EIT Urban Mobility faced challenges in building awareness for their free online courses. Passion Digital used YouTube Ads to promote their WebTV channel.
EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), faced challenges in promoting their free online courses. Passion was tasked with boosting their profile by using YouTube Ads to promote videos from their WebTV channel.
We launched five videos in October 2021, frequently refreshing content to maintain audience interest. Testing various ad formats and targeting custom-built audiences, we linked each video to a specific course. Optimising based on performance, we improved view and click-through rates. Over three months, our ads reached 3.7 million people, driving over 7,500 clicks to the site.
We responded to this challenge by launching 5 videos in October 2021. We worked closely with EIT to frequently refresh new, exciting content, ensuring audiences were not fatigued with similar ads.
We tested various ad formats, including In-Stream, targeting custom-built audiences (for example, people searching for similar courses/content on Google Search). Each video linked to a specific course, ensuring the content shown had a relevant landing page.
Once we gathered data, we were able to optimise performance by adjusting our bids on the best performing ad formats, audiences and videos which increased our view and click-through rates.

As a bonus, we were able to drive over 7500 clicks to the site.
