How We’ve Made an Impact

Major US Grocer

1. The Imperative for Change:
   A leading US grocer, sitting on a wealth of first-party data from its many banner ads, recognized the decline of cookies and the rapid growth of CPG digital ad spending. They knew they had to act fast to get into the media network space and generate a healthy stream of non-linear media profits to help them manage fluctuating overhead costs and gain a competitive edge.
2. The Transformative Solution:
   We designed and built a custom omnichannel MN that mapped each customer’s journey from ad impressions to sales capture. Our innovative solution closed the loop on reporting and delivered actionable, real-time insights with unparalleled transparency and efficiency. We also leveraged the expertise of our sister agency, Publicis Media, to uncover unique perspectives on CPG advertiser needs and helped the grocer get up and running with their new platform quickly.
3. The Business Impact:
   The custom MN platform quickly yielded significant results. Notably, the expanded network of media partners and nuanced insights enabled the grocer to completely revamp its revenue model. The company now has a solid foundation to spur future data monetization efforts through a scalable platform that delivers real-time data on customer preferences and effortlessly adapts as regulations evolve.

MN Solution Results:

• 3x Revenue growth
• 360° Customer insights and closed-loop measurement
• 15+ Tools and platforms integrated
