THE BACKSTORY
Hoping to make a splash with their new product extension Cold Foam Creamer, Danone’s International Delight (ID) partnered with Schnucks, a member of the Rippl data and media network, to amplify brand awareness and encourage product trials.
THE STRATEGY
The teams took advantage of Rippl’s advanced segmentation capabilities to create custom, deterministic purchaser audiences based on specific behaviors and preferences. Rippl unlocked a more granular approach that would allow them to compare performance across different segments, which included:
- Best Schnucks customers: Loyal shoppers who frequently engage with Schnucks
- Current ID shoppers: Shoppers already familiar with ID offerings
- Lapsed ID shoppers: Customers who made purchases previously but did not return
- Category non-brand shoppers: Consumers interested in similar product categories
- General non-brand shoppers: New potential customers
This tailored approach allowed the teams to lean into specific consumer behaviors and preferences, setting the stage for a highly effective advertising campaign.
THE BIG WINS
Broader, more complete audiences
By combining loyalty and non-loyalty transactions, the campaign outperformed ROAS targets and grew overall category sales with a campaign ROAS exceeding 5.75.
Granular targeting capabilities
Precision targeting through SKU-level insights supported campaign objectives around share gains and driving product trials–delivering a brand ROAS of >3.5.
Accurate, reachable customers
Bridg’s purchase-based identity resolution capabilities enhanced match rates and reachability to beat the Authentic Viewable benchmark by 21%.
THE RIPPL EFFECT
Overall, the custom audiences from Rippl supported a cohesive, impactful marketing effort that resonated with target audiences and grew brand share.
