The Background
The Challenge
The Approach
The automaker launched Co-Op Marketing across the Dealer Network using OnlineSales.ai’s HyperLocal, Co-Op Marketing Platform. The phase-I was planned to run for 90 days for 10% of the Dealer Network in India.
The ML-led, self-serving Platform enabled the Dealers to generate and manage quality leads at scale using automated, 1-click, Hyperlocal ad campaigns across Google, Facebook, and Instagram.
Smart Optimizers that powered the Platform automated various advertising processes like campaign creation, budget management, ad delivery, and placement, and more.
The Platform auto-generated winning ad copies and images based on pre-approved brand creative sets and templates. The ads were translated into 8 local languages to create maximum localized impact.
Using Smart Optimizers and Dynamic Creative Optimization the campaigns are continuously optimized to improve budget utilization, ad targeting, and therefore bring down the CPL (cost-per-lead).
Dealers were provided with a simple and intuitive Dashboard for reporting and analytics, as well as for lead tracking and management. Respective teams at the dealerships could rate the acquired leads as ‘Hot’, ‘Warm’, or ‘Cold’ based on priority. Reminders could be set for leads so that leads don’t fall through the cracks. This led to simplistic yet effective in-built lead management for the Dealers.

The Key Wins (In 3 months)
Very high dealer-engagement and satisfaction scores assured the adoption of the platform for wider use.
Platform’s in-built ML-driven media and ad-delivery optimizations over-delivered the Cost-per-lead outcome (i.e. far superior results against the agreed KPI).
Super-high Budget Utilization demonstrated the platform’s ability to spend media with a hawk-eye focus on outcome KPIs, ensuring client delight of meeting all relevant KPIs.
