Marketing in Los Angeles: what to account for
Los Angeles is a car-based, bilingual market: 3.87 million residents, and more than half speak a language other than English at home. Advertising here is built around driving distance, the audience’s language and the event calendar.
Geo: miles by car, not blocks on foot
Los Angeles has 8,304 people per square mile, three and a half times fewer than New York. For an indie film release we set a 5–7 mile radius around three theaters — Alamo Drafthouse DTLA, AMC Burbank and Los Feliz 3. Two of the zones overlapped in Silver Lake and Echo Park: residents saw ads for both theaters, frequency doubled and conversion grew.
Languages: the Spanish-speaking half of the city
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 56.4% of residents aged five and over speak a language other than English at home, 47.2% are Hispanic or Latino, and 35.7% were born outside the United States. We test the message and the landing page on each audience separately instead of averaging them.
Events: a budget built around the date
In the film release most of the demand fell on the three opening days. We ran the first phase on a minimal budget and built retargeting audiences, then peaked for the opening weekend: the phase covering the Los Angeles opening and the New York sustain brought 1,398 ticket checkouts at $12.86.
Professional communities: the industry’s zip codes
In a film awards campaign we narrowed the audience down to the film industry with central zip codes in Los Angeles and New York and film-related interests: a reach of 92,793 on an $812 budget.
We know the Los Angeles market
In Los Angeles we ran an indie film release and an awards campaign aimed at the film industry, and we know how the city works: car-based geo, a Spanish-speaking half of the audience, a budget built around the premiere date.
Geo
Los Angeles drives: 20–30 minutes behind the wheel is normal. We set a 5–7 mile radius around the point of sale, not one mile as in New York.
Audiences
47.2% of residents are Hispanic or Latino, and 56.4% speak a language other than English at home. That is a separate audience with its own message and landing page, not a translated ad.
Industry
Film and entertainment are concentrated in specific areas. We narrow a broad audience down to a professional one with central zip codes and interests.
Premieres
Demand for an event lives for a few days. We keep a small budget for the warm-up and put most of it into the opening weekend.
