More than 70 new partners and channels for programmatic display, programmatic digital out-of-home, connected TV (CTV), audio channels, and more can be added to MarketMedia’s client and brand campaigns. This allows for improved targeting of audiences with the intention of making a purchase on the open internet.

With the help of The Warehouse Group’s first-party data audiences, which number over 4.5 million, and MarketMedia’s self-service platform Zitcha, the alliance provides local companies with a wide range of advertising inventory alternatives through The Trade Desk.

By integrating The Trade Desk to the MarketMedia platform we can offer never-before seen solutions that aims to expand our client’s capabilities.”

Our partnership with The Warehouse Group and MarketMedia can help advertisers reach The Warehouse Group’s customers across the open internet and close the loop between advertising activity and real-world sales.”

“With leaders like The Warehouse Group, we’re driving the industry forward and helping advertisers across New Zealand work towards tangible performance improvements that translate to real business results,” Bayes added. 

New Zealand – MarketMedia, the retail media network of The Warehouse Group, has teamed up with tech giant Meta to launch ‘Meta Managed Partner Ads’ (MPA), allowing MarketMedia clients and brands to run highly targeted Meta campaigns at scale.

The technology works by applying insights captured from on-site, off-site, and in-store data from The Warehouse Group’s online stores, apps, and millions of weekly visits to The Warehouse, Noel Leeming, TheMarket, Warehouse Stationery and Torpedo7.

Moreover, Meta’s MPA delivers unprecedented capabilities for retailers and brand partners to track and measure off-site video and image ad performance down to the SKU level, while safeguarding user data, and helping brands navigate the impending death of the cookie. The offering is also available through MarketMedia’s self-service platform Zitcha.

Blaine Hudson, head of product, platforms and data at MarketMedia, said, “The transformative power of MPA will revolutionise the effectiveness of ad campaigns, and we’re excited to be the first retail media partner in the world who can offer it. We can now help our clients and brands execute world-class marketing across all points of the marketing funnel, both on and off network.”

She added, “We can reach audience groups beyond our own channels, optimise our reach and help brands talk to the right audiences, in the right moment when they’re scrolling their social feeds – it’s cutting-edge retail innovation designed to maximise return on investment, and we’re really proud of the difference it will make for Kiwi businesses.”

Meanwhile, Troy Townsend, CEO at Zitcha, says, “Meta’s MPA is a game changer for retailers and brand partners to leverage Meta’s channels for their off-site retail media networks. We are seeing massive demand from brands to move marketing dollars from traditional channels into retailers with off-site capabilities that show, in real-time, the return on advertising spend.”

He added, “Our strong relationship with Meta has enabled Zitcha to effectively leverage MPA for forward- thinking retail media networks such as MarketMedia that want to extend and capitalise on their off-site media channels quickly and at scale.”
