Utilizing Arima's self-directed marketing mix models, the campaign's success was analyzed using Foot Traffic Analytics (FTA) data combined with OOH media investments.

Overall Results:
- Over the seven-week campaign, foot traffic increased by 30%, equating to an additional 280,000 store visits across a 19-week modelling period. This total impact, inclusive of a net bonus of additional visitors, demonstrates the comprehensive effectiveness of the campaign.
