Guerlain Join Forces With SeenThis To Minimise Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Digital Advertising Campaigns

French luxury perfume, cosmetics and skincare house, Guerlain and their media agency Publicis Media Luxe have partnered with SeenThis to deliver the recent Abeille Royale awareness campaign in France. The campaign consisted of the series of IAB formats utilising high quality video and images in display ad spaces. Unlike conventional advertising technology, SeenThis proprietary adaptive streaming technology removes file size restriction, allowing ads to load in the highest possible quality, instantly and fully adapted to the user’s environment.

The adaptive nature of the tech actively reduces the amount of data transfers needed to deliver the content. This is far more efficient from a performance standpoint and a more sustainable way of delivering the digital ads. Some of the key campaign formats delivered 80.5% video start rate and 75.4% completion rate, and compared to running the same quality creative using conventional technology¹, 38.1% data transfer reduction and 11.4% avoided greenhouse gas emissions from creative delivery².
