Challenge

The brand had built strong awareness through organic social, press, and influencer marketing, including national TV exposure. However, they noticed that anonymous visitors were not always responding to digital-only remarketing efforts, especially as purchase timelines stretched.

They needed a solution that identified anonymous prospects in a way that reflected the brand’s premium, sentimental positioning, without relying solely on email or paid media.
