The digital marketing landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with AI and automation fundamentally reshaping how businesses connect with consumers. In today's data-rich environment, simply collecting information is no longer sufficient—brands must leverage centralized, actionable insights to drive meaningful engagement. As Kate Adams, Google’s Business Solutions and Insights Director, emphasizes, "The quality of your data and how you apply it to create more helpful marketing will determine how you're perceived as a brand." This shift demands a unified infrastructure where insights are democratized across organizations, enabling real-time decision-making powered by AI.
Personalization has also transitioned from a buzzword to a baseline expectation. Advanced tools like Google’s Performance Max now enable dynamic creative optimization, allowing brands to tailor messaging based on contextual data—weather, geography, or search trends—to deliver emotionally resonant experiences. Meanwhile, the rise of emotional storytelling, exemplified by AI-generated content like László Gaál’s Porsche homage video, underscores the growing importance of creative that builds deeper connections.
B&B Hotels faced intense competition in the travel industry, where attracting new guests required scalable, data-driven campaigns. Recognizing the need for a robust performance marketing setup, the hotel chain collaborated with their agency, the Google Ads team, and Google SA360 experts to revamp their digital strategy. Eva-Maria Katterfeld, Team Lead Digital Performance Central & Northern Europe at B&B Hotels, emphasized the goal: "We want the best possible performance marketing setup—scalable, easy to manage, and capable of supporting international campaigns across multiple search engines."
The transformation began with the integration of Search Ads 360 (SA360), a platform that streamlined campaign management and enabled cross-market coordination. To enhance reach and efficiency, B&B Hotels adopted AI-powered bidding strategies, including value-based bidding, which dynamically adjusted bids to maximize Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). This approach leveraged Google's machine learning to optimize for conversion value, ensuring ads targeted high-intent users. Complementing this, Floodlight tracking was implemented to capture post-click user behavior, providing granular insights for audience segmentation and campaign performance measurement.
Another critical component was the deployment of a feed management tool, which automated the creation of ad creatives by structuring hotel data (e.g., amenities, pricing, and locations) into tailored ad texts. This ensured consistency across 200+ hotels in eight markets, while reducing manual errors. The campaigns were further refined using SA360 bidding plans and audience signals derived from Floodlight data, all optimized toward a target ROAS.
Fa Yi Gold Vault, a 40-year-old safe deposit box brand, faced significant challenges due to geographic limitations and an aging customer base. Traditional marketing methods—such as in-store flyers, corporate briefings, and home visits to loyal customers—were no longer effective in reaching broader audiences or competing with digital-native brands. Recognizing the need for change, the company partnered with Google to leverage data-driven strategies through Google Ads and Google Analytics (GA4). These tools revealed untapped opportunities, particularly among young professionals and tech-savvy consumers aged around 30, who were previously overlooked. By shifting from a B2B-focused approach to targeted B2C campaigns, Fa Yi Gold Vault optimized its ad placements and refined its consumer profiles based on demographic insights.
To revitalize its brand image, Fa Yi collaborated with Marvel and Disney IPs, introducing modern, youth-oriented designs for its affordable fireproof vaults. This strategy not only expanded its audience but also repositioned the brand as innovative and approachable. The integration of Google Ads keywords like "home safe deposit boxes" and "fireproof vaults for apartments" further enhanced visibility among potential buyers. As a result, online-driven customer interactions surged from 5% to 50%, breaking geographic barriers. Revenue grew 3x year-over-year, while customer decision time dropped 75%—from 40 minutes to just 10 minutes—thanks to streamlined digital touchpoints like product videos and e-documentation. This transformation solidified Fa Yi Gold Vault’s position as a market leader, proving the power of data-backed digital strategies in revitalizing legacy brands.
Marketing in 2025 will be defined by hyper-personalization and emotional engagement, driven by AI-powered tools like smart bidding and keyword research to optimize ad relevance. Topkee’s Google Ads services leverage contextual data—such as user behavior tracked via TTO tools and TM settings—to dynamically adjust campaigns for weather, location, and browsing intent. Our creative production team combines AI-generated content with human design to craft emotionally resonant ads, while remarketing strategies use attribution analysis to segment audiences and deliver personalized messaging. For example, Demand Gen campaigns can integrate Google Display Ads with tailored visuals, ensuring ads align with user interests. By merging data automation (e.g., conversion event tracking) with emotional storytelling, Topkee helps brands move beyond functional messaging to build deeper connections, ultimately enhancing ROI through precise keyword targeting and attribution remarketing.
Fa Yi Gold Vault’s physical stores faced inherent geographic constraints, limiting its ability to reach broader audiences. To overcome this, the brand leveraged Google Ads with strategic keyword targeting (e.g., "fireproof safe," "home vault," "best safe deposit box") to expand beyond local markets. By analyzing GA4 data, Fa Yi refined its audience segmentation, focusing on demographics like white-collar professionals and engineers aged 30+, who showed unexpected interest in safety products. Collaborations with KOLs further bridged generational gaps, introducing the brand to younger consumers through relatable content.
The shift to data-driven marketing yielded transformative results: 50% of new customers now discover Fa Yi Gold Vault online, a stark increase from just 5% pre-digital transformation. This surge in digital engagement not only amplified brand awareness but also drove a 3x revenue growth in 2022, solidifying its market leadership. The integration of digital channels—from targeted ads to KOL partnerships—enabled Fa Yi to transcend physical boundaries and cater to diverse consumer needs efficiently.
