Challenge

DiDi's main objective this year is to drive incremental app installs by reaching new audiences and better allocating budget across different channels.

As a multi-product, multi-market advertiser, there is a high degree of campaign complexity. Understanding how each channel is performing— while trying to establish new products in some markets which are more mature than others—is complex.

Solution

Predictive Budget Allocation automatically optimizes budgets between channels, campaigns and ad sets based on a custom KPI that simulates the CPIC (Cost Per Incremental Conversion) in each platform. The custom KPI is defined in line with previous Conversion Lift Studies.

"Smartly’s PBA solution has helped us with not only optimizing our campaigns, but also with having a better understanding on the efficiency and incrementality of our paid channels."

Performance Marketing Manager

Results

DiDi acted based on changes to performance and let the algorithm decide the ideal share of budget according to where it's finding the cheapest results, avoiding manual tasks and guesswork to define and manage this every day.
