The Challenge

A Premium Design Expo Needing Rapid Ticket Sales Volume in a Short Window

Design Mumbai needed to sell a high volume of tickets to architects, interior designers, and design-conscious homeowners within a tight pre-event window. Reaching this specific professional and premium consumer audience at scale required precision targeting beyond generic event advertising.

The design and architecture audience spans both B2B (practising architects and designers attending for professional development and networking) and B2C (affluent homeowners interested in design inspiration) requiring distinctly different creative and targeting approaches running simultaneously.

Separating B2B and B2C Audiences Multiplied Total Ticket Volume

Running a single generic campaign for both architects and design-interested homeowners was diluting message relevance for both groups. Separating into dedicated B2B and B2C campaigns with tailored creative significantly improved conversion rates across both segments and was the primary driver behind reaching 10,000+ tickets in under two months.
