Here are three Twitter advertising case studies of brands across categories of ad campaigsn to gain more customers and increase engagements. 

iCLOTHING

iCLOTHING wanted to be a larger part of the conversations about fashion, happening regularly on Twitter. They decided to run a tweet engagements campaign focused on two custom hashtags, with the goal of increasing interactions among both, their current followers and a wider Twitter user base. They wanted to target women living in Ireland and are interested in fashion.

The brand created two tweet engagement campaigns centered around the hashtags #iWant and #iWear. For #iWant, users were asked to Tweet a photo of a celebrity outfit, and iCLOTHING would respond to the Tweet with a matching outfit from their store. With #iWear, users were asked to share a photo of themselves in an outfit featuring iCLOTHING pieces. These hashtags kicked off colourful conversations and gave iCLOTHING great user-generated content they could then spotlight on Twitter.

iCLOTHING used tailored audiences to target Twitter users who had visited their website, made purchases, or added items to their online basket. This helped iCLOTHING reach the most relevant audiences at a time when they were already primed to purchase. The campaign resulted in 25 percent peak engagement rate.

2. Pact Coffee

This allowed them to create customized content and more easily track which audiences were responding best to their offers. The brand monitored their campaigns throughout the day. This allowed them to more quickly identify which types of targeting worked best so they could optimize their campaigns more effectively.

Pact Coffee achieved 5 million campaign impressions, 13X increase in retweets and 5 percent increase in peak engagement rate.
