    The YouTube campaign also boosted performance in other digital channels. In regions where the branding campaign ran, we saw a +5% increase in conversion rate and -4% decrease in CPA for SEM/Performance Max campaigns – compared to regions without the campaign. This proves the campaign reached relevant audiences with a clear and compelling message that drove action across channels.

    Long-lasting Impact

    The campaign's effects didn't stop when the ads stopped running. Three weeks after the campaign ended, new customer conversion rates in targeted regions were still 19% higher than in non-targeted regions – a clear sign of lasting brand impact and customer intent.
