Interactive Ad Platform selected as finalists in Programmatic, Interactive and Rich Display Media categories
Contobox™ and The Home Depot Canada are finalists for 3 MediaPost 2020 Omma Awards for two recent campaigns, which include one nomination in the Rich Display Media: Single Execution or Campaign category, one in the Programmatic category, and one in the Interactive category.
The Home Depot Canada partnered with Contobox™ to update their “Don’t Let Winter Catch You Unprepared” campaign for 2020, so they could reach Canadians with winter-ready products when they needed them most. Together, they integrated the retailer’s e-commerce inventory and The Weather Network API into shoppable display ads, triggering weather-specific creative with related in-stock products up to three days before a major weather event. This first-to-market programmatic execution is nominated in the Rich Display Media: Single Execution or Campaign and Programmatic categories.
The home improvement retailer also worked with Contobox™ for their “Refresh for Less” campaign, which combined three separate flyer events into a single display ad. The expandable ad was built with Contobox’s True Intent tracking technology, delivering in-depth engagement data collected from the ad and The Home Depot’s website to their DMP in real-time. This allowed them to segment their most engaged audiences into product-specific categories and retarget them with hyper-relevant shoppable ads. This campaign is nominated in the Rich Display Media: Single Execution or Campaign, Programmatic, and Interactive categories.
“Our team is committed to helping brands achieve their goals through more precise targeting strategies and engaging creative,” says Petar Bozinovski, President of Contobox™. “We’re elated to see that work recognized on an industry level with a long-time partner like The Home Depot.”
To date, Contobox™ has received 29 award nominations in the last five years. In 2019, the interactive ad platform took home an award in the Mobile: Campaign category for their work with Carat to deliver a gamified mobile-only campaign for Subway, and in the Rich Display Media category for developing the Craftsman Dream Garage contest, in partnership with ROC Media. The 2020 OMMA award winners will be announced on October 5, 2020.
