KFC was set to deliver 150% growth in e-commerce from 2020 to 2022, so Hearts and Science started inspecting the impact of each strategic pillar to ensure that they met the target by setting a strong roadmap on media and creative strategic optimizations. Inspecting creative was key as it was equally important to media, so they progressed with a data-led strategy for creative across the digital, always on, performance campaigns on social and display.
KFC was the first Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brand in the MENA region to utilise artificial intelligence for conceptualising creatives, taking digital advertising a step further by uncovering the key success factors behind every asset. An unprecedented understanding of creative performance enabled the team to ensure effective and efficient performance media planning, whereby the revamped creatives delivered +160% conversion rate and +73% CTR.
