Challenge

Shiseido Group, a global luxury beauty leader, was struggling with fragmented media performance data across their China market campaigns. Despite significant investments in digital advertising, the brand couldn't effectively measure true ROI or optimize budget allocation across channels. Campaign data lived in silos—paid media metrics, social listening insights, and e-commerce performance existed separately, making it impossible to understand the complete customer journey or identify which touchpoints actually drove sales.
