Case Study // American Century Investments

American Century finds 10x the leads with AdParlor versus competition.

The challenge

Generate Leads efficiently

American Century Investments decided it was time to evaluate the performance of its Facebook advertising. So the company invited several Facebook Marketing Partners to participate in a bakeoff to see who could drive the most leads using a combination of Facebook and Instagram.

AdParlor was one of the contenders, and it set its sights on a lofty mission: proving that with the right approach it is possible for the financial services industry to efficiently generate leads using social media advertising.

The approach

Targeted audiences & customized creative

AdParlor crafted audiences and also targeted Lookalike Audiences based on the company’s website visitors and anonymized CRM data.

These audiences were then targeted with a combination of Link, Lead Gen, and Carousel ad units on Facebook and Instagram.
