Yamaha gets women on the water.
To achieve Yamaha’s goals for the Women Run the Water (WRTW) campaign, we resized and placed their creative assets across Google, Meta, OTT/CTV, and Programmatic channels.
Strategically, we hyper-targeted Yamaha’s WRTW persona, pairing research with broad interests and the Top 25 DMAs to optimize campaigns and ensure we reached the right audience.
This campaign won the Neptune Award for Best Integrated Marketing Campaign for a Brand.

Powering evergreen ad placement.
Because of the success of the award-winning Women Run the Water campaign, our next challenge was continuing those results.
To do so, we supported Yamaha’s evergreen ad placement by applying insights from the previous campaign. We worked with them to refine their customer journey mapping and implemented layered targeting strategies that nurtured users through the buying process.
These strategies won the Non-Endemic Excellence award for using Skai to run their retail media display campaigns.
