<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p>Using Genius Creative, Greene King created dynamic video ads that used sports data to promote their pub locations ahead of Six Nations matches via Genius Sports’ live data API integration with Meta.</p>
<p>The ads auto-updated with every week’s fixtures and the nearest pub location for each fan. This was run as an A/B test against their existing creative to test the impact of dynamic, personalised creative.</p>
<h2></h2>


<h2>The Result</h2>
<p>The personalised, data-driven video ads came out on top against the existing creative across key campaign metrics.</p>
<h2></h2>


The results speak for themselves. The Genius Creative platform helped us increase awareness and table bookings, while saving us precious time and resource.



Greene King increases bookings by 20%
