The Challenge: A crowded playing field. Germany's athletic apparel market was a battleground, with established giants clinging to their share while new players clawed their way in. SAYSKY, a rising star, needed a strategy to not just enter the market, but thrive.
Our Approach: Data-Driven Domination
We knew brute force wouldn't win. Instead, we harnessed the power of data. We analyzed SAYSKY's strengths, the German market's preferences, and the competitive landscape. This intel helped us carve out a unique position for SAYSKY, one that resonated with German athletes.
Optimize and support the growth journey of SAYSKY in the German market - their first and now largest export market.
To tackle the challenge of expansion in the competitive German market, where both new and established brands are fighting for market share, we conducted a thorough analysis of historical data and gathered valuable insights into the behaviour of the German market. We also identified the primary target audience, USPs and objectives for SAYSKY. With this knowledge in hand, we were able to find our place in the market and develop a differentiation strategy.
Next, we developed a joint strategy on how to structure our META + Google Ads setup to best support SAYSKY's expansion strategy. Among other things, we used Google Display and YouTube advertising, which we combined with push advertising on Meta to create a cohesive customer journey across touchpoints. The main purpose of using Display and YouTube was to increase brand awareness.
We adapted our Performance setup in line with SAYSKY's existing marketing mix, prioritizing synergies across channels. It was especially important to coordinate push advertising at the launch of new products and collections to achieve maximum impact and output.
The solution also involved a close and coordinated collaboration with SAYSKY. We implemented a localized approach that included a German domain and language versions that supported the work we were doing on Google. With this strategy, we were able to ensure a high Quality Score as the landing pages closely matched our keywords and ads, resulting in an optimized user experience and better results in our marketing efforts.
By developing and implementing a solid branding and marketing strategy integrating Google Ads, we ensured an effective approach to support SAYSKY's growth and positioning in the German market, their first and now largest export market.
We achieved profitability in our performance setup from day one while reaching the goals set for push advertising. The continuous monitoring of new data and expanding our setup based on this information has allowed us to gradually increase the top line while maintaining a sharp focus on the bottom line.
We've rolled up our sleeves - and are ready to help you grow your business through Google Ads.
