Etsy’s Cyber Sales Event UGC Ads Campaign Lights Up TikTok & Instagram
Expanding upon a successful 2021 TikTok campaign, Etsy's strategic move to incorporate Instagram amplified its reach and sophistication. This expansion, while promising, posed novel challenges necessitating close collaboration between Etsy, its influencer agency, and the Awin affiliate platform.
The project encompassed identifying new Etsy creators on these platforms, educating them on affiliate integration, and launching paid social campaigns to extend their content to a hyper-targeted audience.
Through strategic direction, expertise, and adept use of technology, this multi-channel strategy flourished. Over the 12-day campaign, 17 videos from Etsy creators were showcased on TikTok and Instagram, accumulating nearly 12.5 million views, 380k engagements, and almost 2.5k sales, resulting in a remarkable $175k in revenue. This achievement underscores the campaign's mastery of influencer marketing and its capacity to drive impressive results across diverse platforms.
