Localized Strategy: The campaign was customized for six major cities where the promotion was available, ensuring efficient budget allocation.

Optimization and Testing: Conducted A/B testing across different placements and interests to identify the most effective combinations, achieving optimal CTR and cost efficiency.
Results
Reach: 4,400,250 users on VK (exceeding KPI by 26%)

Website Clicks: 32,591 (average click-to-visit conversion rate of 54%)

CTR: Average CTR of 0.74%, with a peak CTR of 1.48% on the highest-performing creatives

Cost per Click (CPC): 11.38 RUB ($0.11)
Additional Outcome
