Hooters Case Study with Spear Geomarketing

How a Hooters March Madness Multichannel Ad Campaign Combined Connected TV & Mobile Channels to Score More Visits.

To build awareness and drive visits, the Spear team optimized upper and lower funnel channels with dynamic, connected TV (CTV) and mobile ads to reach key audiences and drive them to their local Hooters location.​

Our Solutions​

1. CTV, Mobile, and QR Codes: CTV generated audience awareness and engagement with non-skippable ads and scannable QR codes, while mobile ads reached users who were further along the buyer journey to find the nearest location.
   
2. Location-based Audience Targeting: Hooters zeroed in on its core audience segment, males between 18 and 35, who recently visited a Hooters location or another high-indexing brand.
   
3. Retail Block Targeting: This tactic enabled the team to reach and influence audiences near Hooters in real time.
