Launched in 2022, HUX creates the best tasting health supplements using expertly blended and scientifically proven ingredients. HUX is an aspirational brand marketing predominantly on Meta and Google.

The challenge:

In the first eighteen months HUX was averaging a return on ad spend (ROAS) of below 1 and a cost per acquisition (CPA) of £55. To really thrive the way HUX users thrive, the founders had to improve these metrics. But at the same time Meta and Google were introducing more restrictions on geo targeting making it harder to manage ad spend. As experienced entrepreneurs, the HUX team knew they had to be innovative and take a different approach to get ahead of the competition.

Outra has a unique data set that allows for precision targeting of customers. It feels like an unfair advantage
_{- Damien Byrne, EVP, HUX}

‍

The solution:

Outra approach targeting from a unique angle. Our machine learning goes far beyond how Google Analytics uses data like age and location. Rather than analyse individual personal data, our algorithms analyse a host of household data like financial status and lifestyle preferences. Outra AI dives deep into the interactions of 2600 data points for every household in the UK which enables us to predict their behaviour and generate a product specific score for over 30 million UK residential addresses. The house someone lives in tells us a great deal about their lifestyle aspirations. 

In this way we create lookalike profiles that are GDPR compliant. They also circumvent the Meta and Google restrictions so we can create target postcode districts and long-lat disks with a high density of prospects.

Creating a lookalike profile for HUX

The first stage in creating a lookalike profile for HUX was to ingest all the household data about their existing clients. Then we trained our machine learning model to give each household a HUX score and create the lookalike profile of the top scoring households. 

Before working with Outra, the HUX team thought their target market was mainly hipsters in their twenties. But when we crunched the data it turned out most of their customers were slightly older, more affluent and better educated. Their customers tended to be a lot more interested in the ingredients and the science of the products, rather than just the look and feel of the brand. 

Giving HUX cost effective UK wide reach

Using Outra’s data, the HUX team were able to target lookalike households all over the UK and spot patterns in their locations. For instance the Outra model even revealed that many of the customers lived near parks, perhaps because more affluent people live near open spaces and also have the opportunity to exercise more often. 

‍The results:

After three months using Outra data, HUX achieved:

• 32% increase in Purchase volume
• 47% reduction in spend
• 60% decrease in Cost Per Acquisition
• 146% increase in Return On Ad Spend

The Benefits:

One of the big benefits of the Outra data was that HUX could use it across all of its marketing channels. There is no division between what works best for PPC and what works best for paid social. 

Outra unified the channel audiences and ensured they were consistent
_{- Damien Byrne, EVP, HUX}

We also worked closely with the HUX activation team enabling competitor analysis and AB testing on messaging. This resulted in HUX narrowing down activity to five high performing ads. They were also able to refine customer flows through the funnel and steadily upsell to increase the average order value. 

Outra works with many different types of clients and our data scientists create a lookalike profile, or customer centric propensity model for each one. For startups the aim is to enable the acquisition of customers with speed and efficiency often against very tight metrics. For larger established companies, the aim may be to identify and buy media with higher attribution rates. We are comfortable working with all the marketing stakeholders, including our clients’ tech and data departments, people and existing activation agencies.

Often a client will ask their agency to use our data. The agency can be reluctant, but once they see the results, they want to white label it so they can offer it to their other customers.
_{- Lucinda Edwards, Head of Growth, Outra}

Established in 2014, <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo's</span> Shared Ownership solutions bring owning a home within reach for millions of previously excluded buyers. <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo</span> has become one of the UK’s leading shared ownership providers, and works in partnership with national, regional and local housebuilders, and wider stakeholders to deliver affordable homes. <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo</span> operates under two brand names:

With interest rates currently so high, there is a growing demand for affordable homes. But as <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo's</span> Marketing Director Dan Jones points out, in property the margins are always tight:

We have a small marketing budget, so we have to make it work effectively
_{- Dan Jones, Marketing Director, heylo}

_‍

The Challenge: targeting effectively on Meta and Google

<span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo</span> predominantly markets on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google (PPC). Ideally they want to target people who live close to the specific property and would be interested in shared ownership. But this has become a lot harder due to recent restrictions on geo targeting. 

The Meta targeting restrictions have made the cost per lead rise significantly

<span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo's</span> ethos is to make owning a home affordable to previously excluded buyers, and would never discriminate. But as Dan Jones says <span style="color: #233DFF; font-weight: bold;">“pounds aren’t being spent where they should be spent”</span>  and digital marketing agencies don’t have solutions to overcome these restrictions.

‍

The solution: Outra’s Propensity to Buy, fine tuned for shared ownership.

Outra are the only people in the UK that have this property data, and are able to activate it so effectively

Last year <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">heylo</span> started using Outra’s Propensity to Buy solution and the results were startling. For instance in the four months previous to using Outra, the average cost per application to Your Home was £15. Less than two months after integrating Outra data into their digital acquisition marketing, that average was down to £4. 

That is a 74% drop in the cost per application. Overall Your Home saw a 129% increase in applications and a 43% increase in high quality leads. Outra were able to do this by positioning Meta’s 17km disks precisely over high intent areas for shared ownership.

Since we started using the Outra UK wide informed radii placements, we have seen a record level of applications at an all-time low cost.

‍

Outra’s Propensity to Buy models

Outra’s Propensity to Buy solution analyses and scores every household within a set radius of the property being marketed. This means <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">Heylo</span> can create GDPR compliant custom audiences that remove the restrictions of the Meta disk altogether.  

There are three core components to the score:

• Product fit - a set of machine learning models that predict how likely each household is to be interested in a specific bedroom count, property type and property style. 
• Readiness to move - a model that considers how long people have lived in their current house and life events that would trigger a house move.
• Affordability - This model takes account of the household income and equity to calculate if they can afford the property.

The scoring models are built with "Privacy by Design", and are based on household-level data rather than personal data. In other words Outra target households rather than individuals and is therefore GDPR compliant.

As Carolin Sievers, Lead Data Scientist at Outra says, there's a load of data going into the models. <span style="color: #233DFF; font-weight: bold;">“We use almost 200 features from our datasets to inform the model. For instance the current attributes of the property they live in, how long they've lived there for, their demographic data and lifestyle choices.”</span>

‍Outra’s ability to focus on people interested in shared ownership

The key differentiator for <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">Heylo</span> is that Outra has fine-tuned their model specifically to identify people that fit the profile of someone that would be interested in shared ownership. 

The benefits: Scaleable and focused programmatic marketing

A big part of Dan Jones’ job is getting the right recipe for <span style="color: #00C79F; font-weight: bold;">Heylo's</span> digital acquisition marketing. Being able to live-ramp Outra data into their Meta and Google channels with custom segments that can go down to postcode level, enables them to target clusters of high intent customers. Dan can also use broader keywords cost effectively because he has been able to zone into locations using 1km disks rather than Meta’s 17km disks. 

The fact that Outra’s data models are proprietary means they can be optimised for each client’s needs. They score each household so even specific letterboxes can be targeted for direct mail campaigns. 

I love working with a partner who really is on the same page and knows what my priorities are

“Moving house is such a fundamental trigger point for so many suppliers. Pre Mover gives us an edge that others don’t have”

Upstix, a leading house iBuyer in the UK, provides people with a new way to sell their home. But as a disruptive start-up, the biggest challenge for COO Frederick Jones is identifying and marketing to people who are actively planning to sell their house.

Using the Pre Mover AI tool from Outra enables Upstix to not only target who is about to put their house on the market, but also to focus on the segment of those most likely to use an iBuyer. 

‍

The challenge: Identifying and engaging people actively planning to sell their houses

The most valuable consumer group in the UK are home-movers. They spend more before, during and after their move than any other consumer segment. 

For Upstix to survive in a very competitive market, Frederick has to be able to maximise the return on his marketing investment by successfully targeting people who are actively planning to sell their house. “My challenge is to originate actionable leads in a very cost-effective way. We just can’t afford to spray and pray.”

On average homeowners spend £13,000 within a year of moving on expenses like renovations, furniture and electronics. 

The solution: Pre Mover has a proven 1 in 4 success rate of identifying people selling their house in the next 6 months. 

Precise Segmentation

Outra have trained Pre Mover to not only identify the people in the UK planning to sell their house, but also to focus on the people most likely to use an iBuyer. Pre Mover uses 2,300 data points and 130 signals to identify people who are looking for a quick sale, potentially due to probate or financial distress, and that have the type of property Upstix can sell on quickly. “Pre Mover gives us the base level of home-movers, and then we can apply various other layers on top of that around individuals in the household and the type of property, so we're able to precisely segment the type of person and specific location of houses on streets.”

No matter what segment of the home-movers your company targets, Pre Mover can be configured to find them. 

Continual optimisation

A key part of the partnership between Outra and Upstix is the continual optimisation of the tool. “We do a 360 degree refresh every three months and we evaluate the success of every campaign to improve the machine learning. This segmentation analysis feeds into where we target our social media and direct mail spend, and the look-alike audience for email campaigns. It is an iterative process so we can constantly improve and retarget our marketing with Pre Mover.”

Machine learning within Pre Mover means that the longer it focuses on a segment, the more precise it gets, and so results continually improve. 

Sales and marketing integration

Frederick also sees the benefits along the whole sales funnel. “It’s not just about targeting people initially, but also about how they go through sales and actually become clients. The whole sales funnel is continually fine tuned from top to bottom.”

90% of Upstix’s leads come from targeted advertising. This means that Frederick’s team isn't waiting for people to find them by chance as they search online. Upstix are proactively approaching the right people at the right time. What is more, the successful conversion rate on these leads is 12% which is four times the industry average.

“When leads come in, our sales team is spending time speaking to people who understand our service, and are in a position to sell. So we are having much more impactful conversations”.

The benefits: Evidence that your marketing is delivering return on investment 

“A lot of companies promise better data analytics and more leads, but most don’t deliver”

Real estate DNA

A big factor that gives Frederick confidence in Pre Mover is that real estate is in Outra’s DNA. Outra’s founders have decades of real estate experience and a deep understanding of what data is meaningful and informative. 

Fail-safe accuracy

The other big reason why Frederick believes in Pre Mover, is that there is a fail-safe way to check its accuracy. “If Pre Mover predicts a house move, say 98 Elscott Road, we can check on The Land Registry six months later, and see if that property actually has changed ownership”. This gives us a definitive score-card for Pre Mover, and a sure-fire way of optimising checking its accuracy.” 

“To see the success of the model makes me feel really confident. It gives us an edge, and makes me believe the business will be a success”

By leveraging Home Mover insights, advertisers can strategically plan their campaigns to coincide with these key decision-making periods in consumers’ lives. This could involve targeting individuals with offers for home-related services and products, or providing timely information that assists them during the moving process. Such targeted and well-timed advertising not only improves campaign performance, but also enhances customer experience, leading to stronger brand loyalty and long-term engagement.

‍Section 5: Future-Proofing Marketing Strategies with Home Mover AI

‍Adapting to a Changing Marketing Landscape‍

As the marketing world continues to evolve, staying ahead of the curve becomes increasingly important. Home Mover AI is an essential tool in this respect, offering a forward-looking approach to predictive marketing. By understanding and anticipating the shifts in consumer lifestyle and behaviour, advertisers can future-proof their strategies, ensuring relevance and impact in a consistently evolving market.
