The Objective

In the digital age where attention is divided among countless advertisements, gaining significant visibility for a product is just the beginning. But what happens after awareness has been generated? How does interest translate into purchasing action?


These are the questions that Vidoomy, Havas, and Circana addressed in their recent project for McCain, supporting two references: McCain Nacho Cheese Triangles and Crispy Onion Rings.


Together, they devised an advertising strategy not only aimed at generating awareness but also at measuring the direct impact on in-store sales.The challenge was twofold: promoting McCain products and converting interest into actual sales. Close cooperation between several key partners was essential to this.

The Results

"This success demonstrates the value of an integrated advertising strategy that goes beyond awareness, focusing on the ultimate goal of every brand."

Arianna Castoldi, Country Manager of Vidoomy Italy


"In an increasingly competitive advertising landscape, Vidoomy, Havas, and Circana have demonstrated that concrete results can be achieved by combining creativity, technology, and results measurement“

Silvia Gabriella Conti, Marketing Manager of McCain Foods


The Campaign

The message must reach the right audience. Starting with a thorough pre-campaign analysis, Circana examined sellout data in the "Frozen Appetizers" segment. This analysis identified various areas of opportunity, defense, and inefficiency in the market. Using this information, they were able to pinpoint potentially high-performing geographic areas for McCain products. Alongside the "geo" approach, various data levers, socio-demographics, interests, content & keywords were combined, leading to the construction of an advanced segmentation. This helped McCain reach the right audience at the right time, minimizing waste and maximizing the effectiveness of advertising efforts.


Data isn't enough without the right message. To further strengthen the strategy, Vidoomy played a crucial role in optimizing campaign assets. Innovative and highly engaging advertising formats were created from the available assets. These new formats allowed the campaign to stand out in the saturated arena of digital advertising, capturing the audience's attention and increasing the overall effectiveness of communication.


Measurement is increasingly important. The real innovation was the ability to measure the campaign's impact on in-store sales. Thanks to the collaboration with Circana, it was possible to track the consumer's journey from ad viewing to product purchase at the point of sale. The combination of targeting, context, and creativity not only generated a significant increaseinmedia KPIs, but also led to a tangible increase in in-store sales.
