Challenge

Birdies BKK initially relied on Google SEM advertising to boost visibility and drive bookings. However, despite the investment, the confirmed booking rate fell short of expectations. This suggested inefficiencies in audience targeting, ad relevance, or conversion optimisation. Primal identified that while Google SEM is effective for intent-driven searches, it may not always be the best channel for reaching potential customers earlier in their booking journey. To improve results, we needed a data-driven strategy to enhance engagement, refine targeting, and ultimately increase conversion rates.

Approach

Through in-depth audience analysis, Primal uncovered critical insights into consumer behaviour, revealing the need for a more engaging and targeted approach. How Primal identified that Google SEM was not the most effective channel for reaching potential customers earlier in their journey led to the recommendation of shifting to Facebook Ads. Leveraging its advanced audience segmentation and interest-based targeting, this transition enabled more precise ad delivery, reaching high-intent users based on their interests, behaviours, and demographics. Additionally, we emphasised the importance of compelling creatives and ad formats to enhance user engagement, ensuring the messaging aligned with the audience’s motivations and booking intent.

Results

The strategic shift to Facebook Ads involved deploying a structured campaign framework, incorporating audience testing, ad creative optimisation, and performance tracking. How Primal utilised Facebook’s AI-driven algorithm enabled us to reach users most likely to convert, using lookalike audiences and retargeting strategies. High-quality visuals, persuasive ad copy, and dynamic creatives were integrated to boost engagement and click-through rates. Continuous A/B testing refined messaging and enhanced ad performance. By closely monitoring key metrics such as cost per acquisition (CPA) and return on ad spend (ROAS), we ensured the campaign delivered measurable improvements in confirmed bookings.
