If you’re going to compete against Google, you better go big
Matomo is the leading Google Analytics alternative. They describe themselves as an ethical, GDPR-compliant web analytics tool.
Matomo’s team saw our Last Of Us-esque GA4 parody, and hired us to create something similar. They wanted an ad with broad appeal that their audience could relate to (and genuinely want to watch).
Matomo’s marketing team knew they wanted to create a movie trailer parody. After some research, we came up with the idea to parody Oppenheimer. We knew it would be a blockbuster hit, which was good for universal appeal. Plus, the idea of a man blowing something up was almost too perfect for the story of Google blowing up Universal Analytics.
Over 1 million views in the first week, loads of engagement, and customers selling to prospects in the comments
Marketing and analytics professionals worldwide reshared and praised Matomo’s work, starting conversations about the product.
And on LinkedIn, the video not only attracted comments about how on point the parody was, but also brought out tons of product love from existing Matomo customers.
Nothing realy goes viral by itself — even if it looks that way. We always say that making a great ad is only half the work. Matomo’s team guaranteed this ad a win by knocking it out of the park with their distribution strategy. Matomo did a masterful job of responding to comments, turning comments into actions, and resharing and reposting viewer posts. They also worked with a paid media agency to amplify the impact of the ad.
The results
The parody ad was an instant hit, with over a million views in the first week.
The month following the Googleheimer ad, Matomo’s website traffic increased 5.4%, reversing a downward trend the previous month. And their LinkedIn follower count almost tripled.
