The challenge

An ad campaign that kept going dark

70s

Time in budget

Before CommerceIQ, campaigns underperformed and went dark frequently, with time in budget hovering in the 70s.

On top of tariffs, labor costs and inflation, Pilgrim’s Pride was fighting for share in a tough food and beverage market. They turned to CommerceIQ, building on a long-standing relationship and the success of previous campaigns.

  • ROAS based Optimizations: Flagging sales with poor profitability & efficiency
  • Disconnected media & shelf information: Not converting enough new shoppers
  • Manual Optimizations: Static bids and budgets leading to inefficiency

The solution

Hands off the wheel with AI Goal Optimizer

Winning over new customers with Retail Media Management

CommerceIQ’s proprietary AI Goal Optimizer reads a variety of digital shelf and performance signals, then automatically and dynamically shifts budgets and changes bids across campaigns and keywords. No more slow, manual changes. By allocating spend optimally, it drives the highest new-to-brand share and incrementality.
