The Approach

To achieve the defined objectives, Achensee Tourism utilized non-guaranteed Programmatic Deals (PMP) on Netflix via Google Display & Video 360. The campaign deployed 20- and 30-second video spots, with targeting focused on prime time (7:00 PM–11:00 PM) and strict category exclusions to ensure brand safety.

The Results

Connected TV ads on Netflix delivered impressive results, most notably an exceptionally high Quality Engagement Rate of 98%. This high level of attention was achieved through excellent brand efficiency via frequency capping, leading to a budget saving of 48%.

This saving, in turn, funded a significant 6% increase in reach for the entire campaign. The success of this approach has significantly boosted brand awareness and solidified plans to utilize Display & Video 360 for all future CTV investments.
