How a premium spirits brand won over holiday shoppers with a full-funnel approach

Full-funnel holiday strategy drives 4.65:1 ROAS for premium spirits brand

A full funnel strategy with Shopkick drove awareness,
in-store engagement, and 4:65 ROAS, proving the power of showing up early, often, and with relevance.

The challenge

During the competitive holiday season, a premium spirits brand needed to stay top of mind with consumers shopping across channels and moments. With digital distractions and in-store clutter, the brand aimed to do more than generate awareness—it needed to drive real engagement and prove its impact on sales. At the same time, the campaign had to navigate alcohol promotion restrictions in certain states, making targeting even more critical.
