Solution

Brave’s audience is tech savvy and hard to reach with traditional digital ads—because they use the ad-blocking Brave browser, and because they’re less likely to use social media and paid cable or satellite TV. When asked about Brave Ads campaigns, only 16% of users report seeing ads from the same brand outside the browser via other media channels.

This hard-to-reach audience was a perfect fit to help Chipotle expand their reach and drive measurable return on investment with new customers.

To help announce their new Garlic Guajillo Steak, Chipotle leveraged a mix of top- and bottom-funnel formats in Brave. They opted for a 24-hour sponsorship of the new tab page, paired with Notification ads, which advertised the Garlic Guajillo Steak in addition to their mobile app and online ordering options.
