Akbank: The Future of Search Ads

Akbank, a Turkish bank, launched The Future of Search Ads campaign to generate new traffic sources to drive more sales and generate a higher return on ad spend in Turkey.

Objectives and strategy

The objective was to use Google Adwords Search Engine at best to sell credit cards with the lowest cost of sales per unit, increase our new customer base and strengthen Akbank's total share in the credit card competition among the other banks in Turkey. To sell more credit cards, we launched a new credit card application process in August 2017.

To increase our profitability we only got into bidding for converting keywords with our competitors when we wanted to with the help of our exponential growth statistics of converting keywords.

We’re long-term subscribers to WARC and it’s a tool we use extensively. We use it to source case studies and best practice for the purposes of internal training, as well as for putting persuasive cases to clients. In compiling a recent case for long-term, sustained investment in brand, we were able to support key marketing principles with numerous case studies sourced from WARC. It helped bring what could have been a relatively dry deck to life with recognisable brand successes from across a broad number of categories. It’s incredibly efficient to have such a wealth of insight in one place.
