How We Influenced Customers to Think! at Walmart

April 12, 2025

When a brand is stocked on the shelves of a retail giant like Walmart, it’s a massive opportunity—but also a massive challenge. With countless products competing for attention, even the best can get overlooked. So how do you ensure your product doesn’t just sit on the shelf, but flies off it?

That was the question Think! needed to answer.

The Brand Behind the Bar

Think!® was born in 1999 out of Lizanne Falsetto’s desire to blend wellness, flavor, and convenience. As a single mom and passionate entrepreneur, Lizanne began creating nutrient-rich snacks that kept up with her on-the-go lifestyle. Her mission—eat well, live well, feel great—has remained the brand’s north star ever since.

With presence across the U.S. and Canada and a growing loyal customer base, Think! was ready to make its next big move: boost performance at one of the world’s biggest retailers, Walmart.

The Challenge: Stand Out on the Shelf

Walmart shelves are stacked—literally and figuratively. Think! wanted to increase visibility, drive awareness, and ultimately boost sales across Canadian Walmart locations, both in-store and online. They also wanted high-quality content that could be repurposed across ads and social channels.

The goal? Make Think! bars the product shoppers look for, not just discover.

The Strategy: Tap Into the Power of Influence

Think! partnered with Creator.co to launch a fully-managed influencer campaign focused on three key outcomes:

  1. Drive Foot Traffic & Sales at Walmart

  2. Generate On-Brand Content to fuel future campaigns

  3. Educate & Inspire through authentic shopping experiences

Here’s how we made it happen:

🛒 Shopping Stories
Over a 60-day period, waves of both micro and macro creators were sent on in-store and online shopping journeys. Their mission? Find Think! bars at Walmart, share the experience, and inspire their audiences to do the same.

⚙️ Full Campaign Automation

The Results: Sold Out Success

Let’s just say... it worked.
