👀 The Company: Greenly

Greenly is a pioneering climate-tech solution enabling businesses to track and reduce their carbon footprints. It's one of the Greentech leaders, who star their paid acquisition strategy with Leverage's go-to-market strategies.

🤝 The Challenge: Scaling user acquisition while optimizing cost-efficiency

Greenly set ambitious targets:

  • ◦ Achieve 100,000 downloads by July 2021.

  • ◦ Maintain a Cost Per Install (CPI) of €1-2 for basic downloads and €5-10 for active users funding green projects.

  • ◦ Expand into B2B to target companies integrating carbon tracking into their ecosystems.

To achieve this, we structured a multi-channel, data-driven user acquisition strategy.

💪 Our Approach

1 - Setting KPIs and Acquisition Strategy

Goal-Oriented Roadmap We established clear KPIs:

  • CPI and CPA targets.

  • Event tracking (downloads, banking connections, project funding).

Leveraging tools like Google Analytics, Firebase, and Google Data Studio, we ensured real-time performance monitoring.

Precision Targeting for Core Segments We crafted personas based on Greenly's ICP:

  • Individuals using cashback apps like Naturalia, Ilek, Cityscoot, Recommerce.

  • Communities integrating banking tools like Joko, Linxo.

Our look-a-like audiences strategy on Facebook ensured high relevance and engagement, while Google Ads audience layering refined contextual targeting.

2 - Launching and Optimizing Campaigns

Multi-Platform Setup

  • Google Ads: Keyword optimization and A/B testing across search/display campaigns.

  • Facebook/Instagram Ads: Leveraged pixel data for custom audiences and retargeting.

  • Apple Search Ads: Started with basic campaigns and iterated with Advanced configurations for high-intent keywords.

Iterative Optimization Campaigns were monitored daily for:

  • Audience adjustments and keyword expansions.

  • Budget reallocation based on ROI analysis.

  • Continuous ad creative testing for click-through rate (CTR) improvements.

Performance Reporting We built a custom Google Data Studio dashboard for real-time insights, enabling swift decision-making.

3 - Entering the B2B Market

Targeting Enterprise Clients We devised a campaign to position Greenly as the go-to B2B solution for companies seeking to embed carbon tracking tools. Focus industries:

  • Financial services.

  • E-commerce and marketplaces.

Lite ABM Strategy

  • Focused on 30 key accounts, deploying LinkedIn ads and email outreach campaigns.

  • Messaging highlighted integrations and ROI for companies implementing Greenly.

💰 The Results

  • +15,000 app downloads, surpassing the target by 15%.

  • Maintained a CPI of €1.9/download and €7.8/user connecting their banking accounts or funding projects.

  • 30% increase in funding green projects driven by personalized in-app messaging campaigns.

  • In the B2B space: 15% MoM growth, with 12 high-value accounts onboarded.

🍦 To Conclude

Through a combination of precise targeting, relentless optimization, and multi-channel strategies, we successfully scaled Greenly’s acquisition funnel while staying within cost-efficiency targets. This enabled Greenly to solidify its position as a leader in climate-tech for both individual and enterprise users. 🚀
