They should be either food enthusiasts or into food blogging and online ordering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Considering both these factors, the platforms decided were Google, Youtube and Facebook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution\"><\/span><strong>Solution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping the approach and objectives in mind, and based on the past campaign execution experience, the following were the digital platforms that were suggested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Google Display<\/strong> \u2013 Google display advertising is considered as the cornerstone of a digital marketing strategy, you can reach out to your targeted audience on your niche websites, apps, games or wherever your ad can appear through AdWords. It offers targeting options like age, geo, profession, etc. Hence, Google display ads helped the brand to target the audience by custom intent which helped in driving the awareness as well as the website traffic to Nando&#8217;s.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>YouTube<\/strong>\u2013 YouTube is the biggest platform for watching long and short video content which has a high popularity among young adults and adults alike. the platform has also become the top choice when it comes to food blogging and is widely used by food enthusiasts. Hence video ads of the brand were run on YouTube so as to directly target the relevant audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Facebook- <\/strong>Facebook is one of the most powerful platforms to reach out to the maximum number of audience. It\u2019s high in reach and one of the most used social media platforms where people spend most of their spare time. Also, it has relevant targeting options like Geography, interest based, etc, which makes it an effective platform for making the targeting more personalized. Hence this platform was used to target people who like ordering food or eating out and are interested in dishes like chicken, burgers, or both.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Campaign_execution_creatives\"><\/span><strong>Campaign execution (creatives) <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brand came up with interesting and compelling ads, some of which are as follows-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-2.jpg?resize=740%2C740&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19343\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-2.jpg?w=743&amp;ssl=1 743w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-1.jpg?resize=740%2C740&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19344\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-1.jpg?w=743&amp;ssl=1 743w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080x1080-01-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"418\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080-X-1920-01.jpg?resize=418%2C743&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19346\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080-X-1920-01.jpg?w=418&amp;ssl=1 418w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_1080-X-1920-01.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_250-X-250-01-2.jpg?resize=250%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19347\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_250-X-250-01-2.jpg?w=250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Xeno-Nandos_Post_250-X-250-01-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Results\"><\/span><strong>Results<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign resulted in an 80% increase in reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out our other interesting case studies- <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.themediaant.com\/how-paper-boat-leveraged-digital-media-to-increase-its-overall-sale\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paperboat<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.themediaant.com\/case-study-how-belgian-waffles-co-leveraged-digital-medium-to-increase-brand-awareness\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Belgian Waffle<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Product Originating in South Africa, Nando&#8217;s has restaurants in 23 countries, and employs more than 34,000 people.
