Project Overview

• Client: Deutsche Welle (In partnership with Scroll Media Network) / Eco India Series

• Objective: Scale multi-market distribution and viewership continuity for a flagship environmental video series while preserving editorial integrity.

• Budget: EUR 10,000

• Channels: Google Display Network (Contextual Display), Programmatic Video, YouTube, Meta (Social Amplification)

Campaign Challenge Promoting a multi-episode video series across platforms created significant user journey friction. Social platform link restrictions were causing high audience drop-off before viewers ever reached the full episodes.

Strategic & Creative Execution

• User Journey Optimization: Redesigned the campaign funnel by shifting the primary acquisition model from restricted social links to direct, contextual display placements that guided high-intent viewers straight to full episodes.

• Playlist-Driven Engagement: Engineered a streamlined user flow that routed traffic directly into curated YouTube episode playlists, encouraging continuous, binge-worthy viewing sessions.

• Creative & Narrative Alignment: Developed precise thematic briefing guidelines for video promos, collaborating directly with post-production teams to ensure consistent visual and narrative continuity across all teaser assets.

• Synchronized Brand Recall: Executed a parallel social media strategy alongside display ads to reinforce series messaging and maintain long-term audience retention.

Campaign Impact & Results

• Massive Viewership Scale: Delivered 4,497,350 total verified views across platforms for Eco India Season 13.

• Funnel Friction Reduction: Dramatically reduced viewer drop-off rates by eliminating multi-step social redirects.

• Enhanced Content Discovery: Optimized viewing mechanics to drive sustained, consecutive-episode viewing sessions.

Key Takeaway Seamless audience routing is just as crucial as video production quality. When creative promotion aligns with intuitive user navigation, campaigns turn casual viewers into dedicated, multi-episode audiences.
