Adidas SS25 – Driving Measurable Store Traffic with Location Intelligence

A two-month performance-driven digital campaign delivering over 4 million impressions, 6,134 attributed store visits, and a +33% higher store visitation rate among exposed users, supported by a 134.52 Attribution Lift Index above retail benchmarks.

Challenge

Adidas aimed to measure the real-world impact of its SS25 “The Original” campaign beyond traditional digital KPIs. The key challenge was to understand whether digital media exposure translated into measurable in-store traffic and to quantify incremental footfall driven by the campaign.

The objective was to connect online engagement with offline behavior while benchmarking performance against Turkey’s retail sector standards.

Strategy & Approach

Black [C] deployed a performance-led digital media strategy combining high-impact rich media formats with inbuilt map integrations to drive store visits. The campaign ran across March and April 2025, leveraging:

  • Geo-enabled creatives directing users to physical stores
  • Exposed vs. Control group measurement methodology
  • Attribution Lift Index (ALI) modeling
  • Footfall Rate (FTR) comparison
  • Audience and device-level segmentation analysis

The approach ensured measurable incrementality by comparing users exposed to ads against a statistically matched control group.

Solution & Activation

The campaign delivered:

  • 4+ million impressions
  • 9,000+ clicks
  • 6,134 attributed store visits

Exposed users demonstrated a 0.588% Footfall Rate versus 0.437% for the control group, resulting in a +33% higher likelihood of visiting stores after ad exposure.

The Attribution Lift Index remained consistently above 130 across both months:

  • March ALI: 133.41
  • April ALI: 135.76
  • Total Campaign ALI: 134.52

This performance exceeded Turkey’s retail benchmark (132.63), positioning the campaign above sector average  

Mobile rich media formats (320×480) with map integrations generated the highest engagement, with CTR reaching 0.47% and the “Superstar” creative achieving 0.353% CTR  

Footfall Impact

  • 6,134 incremental store visits attributed to digital exposure
  • +33% higher visitation probability among exposed users
  • ALI improvement from March to April (+4.5%)

Audience Insights

  • Strongest response from 25–35 age segment
  • High engagement among Apple, Samsung, and Oppo device users
  • Istiklal and Teşvikiye locations delivered highest offline ROI
  • Majority of conversions occurred within the first 3 days of exposure

Brand Lift Study (LoopMe x Black [C])

  • +2.4% Ad Recall uplift
  • +13.1% Purchase Consideration uplift
  • Strongest recall in 25–34 age group
  • Statistically supported results (~85% confidence level)  

Key Learnings / Impact

  • Digital media can drive measurable offline retail impact when paired with location intelligence.
  • Map-integrated rich media significantly improves both CTR and store visitation rates.
  • Younger professional segments (25–34) showed the strongest behavioral shift.
  • Sustained media presence increased ALI month over month, reinforcing campaign momentum.

The campaign demonstrated how data-driven location intelligence and incrementality modeling can bridge the gap between digital exposure and physical store performance.

This is not a showcase. It’s a laboratory.

At Black C, every case study is more than a campaign recap — it is a controlled experiment where data science, technology, and real-world behavior converge.

We don’t plan media on assumptions, but on measurement.We don’t define audiences by proxies, but by verified signals.And we don’t measure success through vanity metrics, but through real business impact.

Each project is built on location intelligence, scaled with advanced technology, and validated by measurable physical-world outcomes.
Our mission is clear: move advertising beyond intuition and transform it into a measurable, accountable, and performance-driven discipline.
