UK-based online grocery platform Ocado and Australian retail media platform CitrusAd have expanded their partnership to help suppliers grow their businesses.
The partnership aims to bring together the best grocery delivery and retail media technology and help brands and media agencies plan, purchase and optimise their media campaigns.
The platform will allow brands to launch self-managed sponsored products directly onto Ocado’s website and evaluate the results of their campaigns. It will also optimise customers’ experiences by showing them personalised advertisements.
The companies have announced that all suppliers will be invited to join the platform over the next 12-18 months.
Ocado chief commercial officer Christina Hawley said: “Our partnership with CitrusAd is a key moment in how we work with and support our suppliers.
