THE SITUATION
A major Indian FMCG brand — strong offline with a wide product range across biscuits, snacks, chocolates, and gifting hampers — had almost no digital presence despite real consumer demand. Its website attracted low traffic, zero non-branded discovery, and had no D2C infrastructure to convert visitors. INTIN was brought in to close the digital gap, build the commerce engine, and scale it commercially.
WHAT INTIN DID
1
DIGITAL BENCHMARKING
SEO & Competitive Diagnostic
- Mapped domain authority, backlink profile, keyword coverage, and traffic structure against the category leader
- Identified a significant keyword gap — the brand was absent from nearly all non-branded category search terms
- Modelled the competitor's content and backlink strategy to define the path to domain authority growth
2
PLATFORM BUILD
D2C Commerce Platform & SKU Architecture
- Built the brand's direct commerce storefront — product listings, pricing, and fulfilment operations from zero
- Designed SKU and bundling architecture — shifting from smaller to larger pack configurations to improve order value
3
COMMERCIAL STRATEGY
B2B Gifting Pivot & Channel Strategy
- Identified that pure D2C had velocity constraints — pivoted to a B2B-anchored gifting strategy targeting Tier 2 retailers
- Built the B2B sales play for seasonal and corporate gifting as a high-velocity complement to D2C
4
CREATIVE & CONTENT
AI-Generated Creative Pipeline
- Replaced traditional influencer marketing with AI-generated facial creative assets — reducing cost while maintaining visual quality
- Built a replicable content pipeline enabling sustained campaign output without per-shoot overhead
5
MARKETPLACE OPTIMISATION
Marketplace Rankings & Organic Visibility
- Optimised marketplace listings and product pages to improve search ranking and conversion rates
- Deployed metadata and content strategy to build organic visibility across gifting and FMCG search terms

CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED
DIGITAL INVISIBILITY
100% of traffic was branded — zero non-branded keyword discovery or organic category presence.
WEAK DOMAIN AUTHORITY
Backlink profile a fraction of the category leader's — no blogs, news, or forum links building authority.
HIGH BOUNCE, NO CONVERSION
Organic visitors arrived but churned — no transactional infrastructure to capture purchase intent.
NO D2C INFRASTRUCTURE
No commerce platform, no fulfilment logic, and no digital sales pipeline existed.
COMPETITOR DOMINANCE
Category leader held 10× the traffic, 6× the backlinks, and 200× the keyword rankings.
MISSING KEYWORD GAP
Significant keyword opportunities across gifting and FMCG categories the brand was entirely absent from.
