The Opportunity

Proving Demand Ahead of Distribution Decisions

This organic candy brand wanted to expand distribution for its gluten-free and fruit snacks lines at Walmart and Sam's Club. Getting there meant more than a pitch: buyers needed to see real digital demand and shopper engagement before committing to new items and modular resets, so they came to New Nexus Group to build that proof.

The New Nexus Group Approach

Not another awareness campaign.
A retail media strategy built to prove demand.

Most retail media plans optimize for impressions. We built campaigns tied directly to the moments that mattered: modular resets, rollback events, and new item decisions.

Across Walmart Connect and Sam's Club, we ran search, display, and omnichannel activations designed to increase digital penetration, drive trial, and build the sales momentum buyers needed to say yes.

“Incredible trends! You guys are killing it.”

Trial & new buyer acquisition

Rollback & modular support

Campaigns timed to Walmart's Fruit Snacks rollback event, giving buyers real demand signals ahead of modular decisions.

Sustained sales velocity built specifically to support Sam's Club's new item acceptance conversations.

Omnichannel activation across both retailers
