Overview
Carhartt partnered with January Digital to align media strategies across the organization through earned, owned, and paid media, consolidating the work of five agencies to drive efficient, cross channel opportunities for ecommerce. Set against aggressive growth goals of 10x compared to category growth, January Digital introduced a robust, multi-touch full-funnel digital media ecomm campaign centered around innovation and a refreshed audience data-driven approach.
Challenges
An overarching reorganization when consolidating five agencies across the business down to January Digital was a challenge, but essential. Introducing new efficient processes and points of contact across the Carhartt organization, January Digital streamlined the data and measurement parameters into a single view to then inform the business. The next challenge was the sheer volume of creative assists needed from the creative teams based on the multi-channel strategy. Lastly, to maximize engagement and sales, January Digital needed to work closely with the retail merchandising teams and their data to ensure proper product mix to appeal to the target audience and align with business and inventory priorities.
