WILLISTON, S.C. – October 07, 2019 – Crane Merchandising Systems, a Crane Co. Company, is proud to announce Crane Media Network as a finalist for MediaPost’s “Digital Ooh Awards” for the third consecutive year. This year’s nomination is in recognition of the work Crane performed, alongside General Mills, for their Nature Valley brand, to increase sales and distribution within the self-service retail channel.
The 12-week nationwide advertising campaign ran across Crane’s network of 40,000 screens, with Crane’s innovative display spots running in a continuous loop, refreshing creative every two weeks. As a result, the campaign drove a more than 30% increase in the distribution of Nature Valley products in target segments and delivered more than 3.1 million brand impressions.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the best of the industry for our innovative work in the “venue or location-based” category,” said Sharon Peyer, Vice President of Business Development and Media for Crane Connectivity Solutions. “It is also extremely rewarding to know our campaign drove long-term growth for the client. Several weeks following the campaign, Nature Valley’s products maintained almost 100% of the sales lift generated while the ad was displayed, providing a highly compelling return on investment.,” said Peyer.
