Increase Return On Marketing Investment and deliver the metrics that prove the work works. Work A combined push & pull campaign, with the pull strategy focusing on online and mobile sample requests. These requests were activated via attractive call-to-actions through email, bannering, magazine ads, TV billboards, social media and digital communities. Resulting in the biggest pull campaign The Netherlands have ever seen.
