Challenge

Alumni Ventures, America’s largest venture firm for individuals, faced a significant challenge in testing YouTube advertising. Their initial plan to run a single, branded ad with a limited budget risked generating insufficient results and actionable insights. They needed a scalable, strategic approach to achieve measurable engagement and conversion outcomes.

Gameplan

To address Alumni Ventures’ needs, TribalVision implemented a targeted YouTube ad strategy:

  • Developed Campaigns: Launched four campaigns tailored to Foundations and Women’s Funds.
  • Custom Video Ads: Created reach and action campaigns with unique, audience-specific video sequences.
  • Optimized Reporting: Provided bi-weekly performance updates and resolved conversion tracking issues.

Our Impact

Over three months, TribalVision delivered outstanding results that exceeded Alumni Ventures’ initial expectations. By leveraging tailored strategies and optimizing campaigns, the following metrics highlighted the campaign’s success:

  • CTR Growth: Increased from 0.40% to 1.66%, driving higher engagement.
  • Audience Refinement: Targeting more qualified audiences led to competitive bidding.
  • Action Campaign Success: Averaged 17 monthly conversions (form fills) by month two of the campaign.
