The Perfect Pairing: Rakuten Advertising, Coles Liquor Group & Cashrewards Bring Affiliate to Retail Media
In a groundbreaking fusion of retail media and affiliate marketing, Rakuten Advertising, Coles Liquor Group, and Cashrewards introduced "The Perfect Pairing" campaign.
Emulating the impact of a strategically placed supermarket aisle display, this collaboration enhanced the customer journey through the retail media channel.
By seamlessly integrating an enticing cashback campaign on Cashrewards' homepage, akin to eye-level allure in physical stores, the trio redefined digital marketing.
One defining element of this campaign was its unique funding: entirely supported by the beverage brand, mirroring traditional retail practices. Leveraging Cashrewards' Love Island partnership for pre-launch excitement, the campaign achieved unparalleled success.
The result? A 60-fold increase in sales for the beverage brand and a doubling of Coles’ Dark Spirit sales. This innovative synergy of retail media and affiliate marketing proved to be a winning combo in the eyes of our judges.
