The Savvy Solution
Based on analysis of color and motion trends using Tail’s past campaign data as well as aggregate industry insights, Savvy diversified Tail’s ad content and showcased their products across a broad set of environments and lifestyles to boost emotional resonance.
Focusing on Tail’s latest tennis wear line, Savvy leveraged it’s dynamic render technology to design a video ad blueprint and generate a range of permutations featuring different color themes, fashion styles and messaging to test in market within days.
​
When tested against Tail’s static image ads across the same spend, these video ad variants yielded a 5x increase on impressions plus a 2x ROAS lift.
Similar tests were performed on Tail’s golf wear ads, this time leveraging UGC, testimonials, and outfits portrayed in various lifestyle settings informed by Savvy’s analysis of top-performing content from Tail’s static ads.

Over 5 weeks, Savvy earned Tail Activewear a 2x improvement on their purchase ROAS benchmark, a 129% decrease in cost per purchase, and a 5x increase in impressions for the same spend, proving the effectiveness of video over static ads.
