Our approach

What we did.

01

We ran a boosted Instagram strategy built around Crosstown's best content, putting budget behind the posts most likely to drive reach and interaction across London.

02

We aligned ads to seasonal moments and product launches, from Easter and Veganuary to the NYX collaboration and student season, refreshing creative regularly to keep engagement high and avoid fatigue.

03

We focused targeting on Instagram and the audiences most likely to respond, including a September student campaign, and continually optimised creative and spend against performance.

The outcome
