Overview
A premium pet food brand dedicated to improving the lives of pets and their parents, partnered with Dentsu agency, Merkle, to enhance in their Chewy advertising strategy. As an early adopter of Chewy Ads, Pacvue and Merkle were able to take advantage of less competitive opportunities for the pet brand. The result? A 90% increase in average monthly sales and a 50% improvement in return on ad spend (ROAS).
The Solution
The brand scaled its Chewy Advertising program utilizing Pacvue’s Share of Voice (SOV) to gauge what percentage of the search and browse results the brand was winning and to understand the full scale of their growth opportunity. Merkle set up bid optimization rules on the pet brand’s campaigns to prioritize spending on the highest efficiency terms, saving the team time on optimizations, and allowing them to focus on their overall Chewy Ads strategy.
As Merkle scaled the brand’s advertising via Pacvue bid rules, budget management and SOV tools, the average monthly sales grew 90% and the average Return on Ad Spend improved by 50%. This allowed Merkle to drive more growth with their client’s advertising dollars.
“Pacvue has been key to scaling our premium pet food brand’s Chewy Sponsored Products program. Sales volume and efficiency have improved notably since onboarding. Campaign management is streamlined, allowing the Merkle and client teams more time to focus on big picture strategy and optimizations. Pacvue’s unique SOV reporting has also helped inform strategy with more visibility to competition.” –Luc Watson, Associate Manager eRetail, Merkle
“Since incorporating Pacvue into our Chewy Ads platform management, we’ve seen significant improvement in execution and efficiencies. These include improved ROAS, improved monthly sales, SOV reporting, and automated optimizations. Our business continues to reap the benefits of this service. Chewy is a major retail partner of ours where our target customers are shopping. It was important that we were early adopters of onsite ad offerings to help accelerate our brand’s growth on Chewy.” – Director of Ecommerce at Premium Pet Food Brand
