Inspiration
Our campaign makes every aspect of her shopper journey worth celebrating; Stop & Shop empowers her by weaving small moments of celebration throughout the planning and shopper experience.
Using both programmatic video as well as a direct partnership with YouTube, we were able to align our videos with the premium content she enjoys as well as hyper-target her regardless of content or device. Similarly, we partnered with Pandora and Spotify to connect across personal devices, home and car.
To bridge the gap between inspiration and in-cart, paid social brought to life the simplicity of Stop & Shop’s e-comm option.


Preparation
Programmatic and Native Ads: allowed us to reach our shopper as she is exploring food, parenting & lifestyle content on premium publishers.
We used hyper-targeting and GumGum’s machine learning technology to identify the most contextually relevant content and delivered elegant ads that organically inserted Stop & Shop into her digital day—offering her a non-intrusive value exchange.
Paid Social broke through the clutter by providing her with inspirational content with thoughtful and personal messaging.


Mission
Building off the insight that our shopper is always on the go and turns to apps to assist with daily tasks, we partnered with Waze to stay top of mind in contextually relevant moments while she is out running errands and direct her to her nearest Stop & Shop location.
