Kingdom Digital Solutions Sdn. Bhd. : Making Brands More Relevant, Relatable, and Revolutionary
Ryan Ong, Managing Partner2020 was a bad year for businesses of all sizes, the smallest of businesses were among the worst hit. Technology giants like Facebook and Google came forward to donate ad credits to such companies. However, how do you use these credits when you know nothing about making ads? This is where Grab stepped in, empowering the small, local businesses in six Southeast Asian countries with free advertisements within the app. The ad-tech company developed a bespoke automated ad builder that required “Zero Ad Building Effort” from small businesses, regardless of what they sold or made.
With data automation at the core, the ad builder worked like Lego, automatically pulling information like logos, taglines, photos, locations, merchant names and more, that small businesses submitted to Grab. The ad builder also brought in a creative automation aspect that allows users to choose from various color options, graphic patterns, layouts, mastheads, and more to create ads that meet their specifications. Bringing dynamic radius targeting to the table, ads were served to users with a 12 km radius from considering the opening and closing hours of each shop. Next involved spreading awareness and action at scale through emails that were sent to GrabFood, GrabMart, and GrabPay for highlighting this initiative and allowing small businesses to get increased exposure on the app. The last leg of the program comprised of storytelling—showcasing some of the most interesting real-life stories posted on the company’s Facebook and Instagram handles and YouTube channels. All in all, this impressive feat wouldn’t have been possible without creating personalized ads within a short time frame.
Kingdom Digital—a multi-award-winning social and content agency— was up for the challenge. Kingdom Digital’s proprietary delivery system Digital Creative Automation (DCA) was instrumental to speeding up the creative production process. The DCA system automated the variants adaptation using the information available from Grab’s merchants.
Leveraging our proprietary delivery system Digital Creative Automation (DCA) to speed up the creative production process by automating the variants adaptation based on information that was available from Grab’s merchants. As a result, Kingdom Digital helped Grab in producing 7,000 units of creative assets within just two weeks. The collaboration also led to 80 percent reduction in required resources and 80 percent savings in the overall campaign costs. To summarize, DCA helped Grab seamlessly deploy personalized digital ads in six countries during lockdown. “There are plenty of creative automation solutions available today.
