Instacart, Trade Desk announce new partnership

Instacart (CART) and The Trade Desk (TTD) announced a new partnership to help select CPG advertisers enrich their programmatic campaigns with the power of retail media. The partnership aims to make CPG advertisers’ media buys more data-driven on The Trade Desk by enabling them to reach purchase-minded audiences based on Instacart’s consumer behavior and product purchase data. Pilot partners, including Beam Suntory and GroupM, will soon be able to build and activate Instacart-informed audiences across omnichannel media buys through The Trade Desk. By taking this data-driven approach, CPG brand partners will be able to broaden their reach beyond Instacart’s platform and connect with high-intent consumers ahead of their next grocery shop across CTV and display channels offered by The Trade Desk.
