Our team is built on core values that fuel our mission: expertise, problem-solving, insight, perseverance, passion, and integrity.

Together, we foster lasting relationships and strive to deliver innovative solutions that elevate our clients and shape the future of media.

Reversing Negative Sales Trends

Unknown

Aspen Dental is the second-largest Dental Service Organization (DSO) in the United States, with over 900 dental offices across 170 designated market areas (DMAs). They are expanding at a rate of two new locations weekly, with a key performance indicator focused on new patient appointments. The organization faced challenges, including an 8.7% decrease in demand and a decline over two years, compounded by an unorganized data structure and increasing competition. Our analysis showed that their channel mix had limited reach, misaligned with the patient journey, while poor data management resulted in significant blind spots regarding office-level performance. Additionally, their inability to track cross-channel attribution restricted optimization insights. To address these issues, we created a Market Priority Solution using our MarketMax software, developing market tiering based on client, media, and environmental data to evaluate performance, identify new opportunities, and enhance flexibility through detailed office and market analysis. We successfully aligned media channels with the patient journey at a granular level. Our Analytics Solution involved engineering an API to integrate Aspen's call center and website data with media occurrence data across all channels. We implemented weekly performance monitoring for each location using a "R-Y'G" alert system and dashboard, allowing for immediate resource allocation and optimization recommendations. Our Search solution facilitated the rapid deployment of local SEM campaigns (over 5,000 individual campaigns) at scale, significantly enhancing performance for the leading conversion channel. Our software solutions, including GeoScape and DataFlex, achieved a 40% decrease in cost per acquisition (CPA), 36% reduction in cost per click (CPC), and a 46% increase in click-through rate (CTR), leading to a 14% rise in appointments. Mature appointments rose by over 140,000 compared to the previous year, resulting in a turnaround for the business with a 19.2% point increase.

Growing Household Penetration in a Mature Category

Unknown

**Background**: Krusteaz is a well-established pancake mix brand that enjoys a strong foothold in the Pacific Northwest and is available in all major grocery chains across the United States. This market is highly competitive and price-sensitive. **Challenge**: The pancake segment is largely influenced by price and is primarily dominated by Aunt Jemima, which holds a 45% market share and enjoys significant brand recognition. Krusteaz aimed to forge a deeper connection with consumers and integrate itself into their dining rituals. **Insight**: We conducted interviews with consumers in various DMAs nationwide to gain insights into their pancake purchasing behaviors. We identified important behavioral segments based on "tradition-keeping" characteristics, while also seeking a younger demographic looking to establish new traditions. A key finding was that consumers often buy pancakes on autopilot; once they adopt a brand into their routine, they tend to stick with it for many years. **Solution**: We created a national video campaign encouraging consumers to "flip" their perspective on their traditions and the pancakes they choose. We leveraged digital video and content partnerships to craft a compelling family narrative, emphasizing how families can unite over pancakes. Additionally, paid social media and influencer collaborations helped amplify the message across various platforms, positioning Krusteaz as a trustworthy brand that cherishes consumer traditions as much as they do! **Results**: In the first month, Krusteaz's growth significantly outperformed the category by over 38 percentage points, with an average growth rate of +40% year-over-year in individual markets. The campaign attracted more than 800,000 new customers within four months, and we achieved our Household Penetration target of 19% a full nine months ahead of schedule!
