Vacation at Sea – Lead Generation in Meta incl. Mobile-Lead-Funnel

Vacation at Sea – Lead Generation in Meta incl. Mobile-Lead-Funnel

Exclusive trips for travel industry professionals – how we increased the growth of Facebook groups and generated bookings with target group-specific mobile lead funnels.

Vacation at Sea is a travel agency specializing in cruises for employees in the tourism and aviation industries, offering them exclusive special rates. The offering ranges from heavily discounted cruises to additional travel services such as hotel stays, transfers, or onboard add-on packages.

Right from the start of the project, the Facebook groups managed had a stable and active member base. However, in order to exploit the full potential of these communities, the client set a clear goal: the groups should not only continue to grow organically, but also be expanded in a targeted manner by addressing new interested parties. The aim was not only to attract these new members to the groups, but also to develop them into active users and booking customers in the long term.

Period: April 2023 to April 2025

Industry: Tourism

Goal: Continuous community growth within closed Facebook groups and the acquisition of members who have a high intend to book.

Services:

  • Strategic development of a KITICON mobile lead funnel
  • Development of creatives and copy texts
  • Establishment and further development of target groups for individual customer segments
  • Project management

The Challenge: A major challenge was to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse members within the communities and to build suitable target audience segments with a high expected booking intent. This was essential to ensure that our messaging reached the right people — with minimal wastage and significantly greater impact.

Approach: Based on the defined target group segments, we first developed a KITICON mobile lead funnel. This funnel structured the user guidance in such a way that, after initial contact, interested parties were automatically assigned to the appropriate segments based on specific questions. This paved the way for a personalized approach and a targeted invitation to join the appropriate community.

For each segment, we created customized creatives, headlines, and copy texts that were individually tailored to the respective interests and needs. In several test phases lasting 4 to 6 weeks each, all assets were continuously evaluated and optimized. After only about four months, conversion rates of up to 20% were achieved.

As the campaign progressed—around six months after its launch—communication became more emotional and personalized, partly through the increased use of authentic video material (UGC) from employees. This ensured an authentic, approachable tone. At the same time, current viral trends were identified, adapted, and specifically integrated into the content strategy in order to further increase interaction and click rates and boost the relevance of the campaign.

Result: By using the KITICON Mobile Lead Funnel as part of the social ads campaign, we were able to target relevant audiences with pinpoint accuracy and convert them into valuable leads. With a remarkable return on ad spend of 354% on the generated booking commission, the campaign not only underscores its high efficiency but also its cost-effectiveness—a clear sign of the successful use of performance marketing in the B2B sector.

B2B lead generation via social media channels does much more than simply increase reach: it delivers directly measurable, economically relevant results. The campaign achieved its central goal of generating qualified leads for Vacation at Sea's Facebook communities and stands as a compelling example of data-driven marketing strategies with proven success.

LAZARUS Hilfswerk in Deutschland e.V. – Brand Refresh & Webdesign

The LAZARUS Hilfswerk in Deutschland e.V. charity can look back on over 50 years of social work and the 900-year history of the LAZARUS Order. From the outset, the association has focused on one goal: to inspire young people to get involved in social work and to help those who need it most. Today, the charity is a fixture in elderly and youth care – but its online presence fell short of its own standards. The website appeared outdated and complex. Information about facilities, services and career opportunities was difficult to find, and neither the website nor the social media channels reflected the diversity of the services offered or the personality of the team. Our mission: to give LAZARUS Hilfswerk a digital identity that is as clear, strong and inviting as its social commitment. With a comprehensive brand refresh, modern web design and seamless development, we ensured that the organisation's history and mission are as powerful online as they are offline.

Timeframe: Juli 2022 – April 2024

Industry: Social and care sector

Objective: Develop a modern website for the LAZARUS charity that clearly presents its facilities, services and offerings and conveys the work of the team in an emotive way. At the same time, create a careers page to attract new employees and design and strategically activate social media channels in line with the new website.

Services:

  • Brand style guide (including corporate colour system, typography, imagery and design elements)
  • Concept development
  • Web development
  • Roll-out support on the new website
  • Photo and video shoot
  • Content management

The Challenge: The LAZARUS Hilfswerk brings together numerous institutions and stakeholders with different expectations. The content had to be centrally coordinated and standardised, while at the same time doing justice to the individual identity of each location. At the same time, it was necessary to present historical values and long-standing traditions in a contemporary digital format and to organise coordination between all parties involved in an efficient manner.

Approach: We started with a corporate design refresh to make the visual identity of the LAZARUS charity clear, modern and consistent. We then accompanied photo and video shoots at all facilities to gain authentic insights into the charity's work and create content for the website and social media. For the website relaunch, we focused on modern, responsive design, clear information architecture and intuitive usability, making all offers, facilities and services easily accessible. At the same time, we developed text and image content that reinforced the emotional impact of the organisation's work and brought the personal stories of its employees to life. A dedicated career section now presents job vacancies, benefits and the work culture. For the social media relaunch, we used consistent visual design and emotional content to activate the community and strengthen the brand online.

Result: With the relaunch, the LAZARUS Hilfswerk presents itself online in a modern, clear and inviting way. Users can navigate effortlessly, while stories, photos and emotional insights bring the power of the charity's work to life. The association comes across as professional and approachable, while also presenting itself as a committed employer and active organisation – just as impressive online as it is offline.

Personal – Sustainable – Innovative: How Companies Attract Tomorrow's Skilled Workers at ‘Karriere Kick’

On 15 July 2026, the organiser of the ‘Karriere Kick’ career fair, KITICON GmbH & Co. KG, invites visitors to the Telekom Dome in Bonn from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Students and training representatives will compete against each other at the foosball table, striking up conversations in a playful way – an easy way for companies to get to know the skilled workers of tomorrow.

Demonstrate Soft Skills, Discover Talents

The students are randomly assigned to different teams with training representatives via their smartphones. Each round lasts two to three minutes, followed by brief discussions about training and career opportunities.

This creates an initial personal exchange in which students can demonstrate their strengths, team spirit and motivation. Even shy young people can engage in conversation here without feeling pressured. The event offers companies the opportunity to discover talent at an early stage and to inspire them to apply for apprenticeships through personal interaction.

‘I am proud that we are able to give young people insights into their career prospects – authentically, inspiringly and, above all, on an equal footing. As representatives of Germany's most innovative career fair, we are creating new opportunities for genuine orientation. The fact that we can make a difference in our home region motivates us greatly as a team,’ comments Janik Vogel, Head of Digital Experience at KITICON and project manager for Karriere Kick.

Strong Local Partners

Companies such as steep GmbH, preventech by Patrick Kelbch and Ferdinand Voigt GmbH have recognised the potential of the concept and are involved as partners in Karriere Kick in order to strengthen the Bonn/Rhein-Sieg region and actively counteract the shortage of skilled workers.

Companies looking for young talents can now secure one of the limited exhibitor spots at https://karriere-kick.de/in/bonn/aussteller.
