About Client:

Kahoot!, a global leader in educational games, launched Kahoot! Kids to offer fun, engaging learning opportunities for young children. With the summer season approaching, Kahoot! sought to position its new product as the perfect solution to maintain kids’ learning momentum through interactive play. I was brought in to design and execute a multi-channel paid social media campaign promoting Kahoot! Kids for summer learning to parents and caregivers.

Challenge:

The summer season presents both an opportunity and a challenge for educational products, as parents look for ways to keep their kids engaged while balancing play and learning. Kahoot! faced several hurdles:

  • Cutting through the noise of other summer activities and competing educational products.
  • Targeting parents of young children effectively across social media platforms.
  • Promoting Kahoot! Kids as both fun and educational, driving conversions while maintaining brand trust.
  • Optimizing campaign performance within a short seasonal timeframe.

Goal:

The campaign’s primary goal was to raise awareness and drive sign-ups for Kahoot! Kids by positioning it as the perfect tool for summer learning. Specific objectives included:

  • Increasing downloads and subscriptions of Kahoot! Kids during the summer months.
  • Building brand awareness among parents of young children.
  • Boosting engagement with content focused on fun learning activities.
  • Lowering customer acquisition costs (CAC) while maximizing reach and ROI.

Strategy:

1. Multi-Channel Campaign Design

  • Launched a multi-platform campaign across:
    • Facebook & Instagram: Targeting parents of young children, with content highlighting fun and family activities.
    • Pinterest: Leveraging the platform’s popularity with parents for summer activities and learning resources.
    • YouTube Ads: Featuring engaging videos that showcased the product’s interactive features.
  • Developed creative content specific to each platform, including:
    • Video carousels and short reels showing kids enjoying summer learning with Kahoot! Kids.
    • Infographics with educational tips for parents, promoting Kahoot! Kids as a fun way to prevent summer learning loss.

2. Audience Targeting and Segmentation

  • Built custom audience segments focusing on:
    • Parents of children aged 3-8.
    • Parents interested in educational games, summer camps, and learning apps.
    • Lookalike audiences of Kahoot! users from previous campaigns.
  • Implemented geo-targeting to focus on key regions with higher demand for summer programs and educational products.

3. Ad Copy and Creative Optimization

  • Created engaging ad copy with messaging like, “Make summer fun AND educational with Kahoot! Kids!” and “Supercharge your child’s learning this summer!”
  • Produced short video ads featuring families using Kahoot! Kids during the summer.
  • Designed A/B tests for creative variations (thumbnails, copy, CTAs) to identify top-performing assets.
  • Integrated clear CTAs like “Download Now” and “Start Learning Today” to drive immediate action.

4. Campaign Monitoring and Optimization

  • Monitored performance in real time across Meta Ads, Pinterest Ads, and Google Ads dashboards.
  • Optimized ad spend based on platform performance, reallocating budgets to the highest-converting channels.
  • Implemented dynamic retargeting to remind parents who had visited the website or interacted with ads to download Kahoot! Kids.
