Wickenburg Final Reporting FY25 
 
Executive Summary 
Across Google, Meta, and Search platforms, our paid media campaigns have driven strong performance in key 
U.S. and international markets, with several placements exceeding industry benchmarks. 
 
Domestic campaigns across Google and Meta out-performed benchmarks and delivered strong efficiency. 
Canada was a steady international performer, with CTRs aligning closely with Madden’s benchmarks. The Mexico 
search campaign had a CTR just above the benchmark floor. However, high CPCs limited the performance.

campaign struggled to meet our click goal because of a higher CPC due to international 
targeting. However, Mexico City garnered more than 2x the clicks, when compared to the initial 
Frankfurt audience.
