Media, consumer channels and attention have fragmented hopelessly. Data-driven advertising seems to narrowcast us towards immediate performance metrics even as brands struggle against commodification in every category. Every product and category will meet the challenge differently. We ask several marketers to share the lessons from recent successful campaigns. What media mix, content, KPIs, outcomes are working for them now?

The century-old Rust-Oleum brand knows not every DIY project needs to live up to glorious Instagram perfection. They want consumers to give up FOMU (fear of mucking up) and celebrate real and impactful transformations brought about by a little elbow grease and some really great paint. Crowdsourced content, social listening and social marketing channels are helping the company target its many products much more tightly and efficiently to specific customer journeys and with messaging that celebrates everyday creativity.
