PR Newswire | October 12, 2023
Tinuiti, the largest independent performance marketing firm across Streaming TV, Google, Meta, and Amazon, has been named as a premier launch partner for Microsoft Advertising Network for retail. Now, retailers can launch a profitable retail media program quickly to generate incremental sales and unlock additional high-margin revenue with high-quality ads.
The Microsoft Advertising Network for retail is also a great new opportunity for brand advertisers to generate incremental sales with their retail partners. Tinuiti brand clients have access to:
Ready-built retail media ad supply.
Access to a large high-intent shopper audience across Microsoft Advertising Network with co-sponsored product ads.
Real-time reporting to see detailed SKU level performance data.
We're excited to announce our partnership with Microsoft Retail Media to simplify how brands connect with more customers online by making the retail media activation process more efficient. The configuration closely mirrors a conventional Shopping campaign, while offering the additional capacity to optimize sales for our clients across multiple retailers and overseeing the listings of identical products on different platforms, said Evan Kirkpatrick, Vice President, Head of Shoppable Media at Tinuiti.
Skai's omnichannel marketing platform will be the first third-party platform integrated into this new retail solution, offering advertisers additional flexibility into how they buy retail media ads and monitor media spending.
Earlier this year, Tinuiti won two Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards — the Growth Media Division as Microsoft's Advertising Channel Partner of the Year, and the Search/Shoppable Media Division winning the Microsoft Advertising Client Partnership of the Year. These two accolades add to Tinuiti's list of Microsoft Partner Awards. Last year, Tinuiti took home Microsoft's two biggest awards: Global Agency of The Year and Agency Partner of the Year (Americas) — marking the first time any independent agency has ever done so.
The Microsoft Advertising Network for retail allows both retailers and advertisers to engage with shoppers across their customer journey from awareness to purchase. It is available in the US only today.

Loop Media, Inc. ("Loop Media") (NYSE American: LPTV), the free streaming television media company for business which provides over 2 billion video views every month via restaurants, retail businesses, office buildings, doctors’ offices, airports, bars, and college campuses, announced today that it has rolled out in beta testing a self-service video advertising platform (“Loops Ads Manager”) for local businesses and venues to advertise on the Loop Media platform. Loop Media believes this anticipated new line of advertising revenue could be a significant additional contributor to Loop Media’s revenue, as Loop Media seeks to capture local advertising dollars that do not generally flow through the larger ad demand partners working with regional and national advertisers.
Local and regional venues, services, brands, businesses, and agencies will be able to place ads on any of Loop TV networks’ 71,000+ screens, including partner screens, via the Loop Media Ads Manager, built in partnership with OrkaTV. This partnership is designed to empower local and regional marketers’ access to Loop Media’s powerful network at am.loop.tv.
“The Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) estimates that national advertising makes up 35% of the yearly out of home advertising revenue and this is the area where Loop Media has primarily participated in since its inception,” said Jon Niermann, Chief Executive Officer of Loop Media. “With Loop Ads Manager, which we’ve built for the growing local demand for our platform, we are now able to more aggressively participate in the local advertising revenue stream which makes up 65% of the annual out of home advertising revenue. In addition, we’re providing our customers--and essentially any local business--the opportunity to advertise directly on the Loop TV platform in their local markets or beyond. Advertisers will be able to select their choice of markets anywhere in the nation with a quick, efficient, easy to use tool, and at an advertising entry price point that a local business owner can justify and manage,” Niermann continued.
OrkaTV built the Loop Ads Manager on top of its best-in-class Streaming TV ad tech infrastructure. This enables Loop TV to offer differentiated features such as the proprietary “Venue Type” forecasting tool for targeting desired audiences watching TV-Out-of-Home (TVOOH) FAST channels. The Loop Ads Manager can ingest existing creative, or its creative experts with decades of experience can assist a business owner in creating a new ad with minimal input.
“We built the Loop Ads Manager to democratize the entire process and cut through the prohibitive cost thresholds, clutter and usability issues that are inherent in most DSPs,” said Mike Woods, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of OrkaTV. “The result is the easiest way for small businesses or any business to get their ads on Loop TV’s premium streaming TV channels,” he added.
“We love having Loop TV in our venue! We are even more excited to be able to efficiently advertise The Pink Tub in other venues in order to reach new customers in our local market at a cost that is affordable for us!” said Victoria E. Thomas-Bodie, Founder & Executive Vice President of Operations at The Pink Tub, an opulent organic handmade body and bath brand based in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Loop Ads Manager will begin service in beta-testing mode on September 21st.
