Challenge
As Italy’s leading digital bank, Intesa Sanpaolo sought to strengthen its market position and expand its customer base in a highly competitive landscape. Their goal was to triple digital sales by 2023. A key component of this strategy was not only attracting new prospects but also boosting engagement with existing customers. Viewing the impending deprecation of cookies as both a challenge and an opportunity, they partnered with Wavemaker to explore and test cookieless advertising environments.
