FMCG

FMCG

Marketing that moves product
from shelf to cart.

From retail media networks to shopper marketing and brand campaigns, we drive velocity, optimize trade spend, and connect digital impressions to in-store purchases across retailers.

What We Do for FMCG

Retail Media Network Optimization

Sponsored product campaigns on Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, and other retail media platforms drive visibility at the point of purchase. Keyword bidding on category and competitor terms captures high-intent shoppers. Dynamic creative showcases promotions, reviews, and product badges. Dayparting strategies align ad spend with peak shopping hours and conversion windows.

Off-platform retail media (Walmart Connect, Kroger Precision Marketing) extends reach beyond site visitors. First-party retailer data enables precise targeting based on purchase history, shopping frequency, and basket composition. Attribution connects online ads to in-store purchases through loyalty card data. Portfolio optimization balances brand defense (protecting existing buyers) with conquest (stealing share from competitors).

Shopper Marketing & In-Store Activation

Digital circular ads and coupon campaigns drive store traffic during promotional periods. Geo-targeted mobile ads reach shoppers near store locations with timely offers. QR codes on packaging bridge offline products to digital experiences—recipe inspiration, loyalty program signup, subscription offers. Retailer partnership campaigns secure premium placement and co-marketing support.

Sampling campaigns target relevant audiences (parents for kids' products, fitness enthusiasts for healthy snacks) with direct mail or in-store demos coordinated through digital activation. Post-purchase retargeting encourages repeat purchase and subscription opt-in. Store-specific inventory data ensures ads only run where products are in stock, preventing customer frustration and wasted spend.

Brand Building & Consideration Campaigns

Video campaigns on YouTube, Meta, and TikTok build brand awareness and emotional connections that drive long-term preference. Influencer partnerships create authentic product demonstrations and social proof. User-generated content campaigns encourage customers to share experiences, recipes, or creative uses. Brand lift studies measure awareness, consideration, and purchase intent shifts from upper-funnel campaigns.

Content marketing addresses lifestyle contexts where products fit—healthy eating, convenience, family moments, sustainability. SEO captures informational searches ("best breakfast options," "quick dinner recipes") that intercept purchase consideration early. Retargeting sequences nurture consideration into retailer site visits and purchase intent.

Seasonal & Promotional Campaign Execution

Holiday campaigns, summer grilling season, back-to-school, and other seasonal peaks require surge capacity and precision timing. Pre-promotion awareness campaigns build anticipation. During promotion, high-frequency retargeting and retail media campaigns maximize velocity. Post-promotion campaigns target first-time buyers with subscription offers and loyalty program enrollment.

Weather-triggered campaigns adapt creative and targeting based on local conditions—soup and hot beverages during cold snaps, refreshing drinks during heat waves. Real-time inventory monitoring prevents stockouts during high-demand periods. Trade spend optimization balances promotional depth, duration, and frequency to maximize profit, not just volume.

D2C & Subscription Marketing

For FMCG brands building direct relationships, subscription models provide predictable revenue and first-party data. Free trial offers lower barriers to entry. Email nurture sequences educate new subscribers on product usage and cross-sell complementary items. Churn prediction models identify at-risk subscribers for proactive retention campaigns. Referral programs leverage existing subscribers to acquire new customers at lower CAC. D2C channels also test new products and gather feedback before retail distribution.
