Grocery TV, a leading in-store retail media platform, has added Northeast Grocery, Inc. (NGI) to its growing network which will help scale NGI’s retail media efforts to deliver even more value to both brands and shoppers.

NGI, the parent company of Market 32, Price Chopper, and Tops Friendly Markets

, is a leading regional grocer known for its fresh-forward merchandising, thoughtfully designed store layouts, and delivering high-quality products and services at exceptional value. NGI selected Grocery TV for their consultative approach and industry expertise.

Through the partnership, Grocery TV will power digital screens in NGI’s 300 stores across its six-state footprint, introducing more dynamic and engaging promotions to shoppers. This supports NGI’s ongoing commitment to elevating the in-store experience through thoughtful, customer-focused innovation.

Grocery TV’s consultative approach resulted in a tailored in-store offering for Northeast Grocery, ensuring that digital signage seamlessly integrates into each store’s unique layout. Strategically placed screens will highlight relevant content throughout high-traffic zones like entrance, checkout, and pharmacy. Northeast Grocery will incorporate Grocery TV’s newly launched Digital Ironman, to replace traditional print signage at store entrances for a cleaner look and feel.

“We’ve extensively researched how in-store marketing impacts shoppers, and those insights drive the development of our offerings,” said Don Oelke, co-founder and COO of Grocery TV. “With nearly 90% of grocery purchases still happening in-store, we’re focused on creating opportunities for retailers and brands to engage with shoppers at the most impactful moments while upholding the store experience retailers work so hard to create.”

By integrating Grocery TV’s platform, NGI gains new capabilities to deliver timely, relevant messaging, enabling brands to reach shoppers when intent is high and they’re ready to make a purchase.

“Grocery TV brings the scale and expertise to help our marketing team drive retail media revenue growth in ways that align with our mission to preserve the high-quality, service-oriented shopping experience our customers count on,” said Diane Colgan, SVP of Marketing for NGI. “We prioritize partnerships that enhance our omnichannel experience, and this adds another valuable, impactful way for us and brands to connect with our shoppers.”

ECN Launches Digital Art Gallery Month

April 9th, 2025

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

ECN has announced a partnership with Sedition, a leading platform for digital art whereby during April 2025, ECN’s Digital Art Gallery Month will showcase a curated selection of contemporary digital artworks on digital screens located in the foyers of premium London offices.

Paul McBeth, Global Marketing Director, ECN told us “Digital art reflects everything ECN delivers for its commercial office real estate partners – a real-time, adaptable and dynamic expression of the office’s brand identity, which creates an ever-evolving connection with both tenants and visitors.”

Offices have long displayed traditional artworks to create a positive impression and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the foyer.

However, digital art expands upon this premise by providing more flexibility as it can accommodate an array of communication objectives. For example, digital art can be adapted to reflect the changing seasons or on-site or community events. Additionally, the nature of digital art means it can display different visual forms, including moving images, animations, and 3D, which traditional art cannot accommodate.

Tube Trains Trigger Blended Naked Smoothies

April 9th, 2025

Andrew Neale

Naked Smoothies is bringing a fresh burst of energy to the Elizabeth line with a new digital out-of-home campaign featuring the fruit ingredients of its signature smoothie being blended by passing trains in the first ever train-triggered creative on the Transport for London network.

Emma Holmes, Marketing Brand Manager at Naked, said “Naked Smoothies are here to give people a natural energy boost and help them go about their busy day. The Get Naked, Get Going campaign works brilliantly on the London Underground where people are constantly on the move. Being able to dynamically adapt the ads to external cues gives the campaign an additional layer of engagement and relevance for passengers.”

The brand’s vibrant, full-motion ads encourage Elizabeth line passengers to “Get Naked, Get Going”. Using dynamic creative, the ads are linked to the train timetables, with messages including “Your Boost, Now Arriving”, “Heathrow bound? Get Naked, Get Going.” and “Heading East?”.

Chris Forrester, Managing Director of Outdoor at Global, told us “I love this campaign from Naked Smoothies and I can’t wait to see it in real life on my commute. It’s this type of creativity and inspiration that’s captivating and shows the capacity of outdoor advertising to brighten customer journeys.”

The campaign has taken over all digital screens on the Elizabeth line platforms at Tottenham Court Road for two weeks.

Chris Reader, Head of Commercial Media at Transport for London, added: “This campaign is an exciting way to engage with the thousands of people travelling through Tottenham Court Road on the Elizabeth line. It’s great to see how advertisers can use our estate in an innovative and fun way to bring new experiences to Londoners.”

The campaign was created in partnership with Omnicom-owned digital content agency ArtBotAI.

Oliver Thurtle, Head of DOOH at ArtBot AI told us “Utilising Transport for London’s data, we’ve been able to build a system that takes advantage of train arrival information on the Elizabeth line. The tech updates every minute so that has allowed us to show relevant creative at the right moment as trains arrive, and when they are on the platform. I’m excited for commuters to see the ads on their journeys all this week and next”.

Programmatic Guaranteed @PlaceExchange Expansion

April 8th, 2025

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Place Exchange, the leading independent supply-side platform (SSP) for programmatic Digital Out of Home this week announced the expansion of its Programmatic Guaranteed offering, supporting guaranteed deals between buyers and sellers for DOOH inventory.

The vast majority of DOOH transactions today occur via direct sales between media owners and buyers. Such direct transactions, often for premium inventory, offer the buyer and seller definitive assurance in advance around where, when, and how many impressions will run, and at what price. However, the process can be labor intensive – especially when buying across multiple media owners – requiring management of multiple sets of deals and insertion orders, manual data entry, disjointed reporting, and separate billing and payments.
