Masterbuilt And Kamado Joe Turn Up The Heat Up On Amazon Advertising With Tombras And Skai

Challenge

Masterbuilt and their sister brand, Kamado Joe, sought meaningful revenue growth. They looked for new opportunities to reach customers beyond their traditional retail channels – The Home Depot, Walmart, and Lowe’s.

To achieve their goals, Masterbuilt and Kamado Joe chose to double down on Amazon Advertising. Their agency, Tombras, partnered with Skai Ecommerce to develop and execute a winning strategy.

Solution

The Tombras team implemented a tightly refined campaign structure focused on the strengths of the Masterbuilt and Kamado Joe catalogs. They chose Skai as a key partner to help them maximize efficiency, drive informed decision-making, and optimize bids toward business goals.

Skai’s comprehensive reporting and analytics suite provided deep visibility into program performance, allowing them to derive insights and spot opportunities to refine strategy. In addition, the team leveraged Skai Portfolio Optimization (KPO) to automatically optimize bids across multiple campaigns towards True North KPIs. KPO automatically made hundreds of bid adjustments per day during one of the busiest times of the year.

Results

Masterbuilt and Kamado Joe hit new performance records with Tombras and Skai. Sales and ROAS for Masterbuilt grew by 44% and 24%, respectively. Kamado Joe’s sales skyrocketed by 1390%.
