Goals:
The core challenge for our client, Champion Fiberglass®, an electrical conduit manufacturer, was competing effectively in a landscape influenced by generative AI and evolving data privacy regulations in marketing. Seeking to leverage AI to enhance digital advertising performance, the team engaged in a 3-month pilot program with Electrical Construction & Maintenance (EC&M), a reputable trade publication within the electrical construction and maintenance sphere. The program was called Personif.ai and it used an AI/machine learning tool that delivers personalized content recommendations to the user based on their preferences.
The primary objectives were to increase form submissions and drive qualified traffic to the client’s recently relaunched website. EC&M readers engaged extensively with Champion Fiberglass’ website, showcasing high levels of interaction with various resources and tools offered, such as guides, blogs and product comparison charts. The success of Personif.ai not only helped Champion Fiberglass adapt to the evolving AI marketing landscape but also secured their competitive advantage by locking out potential competitors with a renewed campaign extension.
Strategy:
Launching the Personif.ai campaign was based on the premise that AI-driven personalization will increasingly be a key differentiator and that creative decisions will carry even more weight as the targeting power of cookies goes away. The strategy was built upon the already proven approach of advertising on trade publications like EC&M.
Adding Personif.ai’s advanced targeting and AI-driven innovation significantly amplified this foundational strategy. To determine which assets to promote on EC&M, the team referred to website performance data on GA4, social media insights on LinkedIn, and advertising results on other trade pubs, Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads.
Results:
- 550+ form submissions in 2023, each representing a qualified lead.
- EC&M readers also viewed 48K+ pages, downloaded 526+ PDFs, and used conduit calculators 300+ times.
- Total of 451,073 impressions and garnered 37,424 clicks, with over 500 leads generated.
- Average monthly clicks stood at 4,678, significantly surpassing the industry benchmark range of 700-1000 clicks.
- Email metrics: Average open rate of 56.8%, with an average of 3,086 total clicks and a click-to-open rate of 9.16%, outperforming the industry benchmark of 40%.
