ASICS India’s D2C business entered July 2026 under significant competitive pressure. Major
fashion and footwear marketplace sales were active across 24 of 31 days, creating a
prolonged promotional environment and giving consumers strong incentives to purchase through
marketplaces instead of ASICS' own D2C channel.
At the same time, advertising costs increased sharply, with Meta CPMs rising 28%, Google
Performance Max CPCs rising 27%, and Google Search CPCs increasing 13% versus the May
pre-sale baseline.
Digidarts responded by restructuring the EOSS campaign around audience precision, product
relevance, funnel coverage, and competitive timing rather than relying purely on deeper
discounts.
Key campaign objectives:
D2C Revenue increased by 44% MoM
Meta Purchases increased by 50%
Quantity Sold increased by 44%
Total Users increased by 28%
Sessions increased by 31%
Revenue growth was achieved despite Meta CPMs increasing 28%
Google CPCs increased by 13–27%
Five major marketplace sale events kept competitive promotions live across 24 of 31 days in July
This wasn't about simply increasing media spend to compete with marketplaces.
It was about turning a cost and competition problem into a segmentation and strategy
problem.
By combining AOV-based targeting, full-funnel activation, product-level campaigns,
competitive timing and differentiated creative, Digidarts helped ASICS D2C grow faster
than the cost of reaching its audience.
