Data
Our Catalyst for Strategic Decisions

Our process starts with Omni, our proprietary platform that analyzes 10,000 consumer attributes for precise targeting and insights. Using advanced analytics and AI, Omni powers data-driven, personalized campaigns across all channels, revealing what people think, feel, do, and buy.

Omni enables us to optimize campaigns across linear and digital TV, radio, OLV, CTV, social platforms like Meta, Snapchat, TikTok, as well as traditional and digital out-of-home. This leads to greater advertising efficiency and smarter, data-informed recommendations based on refined target demographics, lifestyle factors, and geography. While strategies from other agency strategies may be data-informed, Omni-powered strategies are designed to guarantee growth.

Strategy
Our “Wow. Yes. Now.” Approach Drives the Path to Purchase

Armed with audience insights from Omni, we activate our “Wow. Yes. Now.” approach to shape consumer decisions at every stage of the path to purchase.

  • For prospects, we drive the “wow” moment, using captivating messaging and disruptive media to elicit an emotional response: “I want it.”
  • For growth audiences, we spark the “yes” moment, using convincing messaging and resonant media to elicit a rational response: “I need it.”
  • For precision targeting, we create the “now” moment, with hyper-targeted calls to action that elicit a behavioral response: “I’ll buy it.”
