For over a century, Sakura has been a pioneer in artistic innovation, creating industry staples like Gelly Roll pens, oil pastels, and Pigma Micron fineliners.
Challenge
Overcoming barriers to growth
Sakura faced several challenges in their pursuit of growth. One of the key obstacles was measuring ROAS, as the company struggled to accurately track the return on their advertising spend despite increasing their demand generation budget. Another challenge was content creation at scale, particularly producing high-quality content that authentically represented the Sakura brand across hundreds of products. Lastly, logistics complexity caused additional hurdles as Sakura navigated the high cost and difficulty of shipping to various fulfillment centers and expanding into new marketplaces.
