When TUI, a global travel operator, aimed to reach new customers but faced the challenge of manually creating various video combinations, they partnered with Smartly to innovate creative processes.
Smartly.io’s Creative Studio helped TUI to create templates for different video ads variations and automatically generated 100 versions of video ads from TUI’s original video assets. TUI A/B tested all the hypotheses and applied learning to the rest of their campaigns.
First, Smartly’s Creative Services team crafted video templates for each variation: a 10-second video with a landscape intro, a 6-second video with a landscape intro, and a 6-second video with a persona intro. After creating the templates, Smartly automatically matched them with TUI’s original video assets. Smartly’s solution generated all possible combinations, resulting in more than 100 versions of the video ad.
TUI then leveraged the insights to optimize their campaign. Learning that their audience favored longer videos, they unveiled a treasure trove: the cost per initiate checkout dropped by 72%, and the cost per purchase decreased by 36%.
