PMI needed to build sustained awareness for its IQOS range in a highly regulated category, where traditional media channels severely limit tobacco-adjacent advertising at scale.

Alkimi runs simultaneous auctions for all ad slots on a page, enabling full-page dominance with zero competitor noise driving results like a 3× brand awareness lift across premium placements on Bloomberg, WSJ, and the Financial Times.
