Campaign Breakdown

In a Whopping, Sizzling collaboration, SoudCoh partnered with Sportsal to launch an electrified lead‑generation campaign that roared onto the scene. The goal? Drive tonnes of qualified Meta leads via eye‑catching creative, cross‑platform placements, and smart messaging.

Execution was mega‑charged—from crafting zesty primary text and headline combos, to layering message templates that resonated across Instagram Feeds, Reels, Facebook Stories, and Marketplace. The assets featured bold visuals of fan‑favourite kits, paired with irresistible “Sign Up” calls to action.

Outcomes were equally jaw‑dropping: across dozens of active ads, Sportsal garnered hundreds of leads at a stellar average cost per lead well below benchmarks, with consistent performance across formats—Feed, Stories, Reels, Marketplace. The lead flow was booming, the message crisp, and the machine humming with performance. A hefty campaign success delivered by SoudCoh’s zesty approach and razor‑sharp strategy.

The Problem: “When Great Kits Need Great Reach”

Before the campaign kicked off, Sportsal faced a few key challenges in elevating awareness and capturing high‑quality leads—all at scale.With the New Zealand housing market in a tailspin of rate changes, Sanjeev needed a sharp pivot. Here’s what we were dealing with:

Sportsal had handcrafted brilliant content and an irresistible offer around their kits—but needed strategic creative and messaging to boost visibility, engagement and lead capture across Meta platforms. Here’s what stood in the way:

Fragmented Performance Across Placements

Without tailored adaptations, visuals and copy rarely performed equally across Instagram Reels, Facebook Feed, Stories and Marketplace. Some placements under‑delivered, raising average cost per lead or volume.

Message Consistency and Clarity

Without a unified messaging framework, primary texts, headlines and CTA language varied—diluting impact and confusing audiences about what action to take next.

Creative Fatigue and Variation

Over‑reliance on single creative assets risked ad fatigue. Sportsal needed engaging variations that felt fresh and kept attention.
These challenges threatened to stall growth. SoudCoh stepped in with a Roaring solution: organised, optimised creatives and messaging across placements—transforming fragmented performance into a vibrant, unified campaign that delivered.

Key Elements of the Marketing Strategy: “Multiplatform Creative Engine”

Launching an electrified campaign meant syncing strategy across visuals, messaging and platforms. Here’s how SoudCoh powered up performance:

Overview:
The strategy hinged on three core pillars: consistent brand storytelling, deployment across diverse placements, and iterative optimisation. SoudCoh aligned kit visuals with punchy “Sign Up” CTAs, structured primary text and headline templates—creating a tight message stack. Then, the team tailored each creative version for its placement: vertical formats for Stories and Reels, square/crop optimised for Feed and Marketplace. Strategic messaging variations—highlighting benefits such as “Own the kit fans envy” or “Get your club‑ready jersey now”—added zest and relevance. Paired with a highest‑volume bid strategy targeting Meta leads, the campaign built momentum, delivered remarkable reach and landed cost‑efficient, mega‑relevant leads.

Unified Message Stack

Primary text, headlines, CTAs and message templates were neatly organised—maintaining clarity and brand voice across all ads. This ensured audiences everywhere received the same irresistible invitation: kit lovers, get on board.

Placement‑Optimised Creative Variants

SoudCoh intelligently adapted the kit visuals for varied placements—vertical formats for Stories/Reels, clean-bordered versions for Feeds, and attention‑grabbing layouts for Marketplace. This meant each ad looked native and performed well in its context.

Template‑Driven Copy Freedom

With message frameworks in place, new copy variants—like “Your club, your colours”, or “Sign up and score exclusive offers”—could be produced fast and tested quickly, keeping the campaign fresh and responsive.

Highest‑Volume Bid Strategy with Refinement

Combining a bid strategy focused on volume with measured creative variations allowed the campaign to deliver consistent lead flow at an impressive average cost, making the campaign both punchy and budget‑savvy.

Solutions: “Creative Sync, Placement‑Perfect”

SoudCoh delivered a zesty suite of solutions that breathed life into Sportsal’s campaign. From smart creative tweaks to streamlined messaging, the solutions were integrated and performance‑driven—landing Sportsal right in front of conversion‑ready audiences at scale.

Creative Variants for Placement Fit

Custom‑cropped visuals ensured each ad placement looked sleek and native. Stories and Reels got vertical format cuts; Feeds got square‑optimised visuals; Marketplace ads had clean, attention‑grabbing layouts. Result? Seamless synergy across placements and stronger engagement.

Message Template Stack

A layered messaging system—primary text, headline, and CTA parameters—made creative iteration fast and effective. Variants like “Score your club kit now” tested against “Own the match‑day look” allowed fast performance insights and upgrades.

Cross‑Platform Preview Testing

SoudCoh reviewed how ads would appear across all placements, ensuring that design elements, text overlay, CTAs and visuals were on‑point everywhere before publishing—minimising surprises and maximising effectiveness.

Results and Impact: “Leads That Soar Across Platforms”

The campaign didn’t just perform—it exploded with results that turned heads. SoudCoh’s meticulous integration and creative alignment led to consistent, booming lead generation at outstanding rates and across every placement.

Scale of Leads

The campaign delivered hundreds of Meta leads in a single ad set—from a high of 316 through varied creatives to smaller variants—resulting in approximately 963 total campaign‑level leads. That’s massive traction from a unified rollout.

Low Cost‑Per‑Lead

Average lead costs ranged between approximately £4 to £5.70 per Meta lead, with some high‑performing variants achieving around £4.07—below typical thresholds and indicating superb cost‑efficiency.

Consistent Placement Performance

Despite dozens of active ad variants, reach remained strong—some creatives reached over 60,000 people, with nearly 250,000 impressions across the campaign. That broad exposure plus steady cost per lead showed placement optimisation worked wonders.
SoudCoh’s creative execution and sharp strategy turned platform‑specific inconsistencies into unified, stellar performance—driving broad awareness and a hefty flow of quality leads, all while respecting budget and keeping lead cost in check.

Key Lessons from the Strategy

What did we learn from this electrified campaign? Plenty. Here's what really drove success when merging high‑impact creative, smart messaging, and precise placement tailoring.

Consistency Wins

A unified message stack across placements ensures audiences always receive a clear and powerful invitation—no confusion, just conversion.

Creative Adaptation Matters

Tailoring visuals to each format keeps them native and relevant—which dramatically improves engagement.

Template Systems Drive Efficiency

Having message frameworks in place allows rapid copy iteration and testing—keeping performance sharp and fresh without reinventing the wheel.

Cross‑Platform Review Guards Quality

Previewing creatives across placements early prevents misalignments and saves time—ensuring what audiences see is clean, compelling, and effective.

Growth Onwards

What’s next after this roaring win? Here’s a roadmap with bold and actionable ideas for Sportsal to crank growth even higher.

Dynamic Creative Adaptation

Move toward real-time optimisation—automatically generating new headlines or image overlays guided by performance data.

Look‑Alike Audience Expansion

Use the strong lead base to fuel look‑alike targeting, tapping into new fans likely to convert with similar cost efficiency.

Seasonal/Themed Refreshes

Introduce limited‑edition kit variants or seasonal-themed messaging (“Season Kick‑Off Collection,” “Final Match Countdown”) to spark excitement and renew engagement.

A/B Test Ad Formats

Experiment with new formats—such as instant experiences or story sequences—that layer kit storytelling across slide‑through creative.

Conclusion

SoudCoh’s partnership with Sportsal delivered a mighty, multi‑platform masterpiece. Through cohesive messaging templates, placement‑specific creative, and smart bidding, the campaign not only drove hundreds of leads at a low cost per head—it told a compelling, unified brand story across Meta’s ecosystem. The results were booming: solid lead scale, consistent performance, and clear proof that when creative strategy and placement finesse align, standout outcomes follow.

Looking ahead, the blueprint is clear: lean into dynamic creative optimisation, expand look‑alike outreach, and refresh seasonal messaging to keep the engine humming. SoudCoh’s craftsmanship didn’t just solve Sportsal’s challenges—it built a platform for continuous, electrified growth.
