About the business

Inspired Pet Nutrition (IPN) is the UK-based manufacturer of the popular Harringtons and Wagg brands. Their focus? IPN connects consumers with the highest quality pet foods by using responsibly sourced, all-natural ingredients.

The challenge

In 2020, pet adoption rates reached historic highs. Consequently, consumer spending within Amazon UK's Dog and Cat categories exploded. To efficiently scale spend and jumpstart loyalty with new pet owners, Inspired Pet Nutrition required a robust ad tech solution. Something that could not only maximize sales on Amazon UK, but also help IPN better understand and measure the true impact of advertising on the incremental growth of their business.
