We worked on UFC 229, which was later crowned the biggest fight in UFC history. Our aim was to drive awareness, interest and viewership for the fight between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
We targeted audiences through demographic and interest profiling by using the hashtag #UFC229 to promote video footage and static images. This audience was also given behind-the-scenes access, a tactic used to drive engagement and consumption of content.

Having tested campaigns for UFC on a number of social and display networks over time, we identified channels that were best suited for particular objectives. For this campaign, Facebook and Instagram were identified as the channels that would yield the best return on investment. By using both Facebook and Instagram, we ensured content would reach both existing fans and a wider audience of people who may be interested in the fight.
Content was updated frequently to ensure the top performing creative variations were used to maximise the campaigns’ engagement. Data was monitored in near real-time to ensure the campaign was running at its best capability throughout its duration.
