Case Studies   /  Nestle Cereal Partners

Nestle Cereal Partners wanted to investigate the benefits of working directly with Morrisons.com to assist with driving awareness and sales of cereals. To optimise their approach in converting a wider audience, we used a combination of both Branded advertising units and Product placement. Key search terms were recommended and defined along with a set of taxonomy pages to help us ensure the shopper saw the brand at the right time and place during their online shopping journey.

1. The Brand advertising units were delivered across 1 million impressions; generating a CTR of 0.93%, (ie: 9,930 incremental clicks). The top three taxonomy pages affected by this campaign were:
- Favourites | +3.59% increase
- Fruit Veg | +0.71% increase
- Milk | +0.68% increase

The brand advertising units also had a broader impact on what customers searched for on Morrisons.com. The term ‘Milk’ increased by +2.1%, ‘Cereal’ rose by +1.63%, and ‘Bread’ went up by +1.03%.

2. The Product placement ad units delivered 851,000 impressions; generating a CTR of 0.42%, (ie: 3,633 incremental clicks). The same taxonomy pages were affected:
- Favourites | +2.53% increase
- Fruit Veg | +0.64 increase- Cereal | +0.58% increase

Other breakfast item search terms saw an increase, such as ‘Orange Juice’ which rose by +1.88%, ‘Bread’ by +1.29%, and ‘Juice’ by +0.91%.

The data proved that the advertising was highly effective at driving incremental ‘add to baskets’, and the client has subsequently upweighted their on-going presence on Morrisons.com.
