Challenge

Data Management and Complex Customized Fulfillment. These were the two biggest needs of CheckMark, Nestlé Purina’s creative communications and design agency, when they first came to Bluewater back in 1998.

The company needed a partner who could take action on the migration of one of their brand databases to segment, target and fulfill projects for brand promotions. CheckMark was planning promotions in which consumers would receive samples and other targeted messaging and needed detailed campaign management including segmentation as well as targeting at specific times.

They also needed a vendor who provided great service, cost-competitive rates and credible estimates,  even with soft parameters or vague job requirements.

Solution

Bluewater provided the necessary service and support for the management and segmentation of hundreds of thousands of consumer records, making sure that every promotion was executed flawlessly and economically, reaching the right target with the right message at the right time. That was the solution for CheckMark and Nestlé Purina – delivering incredible service at competitive prices, filling every gap and ultimately making their promotions (and their lives) much easier.
