Challenges

Mindvalley’s customer journey required extensive research before purchase. Our goal was to simplify this process and guide users through a structured funnel, divided into:

  • Lead Generation
  • Remarketing

Stage 1: Lead Generation

We targeted three groups:

  • Self-Improvement Enthusiasts
  • Personal Growth Seekers
  • Individuals Exploring Hidden Potential
Mindvalley audiences

Creatives & Messaging

  • Focused on self-improvement, growth, and personal transformation.
  • Designed to spark engagement and encourage learning about Mindvalley.

Channels Used

  • Meta Ads: Custom and Lookalike Audiences.
  • Google Ads: YouTube & Display networks for broader awareness.

Stage 2: Retargeting

Once leads were captured, we nurtured them into paying customers through segmentation:

  • Leads (Last 7 Days) - offered a 20% discount for immediate conversion.
  • Leads (Over 7 Days) - directed to full-price memberships, with additional funnel engagement if they didn’t convert.

  • Leveraged Meta Custom Audiences for maximum efficiency.
  • Allocated more resources to Meta than Google due to stronger performance.

Key Takeaways

1. Optimise for Purchases: Even lead campaigns should focus on high-value users.

2. Dynamic Creatives Work: Testing variations consistently improved results.

3. Lookalike Audiences Are Key:

  • 1% lookalikes for large markets (e.g., US).
  • 3-5% lookalikes for smaller markets.

4. Platform Synergy Boosts Performance: Meta and Google Ads together had a multiplier effect.

5. Competitor-Based Targeting: Targeting competitor audiences was highly effective.

6. Micro-Conversions Matter: Tracking user milestones (e.g., watching 30s of a masterclass) improved retargeting success.
