Kum & Go will tap into Catalina’s Buyervision to deliver personalized digital media. The partnership also will support Catalina’s portfolio of digital products, including Audiences, Measurement and HUB360, to deliver personalized digital media that is measured in near real time by actual purchases rather than impressions or clicks. To do so, Catalina leverages its scaled dataset of anonymized shopper data from more than 90 million households and more than 11 billion shopper trips annually, providing relevant ad messages and offers to consumers with purchase-based targeting. In the process it measures the impact of media tied to actual in-store sales that correlate to ad exposures, thereby reducing ad waste.

Adding that purchase data to Catalina’s unrivaled Shopper Intelligence Database will yield further insights into cross-channel buying behavior that should further strengthen Kum & Go’s business as well as our own.”
