Havas Media Network & Kia UK: From efficiency to +61% market share
This campaign addressed a rapidly evolving automotive search landscape, where competition surged by 45% in the Electric Vehicles category alone. Manual budget reallocation was slow and reactive, and the existing value-based bidding model lacked the sophistication to manage multiple business areas.
By combining Adthena’s Brand Activator, Share of Clicks insights, and a tiered value-based bidding model, the team delivered significant results:
- 61% YoY market share increase
- 60% more Test Drives
- £286K saved
These innovations enabled Kia to make faster, smarter decisions, shifting from reactive manual budget allocation to a proactive, data-driven strategy. The campaign demonstrates how automation and market intelligence can drive real growth and efficiency in a competitive market.
