Project Details:

As a strategic creative leader at THG Studios, I partnered with ASDA Money to develop several high-impact paid social campaigns, each designed to increase visibility, engagement, and lead generation for ASDA Money’s diverse product offerings.

My approach included:

  • Data-Informed Design: Analysing performance metrics to shape creative strategies tailored to each campaign’s unique goals.

  • Creative Direction: Leading design and development across multiple ad assets, each created with cohesive messaging to build brand consistency while testing distinct approaches.

  • Post-Campaign Reporting: Delivering insights to optimise future campaigns by analysing results and refining strategies based on data.

Driving Record-Breaking Performance through Data-Driven Insights

Over the full duration of 2024, I planned and designed every paid social ad for ASDA Money. Here’s an overview of the campaigns I ran.

Breakdown Cover Campaign

For the Breakdown Cover campaign, I employed a strategic, data-driven approach by testing five distinct messaging angles. Each message highlighted unique selling points—like affordability, convenience, and reliability—to determine what resonated most with the target audience. This allowed us to refine the creative direction based on real-time performance, ensuring maximum impact and engagement.

  • Reach: +58% vs. forecast

Credit Card Reactivation Campaign

For the credit card reactivation campaign, I crafted a dual-message strategy, testing both brand-focused and discount-driven approaches to engage our audience. After identifying top-performing creatives, we developed four distinct asset variations to optimise effectiveness. This approach allowed us to assess the impact of each message style and pinpoint the most resonant assets, maximising engagement and driving a high rate of reactivations.

Results:

  • Impressions: +38% vs. forecast

  • Reach: +186% vs. forecast

  • Partner Exits: +45% vs. forecast

  • Applications: +274% vs. forecast
