Let's Talk
The Challenge

Identifying Branding Strategiesand
DrivingBusiness Growth

Limited Visibility into
Competitors’ Campaigns

The client, a fast-growing plant-based meat manufacturer, had strong products but lacked clear insight into how category leaders were advertising across social, search and retail media

Struggling to Stand Out in a
Crowded Market

Competitors were running frequent, emotionally driven campaigns that the client could not match in volume or impact, leading to smaller market footprint and slower consumer adoption

Unclear Budget Allocation
and Creative Effectiveness

The client required insights on where its competitors were investing / spending as well as messages / formats that performed well for the target audience; this allowed the client to strategize budget allocations and drive growth

The Roots Way

How Roots Helped?

Roots Analysis delivered a targeted Advertising & Campaign Analysis project using ad intelligence platforms, social listening and media monitoring.
Built a Comprehensive Campaign Map:We tracked 18 months of competitor activity across 8 channels, catalogued every creative, identified messaging themes, and estimated monthly spend and timing
Analyzed Performance & Target Audience: Using engagement signals and audience overlap data, we pinpointed which formats (short videos, user-generated style, written content) and emotional triggers drove the strongest response.
Delivered Quick-Win Recommendations: The analysis revealed three high-impact opportunities: a messaging gap around “family meals”, underused video formats on TikTok/Instagram Reels, and seasonal budget spikes that the client could counter. Identifying these opportunities enabled the client to broaden its customer base.
