Maximize spend by building the right audiences.
Client
A world-class ski resort located in the Rocky Mountain region.
Goal
The client wanted to grow market share for the resort, measured by lodging and lift ticket sales. Only 4% of Americans are skiers, a percentage that remains flat year-over-year. This small population is widely distributed geographically and often brand-loyal (many consumers visit their favorite resorts for years). As such, growing market share is particularly challenging and customer retention is crucial.
Strategy
FiveFifty focused on growing destination bookings with the right media experience, media mix, and cadence. The team applied industry, historical, and competitive insights to a data-driven campaign, focused on audience insights and optimized to campaign KPIs in real time. Working hand-in-hand with the resort, FiveFifty prioritized striking the best possible combination of audience, inventory, and creative at each step to surpass the resort’s goals.
