Timberland

Revamping Timberland's Meta Ad Strategy
  • 3.7x Higher Video Completion Rate

  • 22% Lower CPM

  • 45% Increase in Ad Frequency

  • The challenge

    Timberland was preparing to launch their new Motion Access Low Lace-up Sneakers in the competitive athletic sneaker market. Their goal was to differentiate their product from competitors by boosting brand awareness and driving product consideration among outdoor enthusiasts and fashion-forward consumers. 

    However, inefficiencies in their Meta ad strategy — made evident by low Ad Health Scores in video ad ratio, volume, and spend — were undermining their marketing efforts. To address this, Timberland partnered with brkfst.io to develop a targeted Meta advertising strategy that would effectively launch the sneakers and improve their Ad Health Score.

     

    The Solution

    To engage Timberland’s target audience, brkfst.io selected 10 content creators who aligned with the brand’s demographic. These creators produced a series of video ads showcasing the sneakers’ versatility through authentic, relatable daily routines. Eight unique creative concepts were developed, highlighting the sneakers’ style, functionality, and comfort, and demonstrating how they could be worn in various activities that resonated with both outdoor enthusiasts and fashion-forward consumers.

    The Result

    brkfst.io successfully helped Timberland launch their Motion Access Low Lace-up Sneakers, significantly boosting brand awareness, product consideration, and the brand’s Ad Health Score. The campaign produced 40 new UGC video ads, increasing Timberland’s Video Ad Ratio from 14% to 50%, , their Optimal Ad Volume Ratio from 1% to 15%, and their Optimal Video Ad Ratio from 3% to 100%.

    These improvements in the Ad Health Score were mirrored in the campaign’s overall performance. brkfst.io’s creatives drove a 22% lower cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) compared to the benchmark provided by brkfst.io. The ads also achieved a Video Completion Rate (VCR) nearly 3.7x higher than the benchmark provided by brkfst.io, indicating strong viewer engagement. Additionally, the frequency of brkfst.io’s ads increased by 45%, highlighting enhanced Ad Recall and suggesting the content resonated well with the target audience.
