STARBUCKSBLONDE ESPRESSO ROAST
• To launch Starbucks new Blonde Espresso Roast and deliver a data-driven OOH ad campaign, targeting and converting coffee drinkers across the UK.
OBJECTIVES
STRATEGY
• Ada was used to build a custom behavioural
audience through mobile location data over a 6
month period.
• The ‘Coffee House Hopper’ audience was identified as
people who frequently visit high street coffee houses
but are not loyal to any particular one.
• The best performing Large Format Digital inventory was selected to be part of the OOH media buy.
• All data in Ada is timestamped, allowing insights around time of day and day of week to be integrated into the planning.
• The campaign was then measured against brand metrics to determine the effectiveness of OOH and Ada on a Coffee House Hopper audience.
EXECUTION
• The Ada campaign informed consumers of the new blonde roast. After being exposed +45% said they were likely to try the new roast. Among niche Starbucks audiences this increased even further.
• As a result of exposure to the OOH campaign 25% of consumers made an incremenal visit to Starbucks.
• 57% of those exposed to the campaign took some kind of action. Rising to 8 in 10 among specific roast choosers. The majority of consumers talked about the campaign or recommended it to others.
