Reaching the right customer, and proving it worked

Context

Rich customer data, a growing ad budget, and two walls: recognising the same person across devices, and knowing whether an ad caused a sale.

The problem

Cross-device tracking and scale. Retargeting reached devices, not people, and last-click reporting rewarded whatever ad happened to be nearest the purchase.

The bet

  • Unify buyer and site data so that current, lapsed and prospective customers could be recognised across their phone and laptop.
  • Serve brand-forward, personalised creative rather than generic 'you looked at this' retargeting.
  • Measure incrementally: what happened because of the campaign, not what happened near it.

My role

Led the programme for Mokobara, with Epsilon.

What shipped

A personalised advertising programme on the open web, run with Epsilon on Mokobara's first-party data.

What happened

Per Epsilon's published case study: over 4:1 incremental return on ad spend against a 1.6:1 goal (4.1:1 in the results table, 4.4:1 in the headline), ₹97 lakh in incremental revenue and 8.4 million personalised messages.

What it taught me

Data earns its keep when it changes what a customer sees. Everything else is a dashboard.

Fill in the brackets and send it as it is. That is enough for me to say yes or no honestly.
