Project Work

The project involved a comprehensive setup and design phase for targeted advertising campaigns across Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram):

• Audience Selection and Targeting: Based on an analysis of the niche and competitors, three distinct high-net-worth (HNWI) audience segments were developed: Men-HNWI, Women-HNWI, and Ru-HNWI.
  • Geographic Targeting: All segments were targeted within Chicago and Naperville, Illinois, including a 40 km radius around each city.
  • Demographic Targeting:
    • Age: 30–45 years for all segments.
    • Gender: Men (for Men-HNWI), Women (for Women-HNWI), and All Genders (for Ru-HNWI).
    • Language: English (for Men-HNWI and Women-HNWI), and Russian/Ukrainian (for Ru-HNWI).
    • Education: Targeting included individuals with Master’s Degrees in Business Administration (MBA) and Business Management, covering various specializations (e.g., Management & Finance, Marketing & Finance).
    • Employment/Job Titles: Detailed targeting included various high-level professional roles such as Business Owners, CEOs, Founders, Managing Directors, Angel Investors, Entrepreneurs, and specific roles in IT and creative industries.
    • Financial Indicators: Targeting included household income in the top 5%, top 10%, and top 10–25% of US postal codes.

Additional interests for HNWI segments included «Expensive Taste,» «High-net-worth individual,» and «Luxury goods (retail)».

   

• Development of Advertising Creatives:
  • Ad Copy: Unique ad texts were developed for each audience segment, emphasizing exclusivity, custom design, emotional depth, and the private studio experience. Examples include:
    • • «Realism tattoos with depth, precision, and meaning — crafted one-on-one in a calm, private studio near Chicago. Each piece is fully custom, designed to reflect your story. One client per day. No rush. No repeats. Consultations now open for select bookings.».

  • Visual Elements: Visual creatives were selected and developed, incorporating Instagram posts showcasing tattoo works and drive files, adhering to a premium, artistic, and minimalist design aesthetic with dark or muted backgrounds that highlight tattoo details and evoke emotion.

   

• Setting Up Lead Forms: Custom lead forms were created in both English and Russian to facilitate direct inquiries and consultations.
  • Headline: «Private Tattoo Consultation» / «Индивидуальная тату-консультация».
  • Subheadline: «Answer a few quick questions — and we’ll get in touch to discuss the details of your session.» / «Ответьте на несколько вопросов — и мы свяжемся с вами, чтобы обсудить детали сеанса.».
  • Questions: The forms included three questions to pre-qualify leads: preferred tattoo style (Black & Gray Realism, Color Realism, or Consultation), planned tattoo area (Arm/Shoulder, Back/Neck, Leg/Thigh, or Consultation), and existing tattoo status (Yes/No, first tattoo).
  • Thank You Screen: A custom thank-you message was configured to assure respondents of an upcoming contact to discuss further details.
