Strategy

Digital visibility meets physical redemption

"ICA has Sweden's largest food account on Instagram – by being visible there, you reach a great many people," says Erik. Through Engage, that digital reach is combined with the ability to download and redeem a mobile discount coupon directly in store.

"Digital visibility together with a coupon on the shelf is the optimal mix," says Sofia Schöldström, Head of KAM at Clearon.
