PayPal

Global marketing framework delivers maximum efficiency and impact

Our role

Global Digital Partner

PayPal, the world’s leading online payment provider, wanted to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its global marketing programmes by standardising practices across multiple markets and regions. SYZYGY London worked with PayPal to create a brand-new marketing framework that would serve as a central platform for planning and implementing marketing around the world.

To develop the framework we collaborated with central and local teams as well as channel specialists.

Critical inputs included: Customer Journey Mapping (identifying every moment in every customer experience phase when using a PayPal product); Global Campaign Mapping (analysing every digital marketing campaign used by PayPal over the past 12 months) and Global KPI Development (defining and standardising key performance indicators for every market and region).

The framework provides three main advantages to PayPal as a global business:

  • Investment decisions are now centred on the projected return on marketing budgets
  • Strategy is optimised by introducing a structured briefing process and identifying new implementation options, target groups and tactics
  • Planning has improved by identifying weaknesses and opportunities in customer communication through analysis and systematic testing

 

Encompassing all relevant activities, the framework guides PayPal’s investment in both always-on marketing and individual campaigns (e.g., product launches). It also enables continuous alignment of media and business goals, long-term results tracking and ongoing monitoring of customer behaviour.
