Introduction
This case study explores how an FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) company improved its brand awareness and lead generation using social media marketing. The company operates in categories such as packaged foods, beverages, and daily household essentials.
The main objective was not only to increase sales but also to generate strong distributor, retailer, and bulk buyer leads through digital platforms.

The challenge was building trust in a highly competitive FMCG market.
Target Audience
The audience was divided into two key segments:

- Distributors and wholesalers
- Retail shop owners
- Supermarket chains
- Institutional buyers (canteens, hotels, offices)

Focus was placed on both end consumers and business buyers.
Strategy Overview

- HR managers and facility managers
- Admin and operations heads

G. Retargeting Strategy
Users who interacted but did not convert were retargeted using:

The combination of branding + performance marketing drove success.
Challenges Faced

These were managed through segmentation and creative diversification.
Learnings
