“Visit Savannah faces the same problem many DMOs face when trying to drive incremental bookings during need periods: We don’t have access to the right data to know who to target. Quantcast was able to mitigate this problem with their unique approach and generate $1.6 million in revenue on an $80k spend! This was by far the most impressive programmatic campaign we’d ever run and they’re now an integral part of our overall strategy.”

The Challenge

Visit Savannah, the Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) for the Savannah area, set out to sustain and boost local economic growth by increasing Leisure and Business travel to in the area. Their key objectives were:

  1. Identifying and reaching specific audiences with relevant data, at the right time and in the right channels as users consume content

  2. Driving site actions and hotel & flight bookings, with confirmation that these visitors reached their destination.

Previous focus on direct response solutions were not driving awareness and purchase intent with new visitors, so they looked to engage with consumers higher in the funnel, before they had settled on a vacation destination.

The Solution

Partnering with Quantcast, Visit Savannah leveraged Data Partner Audiences to target audiences in-market for mid, upscale or luxury accommodations and domestic air travel based on frequent purchase data and purchase predictors. Data Partner Audiences utilizes data from Quantcast’s partnerships to tap into a specific audience with scale. In this case, MasterCard’s deterministic hotel and domestic air travel spending audience data was the base for targeting. Quantcast’s AI-driven, behavior graph was then applied to find individuals before they were in-market for a trip, driving an increase in year-over-year bookings and revenue per available room. This was supplemented by Quantcast’s partnership with Adara to validate lower funnel KPIs, including room and flight bookings.

The Results

Visit Savannah saw a 2033% Return on Ad Spend and 6% year-over-year increase in Revenue per Available Room.
