The Hague & Partners 
Scheveningen as a cultural evening destination: activated with focus and success.

Objectives

The marketing agency of The Hague & launched this campaign to attract more physical visitors to Scheveningen, with a specific focus on promoting it as a go-to destination for ‘A Night Out’: everything from dance and music to cabaret, musicals, theatre and singing.

The campaign had three main objectives:

  • Announcing the ‘A Night Out’ agenda.
  • Drive engagement through relevant and inspiring creatives that link to denhaag.com/nightout.
  • Generate visits to Scheveningen, measured using footfall data.

Our approach

To effectively raise awareness for Scheveningen, we launched a data-driven footfall campaign from March 24 to April 27, 2025:

  • Location-based targeting aimed at residents of surrounding cities such as Leiden, Delft, Rotterdam, and Zoetermeer.
  • Strategic exclusion of The Hague during the campaign to stabilize the number of daily visitors.
  • Deployment of various banner formats (300×250, 320×50, 320×240, 728×90, and 320×100) to track and optimize format-specific performance.
  • Data-driven optimization, actively reallocating delivery towards the best-performing regions and formats.

Optimization strategy

  • The campaign showed a steady build-up in footfall over time.
  • Broader regional targeting was applied to maintain a stable visitor pattern.
  • Budget was reallocated to focus on:
    • Top-performing publishers with high visit ratios (e.g. 9292, NU.nl, Buienradar).
    • Best-performing banner formats: 300×250, 320×240, and 320×50.
  • A clear performance peak was observed during the Easter holiday (April 7–21), partly due to the offering of family-friendly activities.

Results

  • Full budget spent, with the visit target of 1,466 easily surpassed (total visits: 1,653).
  • Engagement rate of 0.16%, indicating strong interaction with the creatives.
  • Impressions exceeded expectations by 12%, reaching a total of 674,121.
  • Best-performing banner formats: 300×250, 320×240, and 320×50.
  • Key learning: public holidays and school breaks are ideal moments to drive visits to leisure destinations like Scheveningen.
