Success Stories - Global Brand

Merrell, a world-class American manufacturing company with footwear products selling in 150+ countries, was seeking to grow its online-to-local presence. The Merrell marketing team identified the opportunity to capture “near me” searches, connect their popular products to ready-to-buy shoppers, and boost sales of their new MOAB 3 hiking boots through local merchants. They needed to get their product ads in front of shoppers near their brick-and-mortar dealers while keeping their marketing ROI in mind. But how?
