  • Served a mix of Video and Single Image Ads, using A/B testing to optimise creative performance

Success factors
  • Messages tailored to audience journey: UniSA used emotional messages at the top of the funnel, including social proof in the form of student testimonials, to share its value proposition and spark interest. This was followed by rational messages at the bottom of the funnel to drive conversions
