Running Kia's Direct Response campaign provided valuable information on the best performing data and audience segments, the most successful creative formats, and key sites. This data was essential to getting Kia's campaign off to a good start.

Against the key goal of driving dealer enquiries via their website, Kia's Yahoo! DR campaign saw the CPA rate drop by 35.2% below their initial target. Against the second goal of generating brochure requests, the campaign achieved a similarly strong improvement on target of 32.3%.The campaign produced a significant Click Through Rate (CTR) of 0.15% and achieved a high volume of conversions.

What were the Key Learnings of this Campaign?

The Yahoo! Direct Response Network is comprised of many different behavioral categories such as Finance and Entertainment. Monitoring the performance of the Kia Motors campaign uncovered the strongest performing segments for the client: Auto, Finance, Retail and Travel.
