At Home partnered with Angler AI to test whether a unified, predictive signal could outperform its existing Meta infrastructure. Across parallel Conversion Lift Studies for acquisition and retention, Angler outperformed BAU across every key metric—driving significantly stronger incremental revenue, lower CAC, and positive omnichannel lift.

At Home is a specialty home décor and furnishings retailer operating a large footprint of big-box stores across the U.S., offering one of the broadest assortments in the category. As an omnichannel business, At Home drives meaningful sales both online and in-store — making accurate signals across both channels essential to efficient paid media performance.
At Home wanted to determine whether a more unified, predictive data signal could improve Meta campaign performance across both customer acquisition and retention. Specifically, the team aimed to:

Angler AI deployed its Predictive Conversions API (P-CAPI), replacing At Home's channel-specific signal setup with a single, unified omnichannel signal connecting both online and in-store purchase events. Running in parallel with At Home's existing BAU setup, Angler's P-CAPI fed Meta a richer, more complete view of customer purchase behavior, supercharged with predictive intelligence — enabling the algorithm to optimize ad delivery to shoppers likeliest to convert in-store or online.
Angler outperformed business-as-usual across both acquisition and retention, driving significantly higher incremental volume and revenue—particularly through strong in-store lift.

“We entered this test with the goal of improving acquisition efficiency. The results exceeded expectations: a 4x lift in omnichannel ROAS, a more than 50% reduction in CAC, and customers demonstrating significantly higher long-term value. Angler didn’t just improve performance metrics—it reshaped our approach to signal strategy in paid media.”

Auction Efficiency & Scale
Angler improved auction performance with lower CPMs, higher reach, and lower frequency—indicating stronger targeting and clear headroom to scale efficiently.
Long-Term Value
Customers acquired through Angler delivered higher downstream value:
Angler drives not just more conversions, but higher-quality customers - and can move the needle both online and in-store.
"As At Home’s media and measurement partner, we’re focused on finding solutions that actually move the needle - not just add complexity. Angler’s Predictive CAPI simplified the signal architecture and delivered stronger performance across acquisition and retention audiences. The downstream LTV impact sealed it for us."
