How Britbox raised supercharged
awareness for their original mini-series.
Objective
The world already knows Britbox and so we’re sure this video streaming heavyweight needs no introduction, but it came to Entravision to make a new original series just as popular.
Its objective was to raise supercharged awareness and drive dwell time and traffic to Britbox original mini-series “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” with series lovers all over South Africa.
​
Solution
Britbox through Entravision partnered with a local South African publisher, ENCA; putting Britbox front and centre by occupying prime ad real-estate above the fold launching with a desktop Video Wallpaper to grab users’ attention while informing and creating excitement around the new release on Britbox. To further boost exposure and drive the community to Britbox, they ran a mobile scroller Vertical Video creative solution.
Results
The campaign absolutely smashed global benchmarks, the campaign delivered a total of 1 000 079 impressions, driving 11 376 unique users to Britbox achieving a CTR of 1.14%.
​
By analysing the data, we saw 89.1% of users viewed this campaign from their mobile devices and as a result, the scroller with video creative saw the most engagement topping 5.80% running across, smartphones, feature phone and tablet devices.
​
The desktop video wallpaper achieved a 92.23% viewability with users spending an average of a whopping 21.07 sec on both creatives.
It’s clear that the South African online community was captured by the creative and was pulled into exploring more about the original mini-series.
