What do these brands all have in common? They are using the Skai Infinity Suite to their advantage to seize opportunity in the digital landscape and meet their business goals.
The Honest Company, the winner of the Video category, used Skai’s advanced social optimization techniques across Facebook and Instagram to drive a 300% increase in new paid subscriptions, with the majority of these conversions being driven from Instagram’s new 60-second video ads.
iProspect and Hilton secured a victory in the Search category by leveraging Skai’s budgeting and forecasting technology to manage multiple profiles against a single goal. This technology, dubbed “Cross-Profile Halogen”, allowed Hilton to maximize revenue holistically across all properties and markets generating a 9% increase in ROI across a group of profiles.
