Our client first engaged us for a paid media review and training. After reviewing our feedback and proposal, they saw the value in extending our work to drive quality leads and boost ROI through data-driven paid media.
Objectives
NightJarr was tasked with developing a comprehensive luxury travel marketing review and training, which resulted in:
- Full funnel paid media to generate quality leads

Strategy
- The first step for the NightJarr team was to conduct a workshop with the client, focusing on gaining further clarity, identifying KPIs and outlining a measurement framework.
- The paid media work required a restructured approach that incorporated data-driven marketing, effective audience targeting, innovative campaigns and diverse ad creatives.
