The challenge

Sittercity had already created and tested videos for parent acquisition, but engagement had not met expectations. The team wanted to explore a more native approach to TikTok and improve acquisition efficiency.

For a childcare marketplace, the message needed to give people a reason to consider the service. The documented creative direction focused on Sittercity’s dependability and modern approach.

The creative approach

Build on a clear service proposition

Following an introduction through TikTok Creative Exchange, MediaNug worked with Sittercity on campaign creative. For messaging aimed at parents, the direction was to emphasize how dependable and modern the service is.

Connect creative development to acquisition

The work addressed Sittercity’s interest in showing up more naturally on TikTok while improving the response to its advertising. The case-study recap compares the resulting TTCX assets with non-TTCX creative across acquisition cost, click cost, CPM and conversion rate.

MediaNug’s supplied TikTok Creative Exchange recap reports the following comparison with non-TTCX creative:

  • Cost per acquisition decreased by more than 50%.
  • Cost per click decreased by approximately 20%.
  • CPM decreased by approximately $1.60.
