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.
