Challenge

Intertwine’s client has been an early adopter of internet marketing since the 1990s and continues to do so when it comes to an increasingly dynamic eCommerce environment. To stay in the lead, they enlisted the support of Intertwine Interactive to manage their paid search efforts.

The client began selling through Amazon in 2016, and started advertising on Amazon towards the end of 2017. After a series of testing, Intertwine decided to increase their investment in summer 2018 and launch a multi-tiered approach on Amazon Advertising. This included Sponsored Brands to compete for valuable top of search results page placement for key brand terms as well as both automatic and manually targeted Sponsored Products campaigns to deliver products to shoppers on a per-product basis. These Sponsored Product campaigns included a roster of product-specific keywords which, for manual targeting, required granular bid optimization per keyword.

Solution

Intertwine connected their Amazon Advertising campaigns to Marin in order to leverage its best-in-class reporting suite and patented bid algorithm to drive results for their client. The team set up automated bidding for their Sponsored Products campaigns to collectively bid programatically to hit their ACoS and volume targets.

Results

Marin bidding quickly provided the growth the team was looking for. Since activating, overall Amazon Advertising investment grew 236% compared to previous levels without Marin bidding.

The team saw a 75% increase in average weekly conversion volume and has continued to scale and build on the early successes by expanding the program. Corresponding ad attributed sales increased 191% alongside the weekly conversion volume growth.
