One Load at A Time:

Washmen created a series of 6- to 7-second video ads, which were shot on low-end cameras to achieve a natural look and feel. The ads used thumbnails showing UAE roads to make them resonate with people living in the region, it had the tagline “All Your Weekly Laundry For The Price of a Drink”—along with an emoji to make the ads feel more personal and relatable in News Feed.
To make the most efficient use of the campaign budget, the team used automatic placements to run the ads across Facebook, Instagram and the wider Audience Network, prioritising Facebook News Feed and in-stream video, as well as ads in Instagram Stories.
The business created Custom Audiences of its existing customers to reach its target audience- The UAE. These helped Washmen reach new customers based on traits shared with its most active existing customers.
They monitored the ads through Audience Insights to learn which ads produced the highest return on ad spend and find out where the campaign could be improved. When the ads reached 10,000 impressions, Washmen either pulled the ads or heavily promoted them, based on their performance. After 3 months of testing, Washmen had an accurate picture of which ads were working best with the target audience.
