ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Drives High-Quality Leads at Lower Costs with Taboola

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance was looking to drive High Net Worth Individual (HNI) leads for their Term Insurance product. They’d already been running multiple campaigns across channels like Facebook, Google
Discovery, Amazon, and GDN. But now they wanted to launch a new acquisition campaign with a clear goal: achieve 1X ROI. And they were ready to test new channels to make it happen.

That’s where Taboola came into play.

As a leading content recommendation platform, Taboola helps advertisers reach 500 million daily active users across a network of 9,000 publisher properties. With Taboola, ICICI was able to target audiences on top publisher sites in India like NDTV.com.

To engage these customers, ICICI created Image Ads of headlines, visuals, and CTAs promoting their Term Insurance plans. Readers saw the ads while they were already consuming publisher content and ready to engage with something new. Once they clicked the “Get a Quote” CTA, they were taken to a landing page for ICICI’s promoted product. There, they could learn more about potential plans and use the Term Insurance Calculator to check their customized premium.

Taboola Achieves 40% Lower CPL Than Google Discovery

ICICI also activated the Taboola Pixel to retarget users who’d previously engaged with their website content. Since these people had already demonstrated interest in the brand, they were more likely to convert. With just a simple line of code on the advertiser’s site, Taboola could automatically identify and target these high-quality users with native ads.

The Taboola account management team was available every step of the way to provide real-time metrics and creative recommendations in order to improve campaign performance at scale.

As a result, the campaign successfully achieved a 30% increase in leads month-over-month, contributing to incremental growth in HNI leads. ICICI also saw a 2X improvement in ROI quarter-over-quarter and 50% decrease in CPL across platform and CRM compared to the start of their campaign. Compared to other channels, Taboola achieved a 30-40% lower CPL than Google Discovery and 3X higher ROI than GDN.

ICICI now plans to expand their relationship with Taboola by testing new targeting capabilities and leveraging first-party data to optimize campaign efficiency.
