Last week, I had the privilege of consulting with an eight-figure language platform company on their Facebook advertising strategy in the global market. They were focused on increasing awareness, but we identified a common problem: their campaigns lacked engagement and link clicks.
I wanted to take this moment to come up with a comprehensive guide on the best practices to consider in scaling a brand awareness campaign.
How to Scale Up a Brand Awareness Campaign
Crafting Engaging Copywriting
One major issue many brands face in global markets is using generic copywriting that doesn’t resonate with their audience. Phrases like “Do you want to speak English fluently?” might be common, but they don’t drive action. Your copy needs to highlight your unique selling points and incorporate SEO keywords that address your audience’s pain points.
- Incorporate SEO Keywords: Use trending and seasonal keywords relevant to your audience.
- Highlight Pain Points: Address specific challenges your audience faces.
- Focus on Conversion: Ensure your copy not only raises awareness but also drives engagement.
Creating Impactful Ad Creatives
Many brands create ads that are too promotional, leading to minimal engagement. To capture attention, consider using pattern interrupts in your ad creatives—unexpected elements that make users stop scrolling. Combine this with SEO-driven copy to ensure your ads resonate with your audience while adhering to your brand guidelines.

- Use Pattern Interrupts: Include visuals that stand out.
- SEO-Driven Copy: Integrate valuable keywords into your ad text.
- Align with Brand Guidelines: Ensure your ad’s messaging is consistent with your organic content.
Optimizing Your CTA Links
Choosing the right link for your CTA is critical. Many brands simply link to their homepage, which might be okay for awareness, but it won’t drive high link clicks or engagement. Instead, consider linking to a specific landing page or funnel that is more likely to convert.
- Use Landing Pages: Landing pages inform the audience or customers with information directly related to the campaign. Link to a landing page to increase conversion rates.
- Avoid Cold Pages: A boring summary of what you have on offer will not drive conversion. Direct users to pages with persuasive copy rather than generic app pages.
Advanced Targeting Techniques
Generic targeting can lead to wasted ad spend. Instead of targeting broad audiences, segment your audience based on their interests, behaviors, and psychographics. This allows you to tailor your ads more precisely, increasing the chances of engagement.
- Segment by Interest and Behavior: Create detailed audience segments to increase engagement.
- Consider Psychographics: Understand your audience's emotions and pain points. Speak to them through your ad creative by addressing their needs instead of simply talking about the services you offer.
Effective Retargeting Strategies
Retargeting is often overlooked in awareness campaigns, but it’s a powerful tool. By retargeting users who have engaged with your content or visited your website, you can increase your link clicks and conversions without spending significantly more.
- Use Video Views and Engagement: Retarget based on user interactions.
- Include Website Visitors: Target users who have already shown interest in your brand. Adding Facebook Pixel for instance, helps you keep track who and how many interacted with your ad creative.
- Email lists, followers, and more: Your email list and followers are worth retargeting too. Check in with them every now and with content you think they’d like based on their interests and online activity.
Scaling a brand awareness campaign doesn’t mean settling for just impressions. By focusing on engaging copywriting, impactful ad creatives, optimized CTA links, advanced targeting, and effective retargeting, you can significantly increase your engagement, link clicks, and conversions.
Apply these strategies, and you too can run awareness campaigns that not only raise brand visibility but also drive tangible results.
