Smartly Helps FanDuel Scale Snap Spend 4.5X

Scaling Snap Performance During FanDuel’s Prime Sports Season

68% of Snapchat users 21 or older use the platform to share videos, reactions and images during game days, making Snapchat a critical channel in FanDuel's marketing mix during their biggest advertising time of the year.

Game days provide a massive opportunity for FanDuel to tap into new audiences on Snapchat; however, their internal team did not have the bandwidth to execute day-to-day operations. They needed a team and technology to scale ad spend and optimize in order to hit their ambitious CPA goals.

Smartly.io’s Team of Experts & Market-Leading Technology

FanDuel worked closely with a group of social advertising experts from Smartly.io’s Managed Service team to fully build, launch, manage and optimize their Snapchat campaigns.

To reduce time spent on campaign management, the Managed Service team leveraged Smartly.io’s market-leading platform to automate and optimize FanDuel’s campaigns and creatives. With the time saved from increasing automation and driving more efficient workflows, Smartly.io’s Managed Service team has been able to focus on creating a broader, full-funnel strategy for the FanDuel team.

Within the Smartly.io platform, the Managed Service team quickly made adjustments to campaigns on FanDuel’s most important advertising days. They bulk adjusted flexible bids and budgets across 25+ campaigns at once to increase spend on game days.

Beyond budget and bid adjustments, the Managed Service team also quickly built and added new creatives to 50+ ad sets at once, allowing for seamless updates across game-specific and time-sensitive campaigns.

Leveraging Smartly.io's reporting capabilities, the Managed Service team also helped optimize campaigns against FanDuel-specific metrics and uncover top-performing creative elements (across multiple Snap accounts) to shift budget accordingly and generate the lowest possible CPA.
