How Domino’s enticed Aussies on YouTube with a slice of NY pizza
Challenge
Domino’s became the No. 1 pizza company in Australia by consistently using the latest technology to create seamless and enjoyable customer experiences. As a result, Domino’s marketing team keeps a close eye on changing consumer behaviour. Noticing that Aussies are spending more time on YouTube every month, the brand saw an opportunity to reach even more customers by using online video to lead its New Yorker Pizza Range campaign.
Approach
Domino’s wanted to make sure that YouTube’s wide reach would translate to higher sales. To find out, the brand tested the platform’s impact in two vastly different markets — Queensland and Western Australia — using a combination of bumper and TrueView ads. After running nationwide TV ads using its typical media mix and seeing relatively flat sales, the brand launched its exclusive YouTube campaign in Queensland. After sales in Queensland grew 1% compared with the rest of the country, Domino’s followed up with a second YouTube-only campaign in Western Australia, which resulted in an uplift of 0.5%.
