Carly: TikTok Ads Revolutionize the Automotive Market Copy

Carly Scanner in the Toolkit

In the summer of 2023, Carly, an innovative company in the Connected Car sector, was on the brink of completely halting its TikTok Ads. High customer acquisition costs (CPAs) and a sense of inefficiency raised doubts about whether the platform was even suitable for their product. However, VOGGSMEDIA recognized the immense potential. Today, TikTok, alongside Meta, is an indispensable performance channel in Carly's funnel, delivering impressive results.

Carly had a clear vision to massively scale the sales of her adapters in the DACH region and the EU while significantly reducing the cost per acquisition without compromising on performance. Despite having a clear product-market fit and a huge market potential, the team was struggling with complex campaign structures, ineffective TikTok creatives, and persistent scaling issues.

The Objective

Then our 'TikTok First Performance Sprint' came into play. We adopted a three-pronged approach that addressed Carly's challenges directly and unlocked the platform anew:

01

Foundations: Together with Carly and the TikTok team, we developed a radically simple setup based on Smart Performance Campaigns. This created the necessary efficiency and clarity in the campaign structure.
