Our Approach
GSN, through their agency yellowHEAD constantly search for opportunities to improve campaign results by testing different elements of the activity. The Bingo Bash team recognized an opportunity to test changes in their ads and creatives, and further optimize GSN’s ad spend.
They used Alison to assess Bingo Bash’s creatives and saw a significant difference in performance between videos with and without sound. This incited them to test the level of impact this specific element had.
Running A/B tests of creatives with versus without sound resulted in significant improvements in performance. Once the team collected a substantial amount of data and saw the advantage of using sound in the ads, they shifted their focus towards these types of ads.
Given that the majority of Facebook users view videos with the sound off, these results were surprising and prove that creative elements should be tested on a case-by-case basis.
