A national e-commerce pet supplier tested audio for the first time and beat campaign goals by 63% with Experian Curated Deals. Here’s how they turned a small test into a core growth channel.What challenge did the pet brand face?
A national e-commerce pet supplier wanted to expand into audio advertising to diversify beyond display campaigns. But with only one team member available to test this new channel, they faced three hurdles:
- Prove performance in a new channel
- Run lean with limited bandwidth
- Show purchase intent, engaged site visits, and completion rates fast
They needed a partner to handle execution and supply optimization so their lean team could focus on strategy and selling audio internally.
