The Challenge

Our client, a prominent global dairy-based nutrition specialist, known for providing essential milk products for children and families, had been a market leader in Indonesia for generations. However, with increasing competition in the category, they faced a challenge in converting their market awareness into sales. Despite multiple engagement and sales campaigns, their efforts were falling short.

The Strategy

To address this issue, we shifted our focus towards channel selection and product platform optimization to drive tangible sales growth with trackable and optimizable conversions. This involved a comprehensive business expansion strategy on the eCommerce platform, particularly targeting major sales events like Singles’ Day and 12.12. We employed broad audience targeting, emphasizing Indonesian women in the 20 to 35 age range, particularly those in the motherhood phase who value quality products. Additionally, retargeting was implemented for users who had previously shown interest in products but had not completed a purchase. Automatic placements and campaign budget optimization were utilized to ensure cost-effective ad delivery across various platforms.

Case Study

Acquiring deep understanding of consumer behavior for a major Japanese real estate developer with customer profiling

The Results
  • The client obtained a comprehensive overview of the top 10% (high affluence) of the Hanoi province population to be the potential target audience.
  • In addition, key consumer profile, persona of high-end mall visitors, key district (region) of interest, and the right tenant mix were identified to support the client’s strategic development goals
The Challenge

A prominent Japanese real estate company aimed to expand their roots in Vietnam to build a luxury mall in Hanoi. To drive the decision-making process in developing the new shopping complex, the client turned to ADA to understand data-driven insights and deep dive into their most important questions:

  1. Who and where are the affluent shoppers located?
  2. When are they shopping?
  3. What are the key interests and behaviour patterns of shoppers in Hanoi, Vietnam?
The Solution
1 Derive insights from XACT, ADA’s proprietary DMP

We presented clear and comprehensive insights which allow the client to understand the demographic profile and persona of the consumers of interest.

2 Comparison analysis

Five competitor malls were selected based on consumer footfall and existing retailers and online sentiments, to feed into their own strategic decision-making processes.

3 Gather key information

We discovered the distribution, density, the cross-visitation, and travel patterns of visitors to competing malls. Then we built a customer profile and persona of highly affluent visitors to develop the client’s brand and high priority segments.

4 Formulate a precise plan

We planned accordingly for the client’s tenancy mix and merchant partnership in all their existing and future malls.

The Execution
5 Consumer Profiler Dashboard

We identified the density of visitors at different malls during specific times of day. Home and work locations were identified to visualise only visitors of interest (region of origin), with demographic filters such as age group, gender, and affluence level applied.

6 The Insights: Target Market & Competitors

The insights were broken down into two sections. The first section covers an overview of each of the affluent tiers through demographic and psychographic comparison. The second section involves diving into the five selected competitor malls.

7 Spatial and temporal changes of audience mobility and digital footprints

ADA tracked and analysed pre-COVID vs. post-COVID movement restriction patterns to forecast future consumer behaviour in selected points of interest. With a deep understanding of competitors’ value propositions, they can make strategic decisions to garner reach and maintain their competitive edge.

The Challenge

The beauty industry faced significant challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Thailand where nationwide lockdowns severely impacted mall foot traffic. Our client, a cosmetic brand, grappled with declining demand for makeup products due to people spending more time at home. Furthermore, the closure of malls raised concerns about hygiene and infection risk, leading to a sharp decrease in product exposure and experiential interactions. To address these hurdles, the brand introduced a “VIRTUAL TRY-ON” service to allow consumers to virtually test products and re-engage with the brand.

The Strategy

To glean crucial insights into our client’s potential consumer base, we leveraged XACT, ADA’s proprietary DMP. This data-driven approach informed our consumer persona targeting strategy, with a focus on driving traffic to the official website for the “VIRTUAL TRY-ON” service using Facebook as the primary platform. The utilization of VACE, ADA’s Video Analytics & Creation Engine tool, enabled the creation of personalized messages tailored to establish a strong connection and relevance among the target audience.

    Tokocrypto, a prominent platform in Indonesia for trading Bitcoin and other crypto assets, launched a campaign to drive app downloads, with a secondary focus on boosting user registrations. The campaign leveraged Programmatic channels to not only achieve installations but also push conversions through the lower funnel. The campaign faced significant challenges, primarily in identifying and acquiring the right audience in the highly volatile crypto market. This required a sophisticated targeting strategy aimed at individuals with a high propensity to invest in crypto assets, even amidst market downturns. ADA’s approach went beyond conventional methods, employing advanced data analytics and behavioral insights to pinpoint and engage this niche audience effectively.

    Strategy

    Audience targeting was meticulously planned to maximise relevance and conversion potential. Demographic targeting focused on individuals aged 22-45 in Indonesia, encompassing both genders. Interest and behavior targeting engaged users keen on crypto trading and financial services. Specific personas such as crypto enthusiasts, investors, tech-savvy users, and financial optimisers were identified and targeted to enhance campaign effectiveness. To further amplify the campaign’s impact and engagement, customised creatives and targeted messaging were developed. This strategic personalisation was designed to not only attract users to download the Tokocrypto app but also to encourage them to complete key in-app events, thereby enhancing user retention and activity. A key differentiator in this campaign was the integration of our ADA’s Acquisition CPA calculator. Unlike traditional estimation tools, the CPA Calculator that is powered by AI modeling and 6 years of solid data from past campaigns that we did across 12 markets in Asia with allowed us to precisely gauge the cost per acquisition based on the client’s budget, industry, and performance objectives, helping us to allocate resources efficiently and maximise the campaign’s ROI while maintaining low acquisition costs.

    We helped a global automotive leader optimise sales and marketing with CDP implementation

    The Results
    Improved visibility on customer offline and online data
    Enabled data-driven marketing strategies for targeted and personalized campaigns to high intent customers
    Improved sales strategy through 360 customer insights
    Challenge

    The client needed a way to capture first-party customer data from showroom visitors, where most interactions were happening offline and insights were fragmented across channels. Without a unified view of customer behaviour, it was difficult to:

    • Identify high-intent visitors and understand their purchase journey

    • Connect showroom activity with digital engagement data

    • Run targeted, personalised campaigns based on real customer signals

    • Optimise sales strategies across locations and teams

    As a result, marketing and sales efforts lacked the visibility needed to convert interest into measurable revenue and build long-term customer relationships.

    The Execution

    The client is a Korean subsidiary of a leading Japanese automotive conglomerate who wants to optimise sales and marketing in through data-driven strategies.

    First, we launched a campaign to capture showroom visits offline customer data and then implemented customer data platform (CDP) to unify all the data with segmentation, machine learning, and advanced analytics. Then, we implemented a dashboard which connects online and offline data showed the client a 360-degree customer view.

    This enabled the client to gain deeper insights into customer journey, to launch personalized customer engagement and marketing campaigns, and ultimately, maximizing sales.

    ADA derives insights for a Japanese departmental store with location & data analytics

    Case Study

    ADA derives insights for a Japanese departmental store with location & data analytics

    The Results
    • The client gained a firm understanding on the type of consumers who are seen in the malls.
    • A comprehensive report on each of the 10 outlets was produced to show the mall profile, demographics, willingness of visitors to travel, footfall density and more, allowing the client to profile potential consumers that they could win over from competitors and gauge the largely contributing tenants in different outlets.
    The Challenge

    Although the Singapore economy is slated for recovery due to local vaccination efforts, factors such as continued social distancing measures, reduced footfall traffic, and low volume of visitor arrivals continue to dampen the recovery of the retail industry.

    The client turned to ADA by leveraging XACT, ADA’s proprietary data management platform (DMP) and AI-driven solution to uncover data-driven insights on customers in their existing store locations, the locations of their primary competitors, as well as the demographics of selected locations with the goal of increasing customer acquisition.

    The Solution
    1 Location selection & geofencing

    We identified our target audience, competing malls, and potential malls to open new departmental stores. We geofenced 10 mall outlets to extract profiles of visitors, either by mapping the whole mall, or a section of the mall to best capture the audience for our analysis.

    2 IFA extraction & profiling

    The IFAs of devices seen within the geofenced locations were extracted. Then they were run through our XACT database for consumer profiling.

    3 Derive insights

    The identified data sets were analysed, with a focus on the following areas: Cross-visitation patterns, Willingness to travel, Footfall traffic, Catchment heatmap, and more to offer competitive insights.

    The Execution
    4 The insights on competitor mall outlets

    The target audience for each brand / mall were mapped out. Colour gradients were used to showcase least to most concentration catchment areas. The distance travelled by the target audience to arrive at the identified malls is tracked from their home / work locations.

    5 The Insights on visitor analysis

    The movement of the target audience was tracked by day of the week and were categorised for footfall analysis by Weekdays and Weekends. Age group, gender, persona, and behaviours were derived and supplemented using XACT. Affluence is derived from condition-based attributes. The device price tiers and home property price tiers were then segmented.
