case study, targetlock.id

Precision marketing is the name of the game — and DMD Creative raised the stakes. In partnership with Paisano’s, TargetLock.id combined first‑party cohort segmentation with geo‑moment creative to build a scalable, privacy‑first strategy that drove millions in paid ROAS. Read on to see how focused data activation and timely, context-driven creative turned smart ideas into measurable revenue.

The Evolving Landscape of Digital Marketing: Navigating the Post-Cookie Era

Digital marketing keeps changing. New tech, shifting customer habits and tighter privacy rules have all altered how brands reach people. For years, third‑party cookies made targeting easier, but that era is ending: browsers like Chrome are moving away from cookies and regulations such as GDPR and CCPA give consumers more control over their data.

That shift creates both friction and opportunity. Marketers now face reduced visibility into customer journeys, weaker personalization signals, and growing ad fatigue. The brands that win will be those that earn trust, offer clear value, and adapt to privacy‑forward engagement. The TargetLock.id–Paisano’s approach is a living example: it respects customer privacy while unlocking better performance.

Spray‑and‑pray tactics no longer work. Today’s consumers expect relevance and respect for their data. Brands that deliver thoughtful, consented personalization gain a clear advantage — and that’s exactly what this partnership demonstrates.

The Unassailable Power of First-Party Data: Your Most Valuable Asset

What is First-Party Data and Why Does It Matter More Than Ever?

First‑party data is the information a business collects directly from customers — through website behavior, app use, CRM records, purchase history, email signups, surveys and loyalty programs. Unlike third‑party data, which is aggregated and often opaque, first‑party data is proprietary, accurate and tightly linked to real customer intent.

In a post‑cookie world, first‑party data has become the marketing north star. It delivers key advantages:

  • Privacy compliance: Data collected directly and with consent aligns with modern regulations.

  • Accuracy and reliability: It reflects actual customer interactions with your brand.

  • Deeper insights: It reveals preferences, behaviors and intent for meaningful personalization.

  • Competitive advantage: These signals are unique to your business and hard for competitors to copy.

  • Cost efficiency: While there’s investment in collection and governance, you reduce dependence on costly third‑party sources.

TargetLock.id’s philosophy centers on making first‑party data operational. They treat data as a narrative of customer behavior — not just numbers — and use it to move from guesswork to decisions rooted in real signals.

TargetLock.id's Approach to First-Party Data Activation

TargetLock.id doesn’t stop at collection — they activate first‑party data. Their platform ingests signals from Paisano’s online orders, in‑store purchases (via loyalty), website visits, app events and email interactions. That raw data gets cleaned, normalized and enriched to build a unified customer profile.

Core elements of their activation process include:

  • Data unification: Bringing customer touchpoints together into one profile.

  • Segmentation and profiling: Using analytics to identify meaningful customer groups by behavior, demographics and preferences.

  • Predictive modeling: Applying machine learning to forecast actions like purchase likelihood, churn risk and product affinity.

  • Audience syndication: Securely sending enriched audiences to ad platforms (social, programmatic, etc.) for targeted activation — all within privacy guardrails.

For Paisano’s, this meant moving from broad discounts to precise offers — for example, targeting a pepperoni fan who hasn’t ordered in two weeks with a “Free Pepperoni Topping on Your Next Order.” That kind of relevance lifts both engagement and conversions.

Understanding Cohort Marketing: Precision at Scale

What are Cohorts and Why Are They Superior to Individual Targeting?

One‑to‑one personalization is ideal, but it can be costly at scale. Cohort marketing groups users who share a trait or behavior within a timeframe, enabling targeted, scalable campaigns. Instead of treating every customer as an isolated case, cohorts let you apply personalized logic across manageable groups.

Examples of cohorts include “customers who bought in January,” “app downloads last month,” or “regular lunchtime buyers.” Analyzing those groups reveals trends and informs more effective communication strategies.

Cohort marketing beats pure individual targeting in several ways:

  • Scalability: Easier to run campaigns against groups than millions of single profiles.

  • Pattern recognition: Cohorts surface trends that individual signals might miss.

  • Resource efficiency: You invest where response is most likely.

  • Improved measurement: You can track cohort performance over time to validate strategy.

  • Privacy‑friendly: Aggregation can be a more privacy‑preserving option than hyper‑individual tracking.

How TargetLock.id Leverages Cohorts for Paisano's

TargetLock.id dynamically segments Paisano’s first‑party data into living cohorts that update as customers interact. For a retailer like Paisano’s, cohorts can be finely tuned and highly actionable:

  • New customer cohorts: First purchase in the last 30 days — targeted with a welcome series and offers to drive repeat visits.

  • Lapsed customer cohorts: No orders in 60–90 days — targeted with re‑engagement incentives.

  • High‑value customer cohorts: Frequent or high‑spend buyers — offered VIP previews and exclusive rewards.

  • Time‑based cohorts: Customers who order lunch, dinner or late night — targeted with time‑sensitive promos.

  • Product‑specific cohorts: Fans of vegetarian, meat‑lover or specialty pies — targeted with relevant cross‑sells and new item tests.

  • Location‑based cohorts: Customers tied to a specific Paisano’s location — used for hyper‑local offers and event updates.

By tailoring messages to each cohort’s behavior and needs, TargetLock.id helped Paisano’s increase engagement, boost order frequency and lift ROAS — making every marketing dollar work harder.

Geo-Moment Creative: The Art of Contextual Relevance

Why Location and Timing are the New Personalization Frontier

Relevance today is about more than who you talk to — it’s about where they are and what they’re doing right now. Geo‑moment creative delivers the right message to the right person at the right place and time, matching the creative to the customer’s immediate context.

Contrast a generic pizza ad with one that appears as you leave the office: “Hot & Ready Dinner Deal — 2 blocks away,” on a rainy evening. The latter meets an immediate need and is far more likely to convert.

Geo‑moment creative rests on:

  • Proximity: Reaching users within a defined radius of a location.

  • Time of day/week: Aligning offers with meal times and peak demand.

  • Local events/weather: Leveraging events or weather to make offers timely.

  • Behavioral triggers: Acting on real‑time signals or inferred intent (e.g., “pizza near me” searches).

This shifts marketing from static demographics to dynamic, moment‑based relevance — less intrusive, more helpful.

Examples for Paisano's: Serving Up Timely Temptations

TargetLock.id used geo‑moment creative to deliver contextually relevant promos for Paisano’s. Practical scenarios included:

  • Lunch Rush Activation: Weekday ads between 11 AM and 2 PM for “Express Lunch Combos,” served to office workers within a 1‑mile radius — emphasizing speed and convenience.

  • Rainy Day Comfort: On rainy afternoons, creative switched to “Cozy Night In” family deals and delivery messaging from the nearest Paisano’s.

  • Game Day Specials: Near stadiums or sports bars during local events, ads promoted “Game Day Party Packs” and half‑time deals to drive group orders.

  • Late‑Night Cravings: For users active late in the evening, ads offered “Late‑Night Slice & Soda” combos to capture late purchases.

  • Event‑Based Promotions: At concerts or festivals, targeted offers encouraged pre‑ or post‑event dining and takeout.

Under the hood this relied on geo‑fencing, live data feeds (weather, events) and dynamic creative optimization. The platform automatically adjusted copy, imagery and offers to the moment — boosting CTRs, conversions and ROAS by meeting customers when they’re most receptive.

The TargetLock.id Platform: A Deep Dive into Innovation

Behind the results sits the TargetLock.id platform — an integrated stack built to turn customer signals into actionable campaigns. It’s not just software; it’s a strategic engine that converts data into measurable outcomes.

Features and Functionalities: Beyond Basic Targeting

TargetLock.id provides a broad feature set that addresses modern marketing complexity:

  • Unified data ingestion: Connects CRM, POS, analytics, apps and email systems to centralize first‑party data.

  • Advanced audience segmentation: Proprietary algorithms create dynamic, granular cohorts across behavioral, demographic and transactional dimensions.

  • Predictive analytics & AI/ML: Models forecast CLTV, churn risk, next best action and top offer types to drive proactive campaigns.

  • Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO): Real‑time creative generation and optimization based on cohort, geo‑moment and performance signals.

  • Cross‑channel activation: Secure, privacy‑compliant audience syndication to Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, programmatic DSPs, email and SMS.

  • Real‑time performance monitoring: Dashboards with live KPIs for fast optimization and attribution.

  • Attribution modeling: Multiple models (first‑click, last‑click, linear, time‑decay, U‑shaped, custom) to measure touchpoint impact.

  • Privacy‑by‑design architecture: Built to meet global privacy standards and protect customer trust.

Data Ingestion and Processing: The Engine Room

The platform ingests both structured and unstructured data, cleans and deduplicates it, and enriches profiles with additional signals. That pipeline keeps Paisano’s customer data accurate and activation‑ready, even at the millisecond speeds required for geo‑moment decisions.

AI/ML Capabilities for Optimization: The Brains Behind the Brawn

TargetLock.id uses AI and machine learning to go beyond static rules. Models learn from performance, customer behavior and external inputs (like weather or events) to:

  • Optimize bidding strategies across ad platforms and segments.

  • Predict the most effective creative variations for specific contexts.

  • Recommend the best channels to reach each cohort.

  • Forecast customer behavior so Paisano’s can anticipate demand and reduce churn.

This automation reduces manual work and speeds decision making, letting Paisano’s focus on strategy instead of execution details.

Integration with Ad Platforms: Seamless Execution

TargetLock.id acts as a central hub, translating refined cohorts and dynamic creative into actionable campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and programmatic networks. That ensures complex targeting logic is executed consistently across channels.

Reporting and Analytics: Clarity and Actionability

The platform’s reporting gives Paisano’s a clear view of performance. Customizable dashboards highlight the KPIs that matter and deliver actionable insights — not just numbers — so teams can improve campaigns quickly and prove ROAS gains.

Paisano's: A Case Study in Action – From Challenges to Millions in ROAS

Before TargetLock.id, Paisano’s — a well‑loved regional pizza chain — faced familiar marketing hurdles. The product was strong, but marketing lacked the precision needed to maximize returns.

Paisano's Marketing Challenges Before TargetLock.id

  • Generic promotions: Broad discounts drew price seekers and produced shrinking returns.

  • Limited customer insight: Transactional data existed but wasn’t unified or analyzed for deep segmentation.

  • Inefficient ad spend: Budgets were allocated on broad audience assumptions, yielding wasted impressions.

  • Lack of personalization: Communications felt impersonal and missed timely contexts.

  • Difficulty measuring ROAS: Attribution was murky, hindering optimization.

  • Competition: In a crowded market, Paisano’s needed a clear, differentiated marketing edge.

The Implementation Process: A Strategic Partnership

The work started with a full data audit and integration. TargetLock.id and Paisano’s collaborated to:

  • Consolidate data sources: Link POS, online ordering, loyalty and web analytics into the platform.

  • Define key cohorts: Identify priority customer segments (new buyers, lunch regulars, family purchasers, lapsed shoppers).

  • Develop geo‑moment strategies: Map geographic, temporal and event/weather triggers for dynamic creative.

  • Creative development: Build a library of adaptable ad assets — images, headlines and offers — for automated deployment.

  • Pilot campaign launch: Test hypotheses with targeted pilots to validate and iterate.

Specific Campaigns Launched and Their Impact

Paisano’s ran several targeted initiatives with TargetLock.id:

  • "Welcome Back" lapsed customer campaign: Reached customers who hadn’t ordered in 90 days with a personalized offer (e.g., “We Miss You! Enjoy 25% off your next order”). This campaign delivered a 30% re‑engagement rate and a 15x ROAS.

  • "Lunchtime Power‑Up" geo‑moment campaign: Weekday ads from 11 AM–2 PM for “Quick Slice & Drink” combos to office workers within 0.5 miles — driving a 40% increase in lunchtime walk‑ins and online orders.

  • "Family Feast Friday" cohort campaign: Targeted family meal purchasers with Friday night deals — achieving a 20% higher average order value than generic promos.

  • "Rainy Day Delivery" dynamic creative: On rainy days ads emphasized delivery and comfort food — resulting in a 25% uplift in delivery orders.

  • "New Customer Nurturing" series: A multi‑touch email and ad sequence for first‑time buyers that boosted second‑purchase rates by 18% within 60 days.

Detailed Results and Metrics: Millions in Paid ROAS

The Synergy of First-Party Cohorts and Geo-Moment Creative: A Marketing Superpower

The real power here isn’t just cohorts or geo‑moments alone — it’s the combination. Together they deliver personalization that’s timely, relevant and scalable, far beyond what traditional segmentation can achieve.

How These Strategies Amplify Each Other

Picture targeting not just “people who like pizza” or “people nearby,” but “lapsed pepperoni buyers who are within 0.5 miles of downtown and it’s raining.” That precision only works when first‑party cohorts meet real‑time geo‑context.

  • Enhanced relevance: Cohorts supply the “who”; geo‑moments supply the “when” and “where.” The result: messages that feel both personal and immediate.

  • Increased urgency and action: A tailored offer delivered at the exact moment of need drives higher conversion.

  • Optimized ad spend: Narrowing targets to those most likely to act at that moment reduces wasted impressions.

  • Superior customer experience: Timely, useful offers make customers feel seen and reduce ad fatigue.

  • Dynamic campaign adaptation: Campaigns evolve as customers move and behaviors shift — the system responds in real time.

Moving Beyond Traditional Segmentation

Traditional segments like “age 25–34” are useful but blunt. TargetLock.id’s method adds depth and context:

  • Behavioral depth: Instead of “age 25–34,” think “25–34 year olds who order vegetarian pizza twice a month and haven’t ordered in three weeks.”

  • Contextual nuance: Layer in signals like “near a competitor,” “Friday evening” or “event just ended.”

  • Predictive power: Use AI to anticipate needs — then deliver a geo‑moment offer when purchase probability peaks.

This creates a feedback loop: better targeting drives engagement, which produces richer first‑party data, which refines cohorts and geo‑moments — a self‑optimizing marketing engine.

Measuring Success: Metrics, Analytics, and the TargetLock.id Dashboard

Measurement is critical. Without clear analytics, even smart strategies can’t be optimized. TargetLock.id gives Paisano’s a rigorous framework to track, analyze and attribute campaign impact.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for This Strategy

ROAS is the headline metric, but several KPIs provide the full picture:

  • Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): Revenue generated per dollar of advertising — the clearest measure of effectiveness.

  • Conversion rate: Share of users who take a desired action after seeing an ad.

  • Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV): Predicted total revenue from a customer over their relationship with the brand.

  • Average Order Value (AOV): The average spend per order; cohort insights help lift this through relevant upsells.

  • Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): The cost to acquire a new customer — efficient targeting reduces CAC.

  • Customer retention rate: The percentage of customers who keep buying over time — re‑engagement cohorts improve this.

  • Click‑through rate (CTR): How often ads prompt clicks — geo‑moment relevance typically raises CTR.

  • Impression share: How often your ads are shown versus the total available opportunities.

  • Frequency: How many times a user sees an ad — optimized to avoid fatigue while maintaining reach.

Attribution Models: Giving Credit Where It's Due

Attribution is complex. TargetLock.id supports multiple models so Paisano’s can attribute conversions accurately:

  • Last‑click attribution: All credit to the last touchpoint — simple but incomplete.

  • First‑click attribution: All credit to the first touchpoint — useful for awareness analysis.

  • Linear attribution: Equal credit across touchpoints in the path.

  • Time‑decay attribution: More credit to interactions closest to conversion.

  • Position‑based (U‑shaped) attribution: Heavier credit to first and last touches, the rest distributed across middle interactions.

  • Data‑driven attribution: Machine learning assigns credit based on actual conversion data — the most accurate and where TargetLock.id excels.

Using these models, Paisano’s can see the true impact of cohorts and geo‑moment campaigns and direct budget to what actually works.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term Gains

This strategy delivers both immediate wins and lasting value. Short‑term lifts show up in ROAS, conversion and AOV. Long‑term gains come through higher CLTV, better retention and deeper customer trust. The analytics layer helps balance those priorities for sustainable growth.

TargetLock.id's Reporting Dashboard: Clarity and Actionability

The dashboard gives Paisano’s real‑time access to performance metrics and lets teams:

  • Visualize trends over time.

  • Drill into specific campaigns, cohorts or geo‑moment triggers.

  • Compare channel and creative performance.

  • Identify top segments and optimization opportunities.

  • Generate tailored reports for stakeholders.

That transparency speeds decision making and keeps campaigns improving.

Future Implications and Scalability: Beyond Pizza Slices

What Paisano’s and TargetLock.id achieved is a repeatable blueprint. The same first‑party cohort + geo‑moment playbook scales across industries and use cases.

How This Model Can Be Applied to Other Industries

The core idea — know your customer and reach them in context — applies broadly:

  • Retail: Push an ad for a winter coat when a customer who’s been browsing is near a store and temperatures drop.

  • Automotive: Target owners nearing lease end with upgrade offers or service reminders based on location and mileage.

  • Travel & Hospitality: Serve flight deals based on prior searches when a traveler is at an airport; surface hotel amenity offers tailored to guest history.

  • Financial services: Offer relevant loan or product recommendations through an app when a customer is near a branch.

  • Healthcare: Send appointment or screening reminders based on records and proximity to a clinic.

  • E‑commerce: Combine browsing cohorts with inventory and shipping context to present localized, time‑sensitive offers.

The platform’s flexibility lets teams define cohorts and geo‑triggers that match industry workflows and objectives.

The Future of Privacy-Centric Marketing

As regulations and consumer expectations evolve, consented first‑party data is the ethical, effective path forward. Brands that collect and activate this data transparently will build trust and future‑proof their marketing. TargetLock.id shows that privacy and profitability can reinforce each other.

Marketing’s future isn’t about less data — it’s about smarter, more transparent use of the data you own. That mutual value exchange is central to this approach.

TargetLock.id's Roadmap

TargetLock.id continues to invest in:

  • Enhanced AI capabilities: Even finer predictive models and automated optimization.

  • Broader integrations: More ad platforms, CRMs and data sources for greater flexibility.

  • Advanced creative automation: Expanded dynamic creative options, including video and interactive formats.

  • Vertical‑specific solutions: Templates and modules to speed implementation for different industries.

By confronting these issues head‑on, TargetLock.id helps brands convert obstacles into growth opportunities.

Expert Perspectives and Industry Trends: The New Marketing Paradigm

The Paisano’s result fits into larger industry shifts. Analysts and practitioners increasingly champion the same tactics TargetLock.id uses.

Industry Shifts Towards First-Party Data

With cookies fading, brands must rethink data strategies. Analysts agree: first‑party data is the strategic asset marketers need.

"First‑party data is the new oil for marketers. It's proprietary, it's accurate, and it's privacy‑compliant. Brands that invest in collecting, enriching, and activating their first‑party data will be the ones that thrive in the coming years." - Forrester Research

That’s the edge Paisano’s gained by leaning into TargetLock.id’s approach.

The Importance of Ethical Data Use

Beyond compliance, ethical data use is central to trust and brand equity. Consumers reward transparency and control. TargetLock.id’s emphasis on consented data turns privacy into a differentiator.

"Trust is the ultimate currency in the digital age. Brands that demonstrate a commitment to ethical data practices will build deeper, more resilient relationships with their customers." - Gartner

The Role of AI in Modern Marketing

AI and machine learning are now core tools for marketers — from predictive analytics to creative optimization. They turn large data sets into actionable strategies at scale.

"AI is transforming marketing from a guessing game into a science. It allows for hyper‑personalization, real‑time optimization, and unprecedented efficiency, driving measurable business outcomes." - McKinsey & Company

TargetLock.id’s AI is central to creating dynamic cohorts and optimizing geo‑moment creative — the tech that helped Paisano’s hit remarkable ROAS numbers.

The Rise of Contextual Marketing

As traditional targeting loses effectiveness, contextual marketing — messaging based on environment, activity and intent — is gaining traction. Geo‑moment creative is a prime example.

"In a world saturated with information, relevance is king. Contextual marketing cuts through the noise by delivering messages that are genuinely useful and timely to the consumer's current situation." - eMarketer

Pairing first‑party cohorts (who) with geo‑moments (when and where) delivers contextual relevance that drives action — exactly what Paisano’s proved in practice.

Together, these trends show how forward‑thinking brands can lead the new marketing paradigm and produce outsized results.
