Digital Media Campaign Delivers 7.28 Million Impressions at Industry-Defying Efficiency for Leading Firearms Manufacturer

Campaign surpasses video engagement benchmarks with 2.49% CTR and 78.44% completion rate, achieving four times the average click-through performance. This figure is even more impressive, given that not all the videos were clickable

The leading firearms manufacturer's latest digital media campaign has concluded with exceptional results across both display and video advertising. The campaign generated over 7.28 million impressions with a blended cost per thousand (CPM) of just $6.87—significantly below the industry average for displays of $12–$14. More notably, the campaign achieved a blended 0.38% average click through rate (CTR), quadruple the typical industry range for displays of 0.04% to 0.08%.

"It is highly unusual to see a video CTR of 2.49% with a completion rate above 40%, let alone 78.44%," Marc Morris of Insight Media Stream notes. "This means the targeting was hitting perfectly with the right audience, and they found value and relevance in the video. This is the ultimate win in all advertising."

  • Total Impressions: 7.28 million
  • Overall CPM: $6.87 (51% below industry average)
  • Overall CTR: 0.38% (4x industry average)
