tenthavenue’s S2B Launches BuyPoint
tenthavenue’s shopper agency S2B announced today that it has launched ‘BuyPoint,’ a new shopper content and media tool that fuses purchase data with in-store planning intelligence to enable marketers to optimize in-store content and placements towards improved sales and ROI.
The new tool, powered by purchase panel and survey data from consumer insights company InfoScout, enables marketers to develop optimal in-store media plans informed by a combination of shopper profiles, purchase behavior, surveys and store profiles. The purchase panel data combined with actual shopper surveys is used to clarify the ‘who, how and why’ people are buying today. BuyPoint then overlays the shopper purchase data with store profile and historical performance data from S2B’s proprietary Retail Destination Directory to identify the most effective media placements at the store level, delivering sales and ROI optimization into the hands of shopper marketers quicker than ever before.
Ann McGrath, Group Director, S2B said: “BuyPoint is designed to bring to market greater accountability, insight into the effectiveness of in-store messaging and media and, most importantly, improved performance.”
“As the largest agency buyer of third party in-store media in the United States today”, said Michael Lieberman, COO of tenthavenue North America, “S2B’s aim is to model the highest return on in-store investment for our clients and develop a robust audience intelligence that will continue to feed into messaging and placement strategy.”
Jared Schrieber, CEO of InfoScout said, “Brands deserve more from agencies than impressions, clicks and aggregate sales metrics as proxy measures of ROI from their marketing spend. InfoScout is proud to be a part of tenthavenue’s industry leading efforts to provide a true measure of ROI from their execution by observing changes in purchase behavior among the specific shoppers who were exposed versus those left unexposed.”
Two client launches are currently underway.
