Objective:

Nextdoor is home to a passionate community of pet lovers, providing a national pet insurance brand with a unique opportunity to reach pet owners in a way that only Nextdoor can.

The brand targeted pet owners on Nextdoor with the goal of driving brand awareness and meeting Nextdoor’s CTR benchmarks.

Additionally, the brand sent a Sponsored Email to U.S. neighbors, encouraging them to keep pets safe during the holiday season. Included within the email was a helpful list of potential hazards for four-legged friends and a link to Nextdoor Groups for pet owners.

Solution

The brand ran Sponsored Posts in the newsfeed to reach neighbors in relevant context. The brand rotated several different creative versions throughout the duration of the campaign, including sweepstakes, seasonal, and standard evergreen creative, to keep the content fresh and continually engage neighbors. 

We also sent a custom email to neighbors to provide holiday tips and drive quotes, resulting in an open rate more than twice our benchmark.

Among its competitors, the brand experienced the strongest lifts across Brand Awareness, Ad Recall, Consideration and Favorability.
