Packed the arena with families using a targeted ad campaign that paid for itself four times over.
The Mizpah Shrine Circus is a beloved local tradition, but traditions don't sell tickets on their own. Every year they relied on the same playbook — flyers, posters, radio spots, and hoping that nostalgia would fill the seats. Some years it worked. Other years, sections of the arena sat empty.
They had a tight window to sell thousands of tickets and zero digital presence. No pixel. No email list. No way to track what was actually driving ticket purchases. They needed a way to reach families in the area, create urgency, and sell tickets fast — all within a few weeks before the event.

Tickets Tracked
Ticket sales started rolling in within hours of launch. The retargeting campaigns alone recovered hundreds of sales from people who almost didn't buy. For the first time, Mizpah could see exactly where their ticket sales were coming from — and the numbers spoke for themselves. Every dollar spent on ads brought back $4.25.

The Mizpah Shrine Circus went from hoping people would show up to tracking over 2,800 ticket sales directly from their ad campaigns. A 4.25x ROAS proved that even traditional local events can crush it with digital ads when you target the right audience, create urgency, and follow up with people who didn't buy the first time.
