Cox Communications, the largest private broadband provider in the United States, was looking to drive brand awareness and influence consumer purchasing decisions with a focus on their Home Internet offering. Cox Communications was looking to fortify their existing advertising strategy with digital audio advertising to reach residential internet customers in certain zip codes.

For this campaign, Cox Communications partnered with Dentsu, one of the largest global marketing and advertising agency networks. Dentsu creates world-class solutions and services that unlock new opportunities for growth and business transformation across the entire customer journey.

This campaign targeted residential internet customers with audio ads. Listeners were also targeted using Adswizz’s Second Screen Retargeting, which retargets the audio listener with display ads on other websites and apps. Companion Banner display ads were also used.

For Cox Communications, AdsWizz’s ShakeMe was the right choice to target users in certain zip codes and to further drive direct response rates. ShakeMe is a motion-activated, interactive audio ad format that invites listeners to shake their phones or smartwatches to complete a desired action such as downloading a coupon, placing a call, or opening a web link. For this campaign, ShakeMe prompted listeners to shake their phones or smartwatches to open a web link explaining Cox Home Internet’s faster, more reliable download speeds compared to other 5G home internet competitors during peak hours of internet use. This web link also included information about the various internet plans and pricing based on location.
