�Improvements Compared to CONBAU Nord 2023 & 2024 :
One of the key goals of the 2025 campaign was to build on the lessons learned from the 2023 and 2024 sessions and implement strategic improvements in performance, structure, and targeting. The following key areas were significantly improved:
✅ 1. Performance-Driven Advertising
2023–2024 relied mostly on organic reach, print materials, and basic Meta campaigns.
In 2025, we introduced structured LinkedIn & Google Ads campaigns, resulting in measurable improvements in click-through rate (CTR) and conversion tracking.
✅ 2. Clear Conversion Goals
Earlier campaigns lacked dedicated landing page optimization and event tracking.
In 2025, the ticket form was integrated with tracking tools like Matomo and Google Tag Manager, enabling precise lead attribution per campaign and channel.
✅ 3. Retargeting Strategy
No retargeting was implemented in previous years.
For 2025, we launched LinkedIn Website Retargeting, reminding previous visitors to complete their ticket purchase — resulting in a noticeable uptick in last-phase conversions.
✅ 4. Audience Segmentation
Earlier outreach was broad and unspecific.
We introduced audience segmentation by job title (e.g., architects, project developers, public officers), region (e.g., Niedersachsen, Hamburg, Berlin), and engagement level.
✅ 5. Budget Efficiency
The 2023/24 budget was used broadly without A/B testing or performance feedback.
In 2025, we paused underperforming ads, redirected budget to high-performing formats (e.g., carousel + testimonial creatives), and reduced CPC by over 30%.
✅ 6. Data-Driven Reporting
Previously, there was no unified campaign reporting.
We implemented weekly KPI reports and strategic review sessions with the client, allowing for agile adjustments and transparent performance tracking.
📈 Measurable Impact
More leads with less spend: Lead cost reduced despite higher ad volume
Better engagement: Higher CTR, lower bounce rate on the ticket page
