How to write the perfect web design case study to win more clients

An immersive digital portfolio is the key to landing new clients. Learn how to show off your skills with a winning web design case study.

Design and build a custom portfolio website, visually, within 21 days.

design agency case study

A design portfolio without case studies is like a movie with no dialogue — visually present but lacking the substance needed to convey its full meaning.

Dialogue and case studies both communicate meaning. Without dialogue, audiences struggle to understand a film’s plot, characters, and themes, similar to how clients will struggle to understand the problem you solved, your design process, and the impact of your work without a thorough case study.

When you’re competing against other designers for a project or role, a well-written web design case study sets your portfolio apart , showing potential clients what you’ve done and what you’re capable of.

What is a case study?

A case study is an in-depth investigation into a person or group of people, a situation, event, or a product. A web design case study is a visual and textual analysis of a successful web platform, landing page , website design, or other web-based product. These types of case studies can be physical documents, but they’re often digital: PDFs, infographics, blog posts, or videos. Screenshots are an essential component, as are wireframes and mockups. But a robust web design case study also features detailed written explanations.

These visual and written elements work together to create a comprehensive assessment of the design process from start to finish, including the challenges faced, the solutions implemented, and the results achieved.

5 benefits of web design case studies

Now that we’ve touched on how case studies sell prospective clients on your work, here are a few other benefits of adding web design case studies to your portfolio website:

1. Demonstrate expertise

Case studies are a powerful marketing tool for designers to demonstrate their capabilities to potential clients or employers. A good web design case study showcases your skills and expertise in solving complex design problems.

2. Build credibility

In case studies, designers often include the name of the business, client, or project they’ve worked on, building credibility by providing real-world examples of their past work. You can even add testimonials and reviews to highlight positive feedback directly from those you’ve worked with.

3. Inspire future projects

Examining and analyzing your own work can inspire your next website build — maybe you’ll try one of the layouts that was nixed for this project or center the next design around an element you ended up loving. It also provides guidance and best practices for design projects, setting the bar for innovative design.

4. Encourage personal growth

Writing an investigation of your own design portfolio pieces after completing a project provides an excellent avenue for self-reflection. Reflecting on past projects, the struggles you’ve faced working on them, and what you’ve learned from the process will help you identify your strengths as a designer and areas of improvement to work on.

5. Improve communication

Presentations of your own work don’t just communicate the design process, decisions, and outcomes to clients. They also speak to stakeholders, including clients, team members, and management. A well-written case study illustrates a designer’s ability to effectively communicate complex design ideas and concepts, and writing it will improve your communication skills and offer insight into how effectively you work and collaborate with others.

What makes an effective web design case study?

A web design case study describes the process you took to solve a challenge with a particular web design project. A successful case study features a notable client project, a well-written narrative structure, and an engaging visual design.

Think of it as a story with an identifiable beginning, middle, and end. Throughout the story, show clients your approach to successful web design — the problem, the research you did to prepare for the project, the steps and iterations you completed throughout the process, and the final results you delivered. This narrative structure helps clients understand the project’s evolution and details your design process, making it key to an effective case study.

Case study curation and criteria

We’ve covered the basics of what a good case study looks like. But how do you determine which projects to include? If a project meets all the following criteria, it’s a good candidate for a detailed case study.

Is it relevant to the future projects you hope to explore?

If there’s a type of project you’ve completed in the past that you’d like to avoid in the future, that particular portfolio piece might not be a great option for a case study. You’re not just trying to sell yourself to clients — you’re trying to land jobs you actually want to do.

Does it have a defined initial problem?

Web design projects often arise as a result of a problem. These projects are perfect for case studies because the product design goes beyond appearance and functionality. Here are some of the issues your designs might solve:

  • Poor user experience: To create a smooth, enjoyable experience for users, user experience (UX) design focuses on identifying and solving issues that cause frustration, confusion, or difficulty while using an app or a website, such as confusing navigation, misleading icons, or slow load times. Addressing these challenges lets you showcase your understanding of your target audience’s needs and demonstrates your ability to apply your creative and technical skills to solve them.
  • Low search engine ranking: Redesigning a website with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind will improve its ranking in the search engine results pages, and you’ll have metrics to include in your case study to quantify the claims you’re making.
  • Inconsistent branding: Brand design is a massive part of a company’s identity. A lack of alignment between the logo, colors , and other visual elements of a brand’s identity and its digital assets reflects negatively on the company, leaving customers with more questions than answers about who’s behind the brand. Good web design can bring a sense of cohesion to the company’s digital products, an achievement you can speak to in your case studies.

Does the outcome deliver measurable success?

Good design is subjective, but the best projects for case studies have data to show how successful they are. Search engine ranking is one example. You might also highlight impressive metrics for user engagement (bounce rate, time spent on the site), conversion rate (the percentage of visitors who make a purchase or fill out a form), or web traffic (the number of visitors to the website).

Is the project visually suitable for presentation?

When preparing a web design case study, consider the various formats it can be presented in, such as a video, static webpages, or interactive web content.

Selecting projects that fit your chosen presentation format is essential to showcasing your web design skills. As a web designer, it’s a given that whatever you’re presenting to potential clients needs to use thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing designs.

Design for display

There’s no single right way to present a case study. What’s most important is that your case study tells the story of the journey from an initial problem or idea to a finished product that meets the client’s needs.

A minimalist design will help you achieve this goal. But don’t confuse minimalist with boring. You can (and should) get clever with the presentation. Instead of using basic screenshots, for example, consider exhibiting your work in modern frames with immersive features. Or display screenshots of the product in its natural habitat. Webflow designer Karen Huang uses a digital screen in this user experience case study to feature a screenshot of the user interface (UI) on a smartphone screen just as users would experience it:

Mockup of a laundry app in a smartphone-inspired frame.

Build completely custom, production-ready websites — or ultra-high-fidelity prototypes — without writing a line of code. Only with Webflow.

How do you structure a case study?

The contents of every web design case study will vary, but they should all follow this basic structure:

1. A challenge

Webpage presenting client information, statistics, calls to action, and a screenshot of the company’s website.

Start your case study with an introduction to your client and the problem your design solved. Include details about the project’s context, goals, and constraints. This section sets the stage for the rest of the case study and ensures the readers clearly understand what the project — and your solution — is all about.

2. A solution

Webpage featuring four mockups of different sections of a website.

Detail your approach to solving the challenge introduced in the previous section. Include information about your research, its methodology, and the data you gathered to develop your solution. Focus on your skills, not diagnostics — this is the place to showcase your intelligent approach, reasoning, and innovative ideas that ultimately resolve the challenge.

For this section, it’s helpful to break each key resolution into separate paragraphs and introduce images in chronological order to detail your design process. Screenshots of wireframes and strategy phases will paint a vivid picture of the project’s journey.

If you face any challenges or roadblocks while designing your solution, discussing them provides insight into your problem-solving skills and shows potential clients how you overcome difficulties. End this section with multiple pictures of the final product, and be sure to include a direct link to the project for potential clients and employers to peruse.

3. The impact

Alt text: Webpage featuring project impact metrics and a photograph of two women laughing.

This section is where you’ll highlight metrics and data that back up the project’s success. Leverage metrics, user feedback, or whatever data is available to illustrate how your solution solved your client’s challenges and achieved the project’s goals. You can also include information about the potential longitudinal impact of your work and future opportunities for the project.

4. Key quotes

Webpage featuring a client pull quote and two photographs of product prototypes.

A case study is a perfect place to share client testimonials and add quotes from team members to help readers learn what the experts behind the project think about the build. Get creative but use quotes sparingly, sprinkling them throughout the case study to support the image or project stage the quote relates to.

Agency Case Studies: How to Craft Client Stories That Sell Your Services

Approaching clients for a case study

  • How to write them
  • Produce your best case study

Digital agency case studies are a great way for potential clients to view your success stories. In fact, the Content Marketing Institute found that case studies were the second most popular type of content B2B marketers use, with 47% stating case studies were the most effective:

agency case studies effectiveness

Agency case studies are highly beneficial because…

They let you show current clients with impressive results

Establish yourself as an expert in the services you provide by showing the brands you’ve worked with and the results achieved. The more recognizable the brand name, the better. Doing this also helps you stand out from your competition.

You can demonstrate your strategy

For potential clients, showing what you’ve done for current clients is an opportunity to understand how your processes work — and what they could expect working with you.

Finding a great agency can be challenging for many clients

You can establish trust with clients by showing your agency has worked with brands in their industry. For instance, a SaaS company would want to see case studies from other tech-based clients, not a consumer packaged goods company (vice versa).

How agency case studies differ from other case studies

Digital marketing agency case studies help you generate more leads by focusing on how you have helped clients meet their marketing goals. Instead of focusing solely on the client itself, your agency case study should demonstrate the goal of the campaign, approach, and results.

Marketing agency, Bounteous , showcases client case studies on their website detailing each campaign’s overall goals:

Example case study on Bounteous:

design agency case study

Before you begin producing your agency case studies, consider the following:

Your ideal client

Whether it’s a stated goal or not, you should always attract clients you want to work with. That way all aspects of your content marketing strategy, including case studies, should be tailored towards your ideal clients.

If you don’t already have an ideal client profile, refer to your services and who would be willing to purchase those services. If you offer a multitude of services with varying types of clients, you can create different case studies aimed at specific customers. For example, using one case study on web design, one for Google Ads, one for SEO and so on.

Using different case studies

Your case studies will vary depending on who you serve. You may assume that a single case study will represent all the services you provide. However, it’s more beneficial to use at least one case study for each service as your ideal client may not be the same.

By showing potential clients that you get results in the service they need, you establish credibility and position yourself as a leader in that sector.

The basis of your case study depends on the service you provide

For each service you offer, create a detailed case study relating to specific aspects of each service. Here are some tips to craft a unique case study for each service you offer:

If your services include PPC/SEM, then you may include statistics on conversion rates, revenue, or money saved. Using clear and specific statistics aids the reader’s understanding and showcases your results without confusion.

Agency 51 uses this approach to highlight the results they achieved for York Coffee Emporium. They detail their goals, solution, methods, and results to deliver a case study showcasing a 22% increase in Google shopping orders using a dedicated PPC campaign and conversion optimization audit:

ad agency case study PPC

Agency case studies detailing web design services may show your results based on a professional design, usability, mobile optimization, and more. Forge and Smith, for instance, highlights their client Sky Helicopters to demonstrate how they enhanced site architecture and navigation :

Email marketing

Email marketing case studies can highlight market research data, subscriber rates, open rates, conversion rates, or leads.

Pure 360 showcases their email marketing expertise by highlighting the 225% increase in email open rates they helped Watchfinder achieve. Notice how the agency uses a customer quote to enhance their credibility:

agency case studies email marketing

Content/blog writing

Content writing customer stories should focus on how your content has achieved their overall goal. The client’s goal may be to enhance brand awareness, increase conversions, boost leads, or increase web traffic. You can showcase results by measuring unique visits, bounce rates, page views, number of conversions or leads, social shares, and more.

This Jawfish Digital case study highlights specific traffic results the agency achieved for a specific article to highlight their content creation services:

agency case study content

Social media

Agency case studies that tout social media services may highlight your expertise in a variety of platforms, social trends, utilizing new features to achieve campaign success, and using paid campaigns to generate ROI.

Cardinal has an extensive case study on their social media work for pizza chain Papa Johns. The agency uses statistics to quantify their results, specifically a 374% boost in revenue and a 426% increase in orders:

agency case study social media

It’s likely that your customers will be happy to be featured on your website, especially if you offer to link to their site in return.

Once you finish working on a successful campaign and decide you want to feature the client in a case study, kindly ask them for permission. Don’t publish personal information without gaining the consent first.

If your client declines your invitation, you can create a case study without using their name and details. It just won’t be as believable as showing the client’s brand name.

You can state, for example, ‘a finance company’ or ‘a company in the X market’ and detail your campaign. However, the most engaging agency case studies feature the brand’s name and logo as using well-known brand names can help establish you as a leader and provides social proof.

How to write a compelling case study

You need more than facts to create a compelling story. To attract clients, you should also…

1. Hone in on your client’s pain points

Some questions to ask as you write the client story:

  • What problems were they struggling with before they employed your services? (Be specific.)
  • How were these problems affecting their business?
  • Why were their original strategies failing?

Once you’ve addressed the pain points, discuss how the campaign’s goal related to these struggles, and how your agency’s services helped them overcome these problem areas.

For a laser hair removal client, Single Grain states how their client was struggling with competition and the sensitive nature of the hair removal topic:

agency case study pain point

2. Don’t just tell, show

Images are quicker to process than text so using charts or graphs in addition to data can help make your case studies more engaging to the prospect. Visual content also breaks up text making the information easier for your audience to comprehend.

Amp Agency uses photographs in their Maybelline case study detailing how they introduced a Color Studio Tour to bring the exclusivity of New York fashion to consumers:

agency case studies photographs

Meanwhile, Cardinal uses charts, graphs, and infographics to showcase their strategy and results for Tropical Smoothie Cafe:

agency case studies infographics

3. Make it easy to read

In addition to visual content, headers, subheaders, and splitting up your page into sections keeps readers interested. Organized content with clear sections, featuring an objective, method, and results to show how your client benefited from your services will help engage those with minimal understanding of what you do.

You could also link to a lead capture page to encourage potential clients to reach out and request a consultation.

Hex Digital formats their case studies into distinct sections using headers and imagery to help prospects understand the full story:

ad agency case study readability

4. Provide actionable advice and results

You don’t need to go into explicit detail when detailing your methods but stating what you did and how you implemented your strategy can be helpful to your audience. Being honest is a no-brainer here.

From the Cardinal example earlier, they explain how they worked on a PPC strategy for DentalWorks to ensure a return on investment:

ad agency case study advice

5. Share the finished product

Once you’ve published your customer success stories, promoting them is the next step. Promote your case studies in the same way you would promote an article — use social media. Make them the focal point of an email campaign. Repurpose them in blog posts or PDF format. Anything you can do to bring attention to them is beneficial here.

Produce the perfect case study

Establish your agency as an expert who gets results by creating exceptional case studies that showcase your best examples. Remember to focus on results that addressed pain points, provide stats and client quotes when possible, and make the stories visually compelling.

By following the suggestions above, you’ll be on your way to crafting case studies that attract potential new clients. In addition to case studies, sign up for an Instapage Enterprise demo .

  • 23% year on year increase in Organic Traffic.
  • Over 1,200 position increase in rankings for 70 keywords.
  • 18 keywords on page 1 of Google results.

The Challenge

This design agency had an unoptimised website with several pages set to noindex. The client had recently launched a new service and wanted to increase website traffic and conversions for this web page. There was a big opportunity to optimise the whole website and fix technical SEO issues.

The Process

I started this project with a comprehensive SEO audit to identify all areas of improvement for the website. From the audit, I mapped a strategy from the priorities identified in the audit.

In order to rectify these issues, on-page content optimisation across each webpage. Upon doing so, other organic strategies were applied to further improve their rankings on Google.

The Solution

15 excellent ux case studies every creative should read.

  • By Sandra Boicheva
  • October 21st, 2021

In a previous article, we talked about UX portfolios and how they carefully craft a story of how designers work. Interestingly enough, recruiters decide if a UX freelance designer or an agency is a good match within 5 minutes into the portfolio . In order to persuade these recruiters, the portfolio needs to present an appealing story that showcases the skill, the thought process, and the choices taken for key parts of the designs. With this in mind, today we’ll talk about UX case studies and give 15 excellent examples of case studies with compelling stories.

The Storytelling Approach in UX Case Studies

An essential part of the portfolio of a UX designer is the case studies that pack a showcase of the designer’s skills, way of thinking, insights in the form of compelling stories. These case studies are often the selling point as recruiters look for freelancers and agencies who can communicate their ideas through design and explain themselves in a clear and appealing way. So how does this work?

Photography by Alvaro Reyes

Just like with every other story, UX case studies also start with an introduction, have a middle, and end with a conclusion .

  • Introduction: This UX case study example starts with a design brief and presents the main challenges and requirements. In short, the UX designer presents the problem, their solution, and their role.
  • Middle: The actual story of the case study example explains the design process and the techniques used. This usually starts with obstacles, design thinking, research, and unexpected challenges. All these elements lead to the best part of the story: the action part. It is where the story unveils the designer’s insights, ideas, choices, testing, and decisions.
  • Conclusion: The final reveal shows the results and gives space for reflection where the designer explains what they’ve learned, and what they’ve achieved.

Now as we gave you the introduction, let’s get to the main storyline and enjoy 15 UX case studies that tell a compelling story.

1. Car Dealer Website for Mercedes-Benz Ukraine by Fulcrum

This case study is a pure pleasure to read. It’s well-structured, easy to read, and still features all the relevant information one needs to understand the project.

3. Jambb Social Platform by Finna Wang

Here we have a beautiful case study for a platform that aims to help creators grow their communities by recognizing and rewarding their base of supporters. It tackles a curious problem that 99% of fans who contribute in non-monetary ways don’t get the same content, access, and recognition they deserve. This means the creators need a way to identify their fans across all social platforms to grow their business and give recognition. To get a clear picture of what the design has to accomplish, Finna Wang conducted stakeholder interviews with the majority of the client’s team.

  • Intro: Listing roles, dates, team, and used tools.

  • My Process: The section includes a description of the UX design process highlighted into 5 comprehensive points.
  • Final Thoughts: What the designer has learned for 18 months.

The most impressive thing about this case study is that it manages to summarize and explain well an extremely complex project. There are no prototypes and app screens since it’s an exclusive app for the clients to use.

13. An Approach to Digitization in Education by Moritz Oesterlau

This case study is for an online platform for challenge-based learning. The designer’s role was to create an entire product design from research to conception, visualization, and testing.

  • Outcome and Learning: The good ending.
  • Project Information: Listing all stakeholders, the UX designer’s role in a bullet list, and design tools.

In Conclusion

These were the 15 UX case studies we wanted to share with you as they all tell their story differently. If we can take something valuable about what are the best practices for making an outstanding case study, it will be something like this.

Just like with literature, storytelling isn’t a blueprint: you can write short stories, long in-depth analyses, or create a visual novel to show your story rather than tell. The detailed in-depth UX case studies with lots of insights aren’t superior to the shorter visual ones or vice versa. What’s important is for a case study to give a comprehensive view of the process, challenges, decisions, and design thinking behind the completed project .

In conclusion, a UX case study should always include a summary; the challenges; the personas; roles and responsibilities; the process; as well as the outcomes, and lessons learned.

5 inspiring web design case studies

A good case study makes for a top calling card; check out these examples.

The reality of web design is that once you've finished a project, you hopefully move straight onto the next one. However, every site you deliver is an essential portfolio piece that demonstrates your skills and abilities, and while you'll usually want to link to your recent work on your site, it pays to do the job properly.

Rather than simply grabbing a screenshot of a landing page and a link and adding it to your online portfolio, writing up an engaging case study on your work can be a lot more worthwhile. Case studies don't need to be lengthy essays; they just need to give readers a taste of your process and provide some insight into the challenges you've faced over the course of a web build and how you solved them. 

They're a great way to let potential clients know how you work, and they can also provide inspiration for other designers and developers; here are five of our favourite recent examples. Make sure you also check out our top web design tips .

01. Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago

For a really inspiring case study, it's hard to beat DogStudio's extensive piece chronicling its work for the Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago. The museum is a vast and highly respected American institution, and you can't help but get the impression that DogStudio was punching well above its weight when it won the commission to rethink and revamp its web platform, but as this case study reveals, it carried the job off with aplomb.

Packed with revealing wireframes, imagery and animations, it's a fascinating insight into a massive and challenging build that had to cater for more than five million online visitors wanting to do everything from buy tickets through to figuring out where to park and finding information about individual exhibits. 

02. National Geographic: A Bear's-Eye View of Yellowstone

Sometimes it's better to show rather than tell. For this captivating look at Yellowstone National Park as seen by four bears fitted with camera collars and GPS, Hello Monday had a wealth of footage, data and expert analysis to work with. And rather than go into dry details of how it fitted everything together, it keeps things brief in its case study , providing a short outline of the project and deliverables before moving on to an entirely visual essay that demonstrates just how much work went into creating this digital feature.

As well as a good helping of footage and screenshots showcasing what the site's all about, what we really love about this study is a section dedicated to how Hello Monday stamped its own personality on the project, breathing extra life into the feature with animation, watercolour illustrations and pencil-drawn portraits of each bear.

03. Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood

Currently doing big business at the box office, Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood is a love letter to 1960's cinema that recreates its era with Tarantino's typical attention to detail. And to create an online presence that captured the feel of 1969 Hollywood as well as the film, LA agency Watson went the extra mile to create a digital magazine that feels like it could have come off a newsstand 50 years ago.

In this case study the Watson team explain not only the thinking behind the magazine and its pitch-perfect adverts, but also how they create a physical print run of the mag that got handed out at the premiere and first-night screenings, creating a whole other social buzz as movie fans posted shots of their magazine to prove that they were there. If you're looking for ideas on how to run a strong social campaign, there's some great material here. 

04. British Red Cross

Kota's case study on its recent work with the British Red Cross is a clear and concise piece that provides valuable insight on the challenges – and opportunities – of working on a campaign with an institution with clear-cut brand guidelines that need to be adhered to. In the case of the British Red Cross's OneKindThing campaign, Kota had to create a platform that stood out from previous campaigns while staying within the society's pretty epic brand guidelines.

With a handful of images and a couple of paragraphs, Kota outlines how it managed just that, and also covers some of the technical hurdles that had to be overcome to deliver the finished site. The end result was well worth the effort, as the British Red Cross testimonial at the end of the case study reveals.

05. Stonewall Forever

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, an event that helped bring about the Pride movement, Stink Digital partnered with The LGBT Community Center to create Stonewall Forever, an immersive digital experience that features key narratives and previously unheard stories from LGBTQ+ history. 

Stink Digital's case study explains how it built a living monument to 50 years of Pride, based in Christopher Park, New York, but accessible anywhere through a website or AR app, and goes into some detail of the challenges of creating a WebGL monument that consists of over 10,000 individual shards with post-processing effects, but still runs at 60fps, even on low-end devices. 

Beyond the technical challenges, though, this is an absorbing and insightful piece on a project that explores life before, during and after the Stonewall Riots.

Single Grain enables us to increase our impact without increasing our headcount

A marketing agency case study  is a detailed analysis of an advertising campaign that an agency has developed and executed for a client. It typically includes information on the client’s business, goals and challenges, as well as the agency’s creative approach.

The case study may also discuss the challenges that the agency faced during the campaign and how they overcame them. They can provide valuable insights into the agency’s process and approach, as well as demonstrate the agency’s ability to deliver results for clients.

Advertising case studies are instrumental in your marketing kit, on your websites and for the sales team when they meet prospective clients.

5 Best Examples of an Advertising Agency Case Study That Rocked It

There are many great ad agency case study examples that showcase the effectiveness of different marketing campaigns, such as PPC ad strategies or content marketing strategies. Here are the best ad agency case study examples:

Nextiva provides robust IT solutions for businesses of all sizes. And though they were attracting leads, they wanted to optimize their ads for greater ROI — decreasing ad spend  while generating more qualified leads. They came to us at Single Grain for help with their social advertising.

Here are the strategies that Single Grain  implemented:

  • Worked with Nextiva to determine what lead would provide optimal down-funnel performance
  • Identified the most cost-efficient audience segments
  • Created messaging and design specifically to appeal to the target audience
  • Used their “best of test” methodology for optimizing Google Ads

With the help of our marketing agency, Nextiva was able to reduce their cost per lead by 41.37% year over year on Google Ads.

For CEO  Eric Siu , the pursuit of innovation is relentless. We’re continually exploring new frontiers in lead gen and other marketing strategies to ensure that what works wonders for us also delivers exceptional results for our clients.

Here he discusses how newsletters are awesome if you want to have an ‘owned’ audience and they’re great for driving paid ads to:

Sure, newsletters can be great if you are looking to sell ads. Plenty of examples with Morning Brew, The Hustle, etc. Sure they sold for ~$75M and ~$20M respectively but… Most people aren’t going to have the volume that they have in terms of subscribers. Here’s a different… — ericosiu (@ericosiu) November 26, 2023

Microsoft Game Studios hired Amp Agency  to develop and execute a digital marketing strategy for the launch of Halo 5: Guardians.

Amp Agency had a goal to prevent gaming enthusiasts from defecting to other competitors and engage them in playing Halo and Gears of War longer. Here are the strategies that Amp Agency used in the case study:

  • Dedicated Website:  Amp created a new website specifically for Halo 5: Guardians , which was a hub for all of the game’s marketing materials. The website featured trailers, screenshots, other promotional content and links to pre-order the game.
  • Social Media Campaigns: Amp Agency next ran several campaigns to build excitement around the game’s release. These campaigns included Twitter sweepstakes, where fans could win prizes by tweeting about the game; and a Facebook poll, where fans could vote on their favorite Halo character.
  • Influencer Marketing:  Amp partnered with popular YouTubers and Twitch streamers to promote Halo 5: Guardians  to their audiences. The influencers  created gameplay videos and other content showcasing the game’s features and encouraged their followers to pre-order it.

The game sold over five million copies in its first three months, generating over $400 million in revenue. The social media campaigns created by Amp Agency were particularly successful, with the Twitter sweepstakes generating over 100,000 entries and the Facebook poll receiving over one million votes.

  • The customer story insights featured the main product in the background to help readers understand the client’s product in great detail.

Case studies are vital in building your brand trust, as customers nowadays want to know about the first-hand experience of your services before hiring you. Here are the top benefits of ad agency case studies.

Assists the Sales Team

Case studies on the website are a significant help for the sales team as they can offer your business services to clients without great effort. There’s nothing like seeing the results of an ad campaign on paper, a document that prospects can read over and over again. Once the customer is satisfied with the case studies, it becomes easier for the sales team to close the deal, significantly enhancing your business productivity.

Showcases Proven Results and ROI

In the world of marketing and advertising, clients are inherently results-oriented, and they want to see tangible evidence that their investment is paying off. Case studies provide precisely that: They are data-driven examples showing improved ROI .

By presenting real-world examples of successful campaigns — complete with quantifiable data on increased leads, conversions or revenue — you’re no longer simply telling clients what you can do … you’re showing them. When a client can see the concrete impact of your work, they can more easily envision the benefits for their own business.

Builds Trust and Credibility With Potential Clients

In today’s ultra-competitive market, few things make a bigger impact on your ability to land new clients than trust. Remember, it isn’t just money you’re asking clients to hand over — it’s the very reputation of their company itself.

A few well-crafted case studies can go a long way in instilling potential clients with the confidence that their reputation is in safe hands. Meanwhile, being able to show genuine results with genuine clients also helps clients trust that you’re legitimate.

Enhances Brand Reputation and Authority

Sticking with the subject of reputation for a moment, the best case studies can play a crucial role in bolstering your own credibility and establishing authority in your field.

In a marketplace saturated with choices, a strong brand reputation is an invaluable asset. Not only is it useful for influencing a would-be client, but it can also make other companies in your industry sit up and take note, opening new doors for collaboration, rewards and peer recognition.

Provides Insights Into the Agency’s Problem-Solving Abilities

Those campaigns that may throw you a curveball or put up unforeseen obstacles can provide just as much good material for a compelling case study as those where everything runs smoothly. At least they do as long as your agency rises to the occasion.

Highlighting your ability to navigate challenges and still deliver effective solutions, a case study can serve to showcase your creativity, strategic thinking and ability to adapt. Ultimately, this can further reinforce that all-important sense of client trust, resulting in more leads and happy, long-term clients .

Acts as a Valuable Tool for Internal Training and Onboarding

Beyond their external benefits, your advertising agency case study examples provide a real-world, documented playbook that can be used to train new hires and continually educate existing team members.

Ultimately, this helps new employees to quickly grasp your agency’s approach and methodologies, while also ensuring that long-tenured members of your team stay on top of current best practices, successful strategies and how your company capitalizes on evolving trends .

Attracts Potential Talent by Showcasing the Agency’s Impactful Work

Going public with your case studies spreads the word about your agency’s creativity, effectiveness and innovation, helping you to catch the attention of top marketing and advertising talent.

Advertising professionals are drawn to agencies that can demonstrate not only a proven track record, but also a creative vision that aligns with their own. So, when you showcase that through a case study, you’re ultimately taking steps toward assembling an elite force of creative and skilled individuals who are motivated by the prospect of contributing to impactful projects.

Facilitates a Better Understanding of Market Trends and Client Needs

Case studies serve as more than just success stories; they also provide a valuable window into emerging market trends and the evolving needs of clients.

By examining the data and results showcased in case studies, you can identify patterns, emerging trends and shifts in consumer behavior, all of which help your team take a proactive approach to staying ahead of the game in an ever-changing market.

Serves as a Reference Point for Future Campaigns and Strategies

Case studies provide a documented record of what worked and what didn’t in previous campaigns, serving as a valuable resource for advertising strategists and creatives alike. Using an advertising case study as a learning tool can help you identify which strategies and techniques to deploy in future and which mistakes to avoid at all costs.

Here are the key elements to include in your case studies to persuade your potential customers to choose your brand over others.

  • Title: Begin with a strong yet concise and results-orientated title that outlines what you did and who you did it for. The goal here is to captivate your audience and compel them to dive into your case study. So, think about who you’re trying to attract with this work and what would appeal to them.
  • Client Overview: Provide a brief introduction to the client, including their industry, size and any relevant background information. This is crucial as it helps potential clients see themselves in your past clients, making it easier for them to relate to the story being told and recognize your company as the right fit for their specific needs and challenges.
  • Challenge: Next, explain the specific problem that your client faced. This sets the stage for the reader to not only understand the onset of the case study, but also further helps a potential client to empathize with the issues they’re currently up against in their own business.
  • Objectives: Here, you need to be talking about the client’s desired results. Why did they hire your services? What goals and outcomes did they want to achieve? What were their expectations and how did you plan to meet them?
  • Strategy:  Once tasked with your objective, your next task is to devise a strategy to achieve it. You can use this next part of your case study to describe precisely what that was, detailing the creative and tactical steps you planned to take to overcome obstacles and achieve results.
  • Execution: The execution portion of your case study should provide a step-by-step account of how your agency executed the campaign. Be sure to include details about any challenging circumstances you encountered and how you overcame them, along with the reasoning behind your methodology.
  • Results:  Results are what matter most to clients, so it’s important to get this step right. Present the quantifiable results of your campaign using accurate, verifiable figures to detail how the campaign performed against your KPIs.
  • Testimonials: By now, you’ve talked a lot about your company and what you did, but readers are yet to hear from your clients. Address this by including feedback from the client on their experience of working with you. An authentic testimonial can provide a huge boon to your agency’s credibility and could well be the factor that seals the deal with a potential new client.
  • Lessons Learned: As you begin to wrap things up, take some time to reflect on the challenges faced during the campaign and the lessons that you and your team learned, noting how it improved the way you provide your company’s services and made you a better agency that is well equipped to meet the needs of new clients.
  • Visuals: As with any kind of content marketing, visuals such as images, infographics, charts and videos help to break up the content and make it easier to digest, while also reinforcing the important messages running throughout your case study.
  • Internal Links: As you work your way through your case study, pay attention to opportunities to link to other work on your website. Not only does internal linking help boost your website traffic, it also gives you an ideal way to provide further evidence of your experience and expertise.
  • Call to Action: If the whole point of your case study is to serve as a compelling lead magnet, it makes sense that you’ll need to end it with an equally compelling CTA that encourages readers to follow up by getting in touch with you for a free consultation.

Creative agency case studies are instrumental in enhancing sales and maximizing conversion rates. They efficiently provide readers with real-life examples of how your agency helps clients achieve their business goals.

Here are the steps to create an exceptional case study for your business.

  • Identify a Successful Campaign or Project: The first step in creating a compelling case study is to identify a successful project where your agency could showcase its expertise. The project should showcase your agency’s creativity, problem-solving abilities and results achieved for the client (the more impressive, the better).
  • Obtain Client Permission to Feature Their Case: Some campaigns immediately stand out as being ideal for a case study, but you’ll need to achieve the client’s consent before you can begin bragging about the amazing work you did for them. Make your request clear and concise, explaining the benefits of featuring their company in your case study while also addressing any concerns they may have with regard to confidentiality and branding.
  • Define the Main Challenge or Problem Faced by the Client: A good case study should read like a story , and for any story to be truly gripping, its protagonists (in this instance, your agency and the company you worked for) need a challenge to overcome. So, use this opportunity to detail what that challenge was and why your client chose you to overcome it.
  • Outline the Objectives Set for the Campaign: Here, consider the goals and metrics your clients wanted you to focus on. What outcomes were they looking for? What specific requirements did they provide you with that made this campaign particularly interesting or unique?
  • Describe the Strategy Developed to Address the Challenge:  At this stage, saying “So, we devised a strategy to achieve that objective” isn’t going to cut it. Be specific in describing the strategy you devised, the reasoning behind key decisions and creative ideas, and why you believed this to be the best approach for the brands you work with.
  • Detail the Execution of the Campaign or Project: Providing as much value as you can about the actions you took to execute a campaign gives readers an insight into the way you work, helping them to understand if your agency is a good fit for them while also demonstrating your ability to overcome challenges.
  • Gather and Analyze Results and Outcomes: Collect as much data as possible about the project, including the client’s brief, your agency’s strategy and approach, the creative process and the results. Speak to both your client and employees involved in the project to gather their insights and feedback.
  • Collect Testimonials or Feedback From the Client: Strong testimonials serve as solid, first-hand validation of your agency’s ability and a reflection on what it’s like to work with you from the client’s perspective, both of which make a big difference when it comes to converting case study readers into qualified leads.
  • Highlight Your Unique Selling Points:  In your case study, you should highlight your agency’s unique selling points and what sets you apart from competitors. Focus on the specific strengths demonstrated in the project, such as your creativity, strategic thinking or ability to deliver results.
  • Incorporate Relevant Visuals and Graphics: Eye-catching visuals not only make your case study more attractive and easier to read, but they can also illustrate key points and help you put your campaign results front and center.
  • Write and Structure the Case Study Content: A well-structured case study should include the following sections: introduction, problem statement, strategy and approach, creative process, results achieved and conclusion. Use a clear and concise writing style, and make sure to include visuals such as images, graphics or videos to support your story.
  • Review and Edit for Clarity and Accuracy: By now, you’ve invested a lot of time and energy in creating your case study, so the last thing you want is for all that hard work to be wasted due to a few overlooked mistakes that threaten to tarnish your reputation. Reviewing and editing the case study for clarity and accuracy ensures that the content is concise, error-free and easy for readers to comprehend.
  • Publish and Promote the Case Study on Relevant Platforms : Once your ad agency case study is live on your website, your next task is to identify the most effective channels to get it in front of your target audience. Whether that’s social media, your email list or a blog post, the more you can do to maximize the reach of your case study, the more potential clients you can reach and the more likely you are to get the leads, website traffic or brand recognition you were hoping for.

  • Include quotes from the client to highlight their satisfaction.
  • Edit and proofread the case study thoroughly.
  • Publish and promote the case study to illustrate the company’s expertise.
  • Tailor the case study to your target audience, using visuals and language that resonate with them.

An exceptional case study that refers customers and generates more leads includes:

  • A brief introduction
  • Strategies used in the case study

To choose the right advertising agency for your business, consider the agency’s experience, expertise, track record and client portfolio. Look for an advertising company with experience in your field that can demonstrate its ability to deliver results.

Working with an advertising agency can offer several benefits, including access to expertise and resources that may need to be available in house, the ability to develop and execute effective marketing campaigns, and the potential to save time and money by outsourcing marketing functions.

Case studies can come in various forms across different fields, each providing an in-depth analysis of a specific instance, event, individual, group, or organization. Here are some examples:

  • A study of how a small company successfully entered a competitive market using innovative marketing strategies.
  • An analysis of a major corporation’s turnaround from financial struggles to profitability, highlighting the management and operational changes made.
  • Detailed documentation of a patient’s rare medical condition, treatment plan, and outcomes to contribute to medical knowledge.
  • An examination of a public health intervention in a community that led to significant changes in health behaviors.
  • A study of an individual’s unique behavioral or mental health condition, providing insights into psychological theories or disorders.
  • An analysis of social dynamics within a specific community following a major event or change.
  • A case study on the implementation and impact of a new teaching method or educational technology in a classroom or school.
  • An investigation into the long-term effects of early childhood education programs in different socio-economic groups.
