The challenge.

What PUSH did.

PUSH used AI to clean and sort over 3,000 school-related keywords by gender and shoe type, then ran a competitor gap analysis and used Search Console and GA4 data to rank the opportunities by URL. Content was written with an in-house AI tool trained on Clarks' brand guidelines, built around real customer questions from email, and checked by Clarks' visual merchandisers.

The campaign won Best Use of AI in Search at the UK Search Awards 2025.
