Challenge
Feed-based creative production is ideal for fast campaigning, but it can lead to issues with various formats and backgrounds from a single Excel line. For instance, overly long words for mobile formats, mismatched CTA button colors, or awkwardly cropped images can create undesirable outcomes, limiting creative freedom.
This is challenging for Wehkamp, the largest online department store in the Netherlands, which relies on feed-based solutions to manage its extensive inventory. Wehkamp wants to use this feed to create hundreds of personalized ads, while still having full creative freedom. In addition, Wehkamp wants to be in full control of the entire campaign setup, so integrations with their desired platforms are a must.
Solution
Feed-based creation and publication remove the repetitive and time-consuming workload of setting up ads per product manually and linking these to the designated target audience. A rich content feed generates hundreds of personalized ads that can be previewed in seconds.
Wehkamp can easily edit the feed-produced ads in real-time with a live preview - even videos! Wehkamp also automated their publication process, so they can automatically publish as HTML5 to CM360 - or as MP4/JPEG to MFB and other desired social platforms.
“Putting so many campaigns live every week without (the right) tooling is a big task, especially since we use so many lifestyle images in our ads that have to look good for every format. Cape has more advanced possibilities than our previous ways of working - we can now edit each feed-produced ad before publishing them!”

Results
With 38 campaigns that are renewed every week, Wehkamp now benefits from feed-based campaigning with pixel-perfect lifestyle imagery ads for all display, social, and video formats. Every element in the template can be edited separately after they are created with the feed, allowing Wehkamp full creative freedom of their ad variations.
When the creative process is finished, products are automatically linked to the designated ads and then published into existing campaigns in Wehkamp’s ad platforms!
