How Auro Domus drove 57% higher search intent through full-funnel strategy
About Auro Domus
Auro Domus is Croatia’s leading company in precious metals, offering a specialized portfolio that includes Investment Gold, Gold Buyback, and services.
The Challenge
For Auro Domuss, scaling in the highly competitive Croatian investment gold market meant overcoming a heavy reliance on existing search intent. In a market where consumer education and brand authority are the only real differentiators, the brand was challenged by its own lack of presence in the early inspiration phase. To grow, they had to solve the problem of how to engage potential clients earlier in the funnel, using visual storytelling to build the trust necessary for long-term investment decisions.
The brand faced several challenges:
- Challenge of maintaining top-of-mind awareness across two distinct service pillars—Investment, Buyback—within a highly competitive market, which relies heavily on consumer education and brand authority.
- Over-reliance on existing search demand, missing potential investors in the early inspiration and discovery phases, was limiting growth potential.
- The need to measure the real-world impact of how mid-funnel video investments directly trigger active search behavior to ensure the brand remains the primary choice for consumers.
- The need for precise metrics to validate the effectiveness of creative assets in a sector with long decision-making processes.
Low Top-of-Mind Awareness
Limited Search Demand
Measurement of Brand Impact
The Approach
This full-funnel strategy was a collaborative effort between the advertiser Auro Domus, the performance-driven agency SeekandHit, and Admixer Media as the strategic partner. By transforming initial pilot insights into a comprehensive Demand Gen and Video strategy, the partnership successfully transitioned integrated high-performance creative assets with advanced measurement tools to shift the brand from capturing existing demand to actively generating it.
The setup included:
- Multimedia Integration: Utilizing a sophisticated mix of 15-30 second high-impact videos and lifestyle imagery across YouTube, Gmail, and Discover to build brand trust and allow Google’s AI to optimize creative delivery across the entire user journey.
- Targeted Brand & Search Lift Studies: Precisely measuring the impact of messaging on brand awareness and proactive search intent, providing the data-driven proof needed to validate how top and mid-funnel investments directly trigger active brand searches.
- Proactive Engagement: Moving higher up the funnel to reach a broader audience during their initial planning phases, allowing the brand to shift from merely competing for existing demand to actively creating it.
