Case Study: Discover Atlanta - Multicultural Audience Impact

The objective of this campaign was to analyze the differences in engagement between two distinct audience segments: a broad audience and a hyper-focused audience


Our broad audience was tailored to the family demographic,  encompassing a diverse group of individuals with a wide range of interests who were contemplating travel to Atlanta.

The influence of African American travelers has profoundly impacted Atlanta’s cultural fabric, leaving an enduring mark on its history and vitality. Their presence and contributions have fueled the city’s evolution into a nexus of African American excellence, fostering a rich tapestry of art, music, cuisine, and activism that resonates profoundly within its streets. Their influence continues to sculpt Atlanta into a beacon of diversity, resilience, and empowerment, defining its identity in a profound and enduring manner.

Strategy
Orange142 launched a broad campaign for family travelers and a hyper-focused campaign for black travelers. This segmentation allowed campaigns, creative, and copy to be highly tailored to the specific wants and needs of these audiences. 

Families
Interests: Home Décor, Travel, Pets, Family Vacation, Cooking/Recipes, Dining Out, DIY Home, Women’s Fashion, Beauty & Wellness.
Sample Content: Southern Living, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure, Garden & Gun.

Black Travelers
Interests: Travel, Vacation, Cooking/Recipes, Dining Out, Civil Rights, Beauty & Wellness, Black History, Black Owned Businesses.
Sample Content: Ebony, Essence, Vibe, Jet, Upscale Magazine, Black Enterprise.

Orange142 executed many tactics for these campaigns. The results showed that the black traveler audience demonstrated higher engagement metrics compared to the family audience. Specifically, black travelers had a higher click-through rate (CTR), longer average engagement time, and a higher engagement rate. They also exhibited a lower bounce rate, indicating a more favorable response to their targeted content.

Results

Black Traveler AVG Engagement Time: 25 seconds

Family AVG Engagement Time: 25 seconds

Black Traveler Engagement Rate: 12.4%

Family Engagement Rate: 9.3%

Conclusion

Overall, the results indicate that tailoring content and campaigns to a hyper-focused audience, in this case, black travelers, led to better engagement and response due to strong content alignment and accurate media placement. This highlights the importance of understanding your audience and crafting targeted content to achieve more meaningful and impactful outcomes.

 

“At Discover Atlanta we invest a lot of time and resources into creating content relevant to the black travel experience, so it is very important to us that we can efficiently distribute this content to the target audience. Orange 142 is able to get both the reach and the engagement that outperforms against our goals.” — Andrew Wilson, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau
