THE 5 INCLUSIVE ACTIONS
Inclusive Cooperation that makes a “new type of retail media”
We brought Foodpanda and adidas together to collaborate in capitalizing on the FIFA World Cup. Carat initiated this partnership, creating a co-branded party box during the tournament. We connected online and offline channels through resources exchange and owned media traffic (Adidas has the most eye-catching 3D outdoor and high-traffic physical store x Foodpanda’s daily high traffic orders, variety of delivery products. This successful inclusive partnership achieved sold out party boxes, and Foodpanda’s client base increased by a third.
Inclusive application that developed “Innovative AI led growth”
Standard Chartered Bank in Taiwan has a huge demand for new loan customers, however, due to the country’s financial regulations there are many advertising restrictions.Our task was simple on paper: deliver impressive business results despite the restrictions, through innovation. To do this we developed a generative AI tool for marching learning (Dentsu AI) to connect with the Meta ads system and used AI to prospect the potential audience automatically. By engaging this approach, leads from Meta almost doubled year on year, massively improving the cost per lead for the client.
Inclusive social measurement index for “deep community brand value insight”
Carat Taiwan proposed a new and exclusive cross-platform community value measurement index in Taiwan: the SAVI community-driven value index to achieve better deep dives into brands’ social value and find out the brands’ influence on different communities. The SAVI community-driven value analysis services help brands benchmark their social community levels, indicate and map out their current social status with competing brands, and suggest directions of travel and strategies for brands to increase community value.
