The challenge

Before Victoria Gate Shopping Centre opened its doors in 2016, I was faced with an exhilarating challenge – to create and deliver a campaign, driving attention and footfall to the centre for launch that would not only match the centre’s grandeur but also set new standards of excellence in promoting retail and leisure experiences.

What I delivered

My data-driven approach paved the way for an exceptional campaign. Leveraging comprehensive retail analytics and spend data, I carefully identified the most promising target areas to focus our efforts. Combining this with behavioral insights allowed us to understand and engage the exact audience the centre desired.

An arsenal of cutting-edge marketing tools included a mix of highly targeted out-of-home, addressable TV, video marketing, social media, and programmatic digital display. Through precision targeting, we captured the attention of our primary audience, ensuring the right message reached the right people at the right time. This localised approach, deeply rooted in an understanding of the area and its surroundings, played a crucial role in maximizing campaign effectiveness.

The ripple effect of our strategically designed campaign extended beyond the primary audience. Collateral interest was organically generated through city-center advertising, as well as press and media attention, drawing in a secondary audience that further bolstered footfall and sales.
