Migros Online wanted to enhance its 'Hits of the Week' initiative by increasing the volume of their video ads production without compromising on quality or brand identity.

If Migros Online were to follow the standard procedure, when they updated the product information in their ads, the learning phase of the algorithms in the various ad platforms would be triggered every time the ads were published.

This would create massive delays in getting the campaigns live and compromise the effectiveness of the advertising investment.

Migros is Switzerland's largest supermarket network, operating both online and in stores. For Migros Online, they needed creative support in producing weekly promotional videos to attract more customers to their online supermarket.

HEMA's rapid store reopenings, averaging four to five each week, require a unique and tailored campaign for each new store. 

Previously, ensuring each store had its own campaign added significant workload and complexity. This process involved frequent back-and-forth communications, substantial money investments and consumed around four hours per campaign.

Print ads were especially resource-intensive as they needed separate briefs for copy, location info, and ad formats for each newspaper.

There are so many great possibilities for travel advertising, whether you are a car rental, an airline, a hotel chain or a travel agent. But, digital marketing does come with its challenges when the world is your playground.

Additionally, Cape creates social media ads in story and 1:1 formats, targeting the right audience on Meta with precise location targeting.

Different markets ask for different campaign needs: from different languages to local holidays or festivities, tones of voice, and brand identities. KLM advertises in 67 markets across the globe, in 12 languages and launches thousands of campaigns every year. Not to mention that all those ads have to be adapted to every format, channel and audience… 

On top of that, the customer booking behaviour can be very erratic due to promotional actions of competition, events, or the weather. Both prices and availability are constantly changing in response to these differences to find the perfect balance between yield and bookings to optimise revenues. 
How can KLM make sure that their product offer, pricing, and campaign pressure is always on point?

KLM currently operates flights to over 150 destinations worldwide, via a vast network of 92 European cities and 70 intercontinental destinations. 

With so many destinations to promote, they faced the challenge of tailoring global campaigns to local markets, which proved to be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the dynamic nature of customer booking behaviour added complexity to their promotional efforts.

KLM streamlines global campaign creation and distribution of 1000+ campaigns every year

In the modern workplace, collaboration is key. Many companies fail to tap into the expertise of their different teams, even when they share a workspace. It's time to prioritise cross-functional team collaboration.

In the dynamic world of advertising, navigating the diverse landscape of global markets can be a difficult task.

KLM now benefits from a user-friendly interface, where all internal and external stakeholders can work together smoothly. This includes a campaign library and a scalable feed-based setup for ads and email campaigns.

Local teams can access ready-to-use ads from the campaign library, adapting them to meet local needs while maintaining brand identity. Cape's input validation functionalities allow for quick and seamless adjustments for the product, destination or offer they want to promote.

With localised feed-data, KLM achieves even faster automated concept creation and publication. Local markets only need to review assets for final approval before publication as disclaimers, pricing, destinations, and visuals are automatically integrated. 

Doing business in all these markets and offering different products in these markets asks for an agile way of working. Global new formats need to be distributed across all markets, which often have different banner specifications or advertising rules and regulations. Local creative agencies might have the expertise, but they charge high costs for asset creation that might even exceed the yield. Especially the time-consuming localisation campaigns are very costly when created and published manually. Not to mention ads for the smaller markets, where big investments in creative agencies are just not feasible.

Before using Cape, New York Pizza faced significant challenges in their online advertising. In 2020, they shifted to online media platforms and implemented store-by-store targeting. Each store managed its own marketing budget based on turnover and franchisee contributions. 

However, manually handling campaigns for over 300 branches with different targeting strategies was error-prone and chaotic, especially with 1.2 million budget reallocations per year.

Additionally, offering six different campaigns monthly to franchises made maintaining brand consistency difficult, and analysing campaign performance was nearly impossible without automation.

In today's fast-paced business landscape, the pressure to generate the minimum amount of content that drives results is more intense than ever before. Read this blog and find out how you can expand your marketing influence without scaling your team!

Vandebron, offering highly localised renewable energy, aims to target their audience as close to the source as possible. To achieve this, they needed to launch hyperlocal campaigns tailored to specific regions and audiences. However, this presented multiple challenges, such as ensuring that a citizen from Amsterdam would still receive relevant ads even when travelling to Rotterdam. 

Additionally, the ads needed to be personalised with real-time data, including location, weather, energy availability, and types of energy suppliers, for each customer. The central question Vandebron faced was how to effectively market the correct data to the right audience through these hyper-local campaigns.

The ads automatically pull the correct data from these feeds, adjusting their display ad based on factors like location, weather, and the availability of energy suppliers. When a customer views an ad, Google Studio selects the appropriate data for that customer’s location and displays the relevant variables accordingly.

Creating marketing assets was a labor-intensive process involving multiple departments. The design team manually built HTML5 banners, which were then transferred via Wetransfer and categorised without automation. Each campaign had to be tailored for three stages—awareness, activation, and retention—and localised for each market and language. This manual process was time-consuming and inefficient, making it difficult to adapt quickly to changes.

With ads that are targeted within a radius (1 - 10 km) around nearby clubs, the target audiences always receive relevant ads from the closest club to them. Cape's automatic campaign management ensures that all pre-rendered ads go to Meta Ads - where budgeting is automatic and hyperlocal. Basic-Fit can now enjoy the fruits of localised and targeted marketing to prospects within minutes, amping up their campaigns and reaping the rewards.

With a single spreadsheet that contains information such as individual club locations, special offers, and language variations of the correct copy, Basic-Fit can use this spreadsheet to automatically manage full creative production, ad serving, campaign management, and targeting of locations in 5 different countries.

The Google spreadsheet connects to a Cape ad template and to all Basic-Fit accounts, meaning their scaling problem is resolved, and now they can publish to all media channels in one simple click! If the spreadsheet is updated for whatever reason, that change is automatically transferred over to their campaign as well. Changes are required to be inputted only once, in one singular destination, and Cape takes care of the rest.

To empower local marketing teams, ensuring campaign consistency while accommodating local nuances is vital. The KNVB, with nearly 800 clubs nationwide, faces the challenge of maintaining brand identity while allowing clubs to personalise campaigns. Many lack the expertise or resources to create effective campaigns independently. Manual recreation of central concepts is inefficient and often ineffective. KNVB seeks strategies that blend national vision with local relevance. Central campaign concepts must resonate locally to engage young football enthusiasts effectively. All clubs should easily customise campaigns with accurate branding and information, simplifying the process for even inexperienced users.

KNVB, the football association of the Netherlands, wants football to be accessible and fun for everyone. Football clubs are always looking for young new members, so how better to do this than with a cool campaign in collaboration with local clubs. What we need: a great concept, an intuitive way to localise campaigns and a central hub all clubs can access.

KNVB empowers the local marketing of hundreds of football clubs nationwide

Marketers nowadays have more platforms available than ever before to target their customers, test creative strategies, and optimise campaigns. These new opportunities can boost performance but also bring along some challenges. To keep up with the market's pace, businesses need to deliver an exponential amount of content, which is impossible when done manually.

Campaign Automation: Faster, Better, Easier

Learn how KNVB uses Cape's automated campaign solutions to empower local marketing teams across 800 football clubs, ensuring brand consistency and local relevance.

KNVB Empowers 800 Football Clubs with Cape's Localized Campaign Automation

KNVB now connects hundreds of football clubs across the Netherlands to pre-set campaign templates. What starts as a single campaign concept, can now result in 800 different campaigns. No more stressed campaign managers that need to localise hundreds of campaigns, or send countless emails back and forth. Just one interface to rule them all.

Get your campaigns localised and super relevant in a heartbeat, and empower your local establishments. With Cape, KNVB got the best of both worlds: the creation of central campaign concepts and the personalisation by local clubs. Create great brand or campaign moments without losing the local touch. Localisation creates high relevance for the target audience, which results in better engagement!

With Cape, KNVB created an online environment that all participating clubs can access. Each club has its own sub user account with the according templates for their creatives that always align with the brand identity. The input validation functionality ensures that the local marketing teams can only change those elements of the campaign that are essential for the local touch. With the invitation for the environment comes an instruction video to ensure everyone can start without too much effort. And with integrated chat modules, for when sub users need a second pair of eyes to look along.

Before using Cape, the main challenge faced by Libéma was the time-consuming process of creating image, video, and display banners for their different locations. This involved ping-ponging back and forth between all the teams to adjust, fine-tune, and approve the ads. This process, taking 4-10 hours per banner set, became a bottleneck in the campaign process, leading to delays and inefficiencies. Since each of Libéma’s locations has its own brand guide, manually creating these ads was even more time-consuming and error-prone.

Creating digital ads that match your company’s brand guide is crucial for maintaining consistency and building trust with customers. Here are 5 steps to help create digital ads that match your brand and ensure you stay consistent.
