Objective

Maximize performance while minimizing media waste

In a crowded category, the brand needed to ensure its message reached the right shoppers — without oversaturating audiences or wasting impressions on those who had already converted.

Solution

By combining real-time frequency capping with dynamic audience refreshing, the brand was able to: 

Reduce media waste
by capping exposure across channels in real time

Remove converted customers
from the audience pool

Replenish with high-value ExtraCare® members
to maintain campaign momentum

The approach ensured that every impression worked harder, reaching the right audience at the right time with precision and purpose.
