The challenge

Where we started

Cadogan Hall needed to protect its classical music audience while attracting younger audiences to its non-classical programming, all on a budget of £4.7k across nine months.

The goals

What we focused on

Protect existing audiences

Grow without alienating the classical audience.

Beat industry ROAS

Achieve above-benchmark return on ad spend.

Reach Millennials & Gen Z

Drive measurable awareness among younger audiences.

The strategy

Data-led, Meta-only

  1. ✦

    Conversion-first campaigns

    We replaced generic historical campaigns with data-driven, Meta-exclusive conversion tactics.

  2. ✦

    Spend timed to buying behaviour

    Budget concentrated in the November holiday-booking window, with scarcity-led messaging for last-minute buyers.

  3. ✦

    Creative built on contrast

    The venue's intimacy set against high-energy modern performers to capture intent-driven audiences.

The execution

How we did it

Individual show budgets of £200–£500 were deployed around peak purchase windows, weighted towards show announcements, with reserve budget held for the critical 48–72 hour buying window. The result was an average cost per acquisition of £3.43.
