"Working with Walmart Connect made it easy to connect with shoppers where they were already engaged and making purchases. By bringing the experience to Walmart locations across Canada, we removed friction and made it simple for people to participate and our digital placements helped carry that momentum beyond the store, creating one connected omnichannel journey."
