Holey Moley Drives Venue Openings with Hyper-Local CTV

Denver ROAS-2
holey-moley-hero-1

Holey Moley isn’t your average night out. It’s mini golf, cocktails, karaoke, and escape rooms, all rolled into one unforgettable experience. But when the Australian-born brand began opening locations in the U.S., they faced a very real challenge.

01 The Challenge: How do you launch a new venue in a new city and hit your numbers from day one?

Holey Moley's target was clear: 2.5x ROAS. No vanity metrics. No soft awareness play. Just real revenue, measured in real party bookings, ticket sales, and filled calendars.

02 The Play: Hyperlocal CTV Campaigns

With tvScientific, Holey Moley launched geo-targeted CTV campaigns centered around venue openings. The creative? Fun, fast-paced videos that looked like your group chat come to life: friends laughing, putting, clinking glasses. The kind of experience people want to book and remember.

03 Why It Landed

Each campaign became a local launch engine. As bookings filled in Santa Monica and San Antonio, the team doubled down and were ready to use the same formula for their upcoming Irvine location launch this summer.
