Enlighten: Dynamic Campaigns for a Dynamic Audience

Marketing Doctor proposed a strategy to the international brand that expanded and fortified their marketing funnel through the addition of two new platforms that have further innovated in the use of machine learning, and possess the reach to scale up – Snapchat and Programmatic advertising.

This would broaden the brand’s reach past Meta and Google Search and allow for a more holistic approach to their audience targeting. The goal was to connect the brand to their target audience where they already are to let them know the product is an extension of their values and identity.

Utilizing our advanced knowledge of these two platforms, as well as our relationship with platform reps, Marketing Doctor set-up and launched test campaigns with strategic audience segmentation, budgets, and best practice copy and creative. Once the test campaigns proved to be successful, we rolled out the strategy across multiple campaigns throughout the year.
