Challenge

Olive Garden was looking for an effective way to increase candidate flow and ensure a steady stream of new applicants for a variety of positions at restaurants across the country. While they were already running various other strategies, we felt there was one great option that could really help: boosting their retargeting campaign.

Solution

By simply increasing our budget for retargeting, we saw a huge increase in impressions and clicks and more than double the number of applications month over month!

We created and deployed branded retargeting banner ads to re-engage visitors who didn’t apply on their first visit.

We chose messaging that was inviting and picked high-priority job titles to drive interest and clicks.

Our experts suggested increasing the campaign budget 4x to maximize reach and capitalize on this cost-effective strategy.

Results

By simply increasing our budget for retargeting, we saw a huge increase in impressions and clicks and more than double the number of applications month over month!
