How did we reach the goal?

Ad Presence on Pinterest Ads, Facebook Ads and Google Ads

We started the mandate with a social ads strategy on Meta and a seach engine ad strategy on Google. We quickly found that an overabundance of competitors exploited the same platforms. Even though our campaigns were highly performing and profitable, the idea of testing a less crowded advertising platform that could help us reach our target market was attractive. Pinterest Ads was quickly added for the launch of Mennillo's new swimwear collection. 

Pinterest is the go to platform for young women in search of fashion and travel inspiration. For us, it was the perfect opportunity to introduce the brand to its target audience before the purchase decision is even made and place it top-of-mind ahead of its competitors (the advertising platform being less frequently used by other swimwear brands in Canada).

Result:
ROAS of 7 in the first 3 months after launch

    Budget Allocation and Growth Strategy

    Our team manages our partners' investments in a very active way. Our proactivity and flexibility can be seen in the allocation of spend by platform, by market and by campaign, as well as in the strategic growth of the budget to maintain control over the campaigns' profitability. 

    For this mandate, we made weekly adjustments to the advertising budget in order to:

    • Track seasonality of demand.
    • Generate budget growth in profitable areas and eliminate budget in underperforming areas to maintain an excellent ROAS.
    • Generate growth in Ontario.
    • Amplify best performing messages and visuals to generate new customers at the lowest possible acquisition cost.
