NIQ Teams to Offer Retail Media Outcome Measurement

Another NIQ partnership. The global consumer intelligence firm has announced a strategic collaboration with retail media network Unlimitail, bringing advanced measurement and consumer insights to the medium, and linking media exposure to verified sales outcomes.

Unlimitail's extensive retail media network spans 21 countries, 35 retailers, more than 120 retailer websites, and over 250 million loyalty cardholders. Combining these with NIQ's measurement, analytics and consumer intelligence capabilities will give advertisers an improved understanding of the true business impact of retail media investments, as well as providing deeper consumer and category insights and a consistent view of performance across retailers, markets and channels.

The agreement will see Unlimitail deploy NIQ's measurement capabilities as a core component of its ecosystem, alongside a new data clean room environment and enhanced adtech infrastructure. The roll-out will begin with Carrefour operations in France, Spain, and Brazil, with pilot programs launching this summer.

Users will now be able to compare performance across markets and retailers, standardize measurement across retailer ecosystems, and generate richer consumer, category and market insights to improve campaign planning and optimization.

Emilie Darolles (pictured), NIQ's President, West Europe states: 'Retail media is becoming one of the most important growth engines for brands and retailers, but its future depends on trust, transparency, and measurable business outcomes. As commerce and media continue to converge, brands need a consistent way to understand what is driving performance across markets, retailers, and channels.' According to Unlimitail CEO Alexis Marcombe, 'Retail media has evolved from an emerging channel into a strategic pillar of modern marketing. Our ambition is to provide brands and retailers with the tools, data, and technology they need to unlock greater value from every campaign. By integrating NIQ's trusted measurement capabilities into our ecosystem, we're enabling a new level of transparency and performance accountability that will benefit advertisers, retailers, and consumers alike.'
