Budget Savings Across Media & Creative

Changing the conversation around constipation relief took more than shelf presence—it demanded strategic storytelling and precise targeting. By grounding the brand in empathy and performance-driven media, Colace moved from just another option in the laxative aisle to a trusted go-to for gentle, doctor-recommended relief.

Challenge

Media Underdelivery & Over Spend. No Clear ROI.

In a crowded digestive health aisle, Colace was losing ground. Trust alone wasn’t driving sales—and competitors were outspending and outshouting the brand at every turn. To spark a true comeback, Colace had to do more than rebuild credibility—it had to reignite momentum.  

Crowded Market, Misdirected Messaging

Inefficient Spending in a High-Stakes Battle

Lack of Sales Attribution in a Market that Demands Proof

Mile Marker needed to reinforce Colace’s position as the doctor-recommended choice for gentle, dependable relief. With precise audience targeting and brand-right storytelling, we helped Colace reach new consumers, drive preference, and maintain its leadership in the stool softener category.
