Scaling Trust: Hyper-Local Growth for MAC.BID
MAC.BID is an online auction platform offering overstock and returned items from major retailers like Target and Amazon. The model—bid online, pick up at a local warehouse—relies heavily on local trust. As the brand rapidly expanded into new markets, awareness lagged. Consumers were unsure of how the process worked or if the “too good to be true” deals were legitimate.
Our goal
Bridge the gap between expansion and reputation. We needed to build credibility within specific warehouse communities to drive foot traffic, attract new users, and increase bidding activity.
Strategy
We developed “The Summer of MAC.BID,” a scalable, multi-market activation strategy designed to build credibility fast. We utilized trusted, community-first environments—specifically Minor League Baseball—to introduce the brand, then reinforced that awareness through a full-funnel media mix.
- Sponsorships: extensive partnerships with MiLB teams including in-game assets, on-site activations, and giveaways.
- Media Mix: Layered broadcast TV, radio, programmatic OOH, and Pandora audio to surround the consumer.
- Publicity: Earned media and influencer outreach to provide third-party validation.
