The WRU manages the national game for a rugby-mad nation. It oversees 320 member clubs, the Welsh national team, as well as national leagues and cups.

The Challenge

The WRU approached us with the challenge of increasing ticket sales for the Under Armour Autumn International Series. In its first foray into paid digital media, the organisation trusted Liberty to bring home the win.

Our Approach

As part of our multi-channel approach to drive ticket sales, we used Facebook ads to appeal to the many personas across Wales that had an interest in Welsh Rugby. We created and implemented a strategy that:

• Used WRU data to target rugby fans who had previously attended games.
• Created detailed custom audience to find people who had never attended before.
• Created bespoke messaging for each target persona.
• Targeted Welsh ex-pat communities outside of Wales.
• Split tested imagery and messaging to better understand what resonated best with each target audience.
