The event

Dublin Beer Festival
was coming.

A long-awaited summer event in Dublin bringing the best national and international breweries. The requirement was to build a website from scratch, integrate it with a ticketing system, and build digital campaigns that would drive ticket sales.

We had 8 to 10 weeks available with a modest budget and a big target to make it happen.

"I started working on Dublin Beer Festival from scratch. I turned an initial idea into a marketing and content strategy with no available past data at hand."

"Not a single euro went live until every pixel, event, and conversion was verified."

Rule #1

Tracking first.
Always.

Before touching the budget, we built the full measurement stack and marketing infrastructure. From Meta Pixel, Google Tag, and conversion events to UTM governance,  everything tracked from day one.

Why it matters

Flying blind costs more than any setup time. The data collected in week one funded every data-driven decision in the following weeks.

The strategy

Two channels. One funnel.

Meta Ads

Find the right audience.
Then convert it.

Building  interest-based cold audiences was key to success. From craft beer to food festivals and local events, the right audience engaged with our ads, we flipped the switch to retargeting.

"Cold audiences find us, whereas warm audiences buy from us. We instructed META to handle both according to engagement responses

Google Ads

Catching intent rather than chasing it!

Search campaigns targeted branded and event-adjacent keywords. When potential attendees searched, we were right there with a clear path to purchase on Eventbrite.

The data
said pivot.

14 days out from the event, the signals were clear. Retargeting was outperforming cold ad sets. Because search intent was spiking, we moved fast!

€1 in. €15.50 out.

Every euro spent on ads returned €15.50 in ticket revenue. That's not a lucky campaign — that's a system built on tracking, testing, and smart allocation.

Every number

tells the same story.

Only 6.71% of revenue went to ads. That means 93.29% went straight to the client. Precision over volume — every time.

The takeaway

Track right.
Pivot fast.
Win bigger.

This campaign worked because we built the infrastructure before the spend, read the data as it came in, and weren't afraid to shift budget when the signals pointed somewhere better.

No guesswork. No set-it-and-forget-it. Just clear strategy, clean data, and fast decisions.
