A top-10 CPG brand hit 26:1 ROAS at its peak.
A leading Consumer Packaged Goods brand, ranked among the top ten in its category, needed to find customers it didn’t know it had — and turn that discovery into measurable sales. AlwaysOn Digital redefined how the brand reached new market segments.
The Challenge
A top-ten Consumer Packaged Goods brand needed to generate sales and consumer engagement for its distinctive range of candy gifts, while discovering new customer attributes that could unlock additional market reach.
