The Project

To align with Drop Dead’s discovery goals, Fenti developed and managed a series of Google Ads campaigns. This included:

Performance Max campaigns

We utilised Performance Max to dynamically showcase Drop Dead products across Google’s full network, ensuring the brand appeared in front of the right audiences, at the right time.

Localised Campaign for Sheffield

A dedicated local campaign was launched to attract people to Sheffield and encourage visits to The Mortuary, Drop Dead’s flagship retail experience. Using Google Maps advertising, this campaign strengthened the link between the brand’s digital presence and its physical location.

Audience Targeting and Segmentation

Advanced audience signals were implemented to refine targeting, ensuring ads reached potential customers who were most likely to connect with Drop Dead’s bold and distinctive style.

Ongoing Optimisation

Continuous testing, refinement, and ad copy updates were carried out to maximise engagement and ensure campaigns reflected Drop Dead’s unique tone of voice.
