About the client

As the largest pharmacy retailer in Australia and New Zealand, Chemist Warehouse group has over 550 stores across the country and a strong global e-commerce presence. Their marketing efforts span across 13 channels, with a significant focus on retail media, accounting for millions of dollars in media investment annually. Chemist Warehouse aimed to seize the opportunity to monetize retail media and data on its own but faced challenges in doing so.

Kent Len, Head of Performance Marketing (Media, CRM & Data) at Chemist Warehouse, shares their experience with implementing a Customer Data Platform (CDP) solution that transformed their marketing efforts and strengthened partnerships with vendors.

Client’s challenges

Before adopting Meiro CDP, Chemist Warehouse faced multiple challenges, including:

Prior to adopting Meiro CDP, Chemist faced several challenges in managing customer data, audiences, and marketing campaigns. Firstly, since Chemist’s campaigns utilized multiple channels, including social media, Google, on-site, and email, the team had to build audiences in every system separately, which was time-consuming and resource-intensive given the hundreds of campaigns Chemist ran each month.

Implementation of audience segment gallery

Additionally, Chemist Warehouse's suppliers can explore audiences and self-serve through a segment gallery, allowing them to examine Chemist Warehouse's audiences and build media plans independently, allowing them to tap into brand media budgets never before allocated to retail partnerships. This added automation streamlines the process of media planning and campaign execution for their partners, media agencies, and brand managers, further enhancing the overall win-win which is achieved for both retailer and brand.
