SOLUTION

We leveraged social media and programmatic ads to generate excitement and engagement of a wider audience. Social platforms played a key role in creating interactive content and establishing direct connections with potential attendees. In parallel, we deployed targeted advertising to reach specific audience segments. Programmatic helped to automate placement of digital ads across multiple platforms, significantly expanding our reach and amplifying visibility. By combining these tools, we significantly increased our reach and awareness about the event.

Our campaign launched before the official fighter lineup was announced, yet the anticipation was already quite high. Throughout the three-month campaign, we continuously optimized placements to maximize conversions and reduce the cost per lead. The results far exceeded our initial targets and expectations. Coupled with extensive PR and media coverage, our campaign had a direct impact on approximately 70% of all ticket sales, as measured through attribution modeling. Ultimately, our performance marketing team surpassed the initial goals by 2.5 times. We are proud to have contributed to this milestone event and are excited about UFC’s future in our market.
