We’re transforming media investment for brands

REDUCE WASTED IMPRESSIONS

Our targeting science applies purchase data, machine learning, and a team of data scientists to forecast the most qualified audience. When applied to offsite media, we can identify households with 3x more attributable sales than the average shopper.

Understand True Business Outcomes

Matching ad exposure to a purchase (online and in-store) means we truly close the loop of attribution. Control groups isolate the impact of ad spending. Brands can view incremental sales lift, ROAS, category share and household penetration shifts.

Inspire customers at every stage of their journey

We identify the best households and the best touchpoints for your brand. From awareness, to getting on the shopping-list, to the winning in the aisle.  KPM connects consumers to brands through engaging moments that inspire purchasing online or in-store:

  • Onsite Search: Product listing ads appear in the search results and product carousels on Kroger properties. These boost advertised products to people who are actively shopping in a relevant category.
  • Onsite Display: Targeted display advertising and coupons on Kroger ecommerce sites. These build visibility and purchase intent with specific in-market shoppers in a category or complementary categories.
  • Advanced TV/OTT: Applies Kroger data through Roku to improve the effectiveness and reach of TV campaigns. Kroger data focuses dollars on the most relevant TV audience and then measures campaign effectiveness through sales.
  • Social and Influencer: Exclusive targeting capability on the world’s largest social platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Reaches relevant audiences looking for inspiration on social platforms and activate them to purchase.
  • Off-site Advertising: Reaches the most valuable prospects in high-impact formats (display, audio, and video) and activates them to purchase. Reduces waste by only targeting the best households across the open web and connecting them to Kroger commerce.
  • Email/Direct: Brands can speak directly to loyal Kroger shoppers through email and push notifications. Leverages Kroger’s trusted customer relationships to drive consideration and purchase with the most relevant households.
