mall profile, demographics, willingness of visitors to travel, footfall density and more, allowing the client to profile potential consumers that they could win over from competitors and gauge the largely contributing tenants in different outlets.
    The Challenge

    Although the Singapore economy is slated for recovery due to local vaccination efforts, factors such as continued social distancing measures, reduced footfall traffic, and low volume of visitor arrivals continue to dampen the recovery of the retail industry.

    The client turned to ADA by leveraging XACT, ADA’s proprietary data management platform (DMP) and AI-driven solution to uncover data-driven insights on customers in their existing store locations, the locations of their primary competitors, as well as the demographics of selected locations with the goal of increasing customer acquisition.

    The Solution
    1 Location selection & geofencing

    We identified our target audience, competing malls, and potential malls to open new departmental stores. We geofenced 10 mall outlets to extract profiles of visitors, either by mapping the whole mall, or a section of the mall to best capture the audience for our analysis.

    2 IFA extraction & profiling

    The IFAs of devices seen within the geofenced locations were extracted. Then they were run through our XACT database for consumer profiling.

    3 Derive insights

    The identified data sets were analysed, with a focus on the following areas: Cross-visitation patterns, Willingness to travel, Footfall traffic, Catchment heatmap, and more to offer competitive insights.

    The Execution
    4 The insights on competitor mall outlets

    The target audience for each brand / mall were mapped out. Colour gradients were used to showcase least to most concentration catchment areas. The distance travelled by the target audience to arrive at the identified malls is tracked from their home / work locations.

    5 The Insights on visitor analysis

    The movement of the target audience was tracked by day of the week and were categorised for footfall analysis by Weekdays and Weekends. Age group, gender, persona, and behaviours were derived and supplemented using XACT. Affluence is derived from condition-based attributes. The device price tiers and home property price tiers were then segmented.

    Revamping customer emails for Owndays with marketing automation

    The Challenge

    With digitalisation in focus for brands, there remains a shortage of skilled marketing technology (MarTech) talent in Singapore. OWNDAYS, the fast-growing multinational eyewear brand, was seeking to improve its data consolidation practices and optimise its use of marketing technology ‚Äî but lacked the internal capabilities to do so. As their data was siloed within different platforms, the brand found it difficult to form and act on a comprehensive, unified view of the customer, making it difficult to plan and take the optimal actions based on customers’ needs and preferences. OWNDAYS needed a partner to help them reach out to both current and potential customers at the moment of truth, with the right vehicle and message.

    ‚:

    The Strategy

    Optimise email engagement

    ADA tailored the customer email engagement with a fit-for-purpose MarTech stack. The objective was to identify opportunities proactively as well as capture customer data in real time, while also sending personalised emails that meaningfully lifted conversion rates.

    Build a solid foundation in MarTech

    ADA partnered with OWNDAYS to build a solid foundation in MarTech and hone a data-driven mindset.

    The Execution

    Systems integration

    When MarTech tools complement each other, a stack is worth more than the sum of its parts. The result is not only automation and workflow optimisation, but also smoother cross-departmental communication, and higher return on marketing investment.

    Email automation

    ADA worked with OWNDAYS to set up automated email workflows for current and potential customers, reducing the time spent by the marketing team to compose and manually send emails to different audience segments.

    Email optimisation

    The workflow was optimised via a four-step process: Discovery, Identify automation opportunities, Develop findings, and Automation implementation.

    ‚:

    The Results
    • OWNDAYS acquired the tools to maximise their email marketing performance and to integrate previously walled-off data points, so they can deliver always-on and targeted email campaigns seamlessly to customers.
    • Generate monthly in-depth performance reports as well as send automated newsletters to engaged subscribers complete with relevant promotions, new product launches, and personalised reminders on abandoned carts.
    • 15% to 20% increase in open rate or automated customer emails.

    The Execution

    A prominent online car portal in Singapore encountered hallenges in consolidating customer interaction data from various touchpoints, limiting insights for marketing campaigns. While Google Analytics provides website behavior insights, the absence of user-level data impeded targeted engagement. The lack of analytical reports at the customer or vehicle level hindered informed, data-driven business decisions. Inefficient audience selection processes, influenced by factors like audience size, contributed to infrequent campaigns, impeding organizational agility and responsiveness.

    ADA streamlined the client’s data connectivity issues by consolidating disparate sources (example: customer data, transactions, email responses, and web interactions) into a unified view. ADA also implemented personalized targeting and setup infrastructure for web personalization.

    The newly created dashboard provides insights into audience cohorts, ownership details, and user engagement with campaigns. Effective user transition tracking and real-time insights are facilitated. The dashboard enables efficient campaign launches, including AB testing, based on audience insights, optimizing the client’s overall marketing efforts.
