Titleist
In pursuit of the perfect ball
In this first-of-its-kind campaign, Titleist, Havas Media, and PadSquad collaboratively developed an innovative new ad format that invited busy professionals and experienced golfers to “find their perfect ball,” the Titleist AVX.
Our Objective
Stop their scroll by delivering a contextually relevant, highly-viewable ad that stands out from the norm. This was a tall order and something we were able to accomplish by reimagining the IAB’s Adhesion format to create an all-new ad experience that surprised golfers and demanded attention.
The new ad format responded to the golfer scroll through content, swelling upward to reveal a larger canvas to tell the Titleist story. The resulting ad format, Swell, beautifully brought to life the campaign theme “In pursuit of the perfect ball” while also beating expectations for driving traffic to the Titleist AVX site.
