IRI®, a fast-growing global technology leader in innovative solutions and services for consumer, retail and media companies, announced the launch of IRI Lift™ for Facebook, which will enable CPG manufacturers and retailers to measure the offline sales impact of their advertising campaigns across Facebook and Instagram.
Expands IRI Lift coverage to digital advertising’s largest social channel
Enables closed-loop measurement and optimization of social advertising impact for CPG retail sales using IRI’s unparalleled loyalty card data assets
The new solution combines Facebook’s media exposure data with IRI’s vast point-of-sale, frequent shopper and causal data to provide accurate, granular and household-level insights. Advertisers will be able to maximize their Facebook advertising learning agenda; quantify the true return of various activation elements; and evaluate their campaign strategy, messaging, audiences and more to drive optimal performance.
“We are very excited to be launching this solution for advertisers on Facebook, one of the largest and most sophisticated digital advertising platforms in the market today,” said Nishat Mehta, chief product officer and president of the IRI Media Center of Excellence. “The addition of Facebook and Instagram measurement to our robust suite of Lift solutions makes IRI the industry’s most effective partner for capturing the in-store sales impact of online advertising impressions across all digital media and television partners. Now our clients can leverage our enhanced Lift suite and industry-leading shopper loyalty data assets to accurately and granularly measure returns on their total advertising spend, and make the informed, data-driven decisions they need to execute more productive campaigns and win in the market. And at the same time, consumers benefit from a more relevant ad experience.”
The launch of IRI Lift for Facebook expands on IRI’s existing measurement partnership with Facebook, which also includes marketing mix. In addition, Facebook and Instagram campaigns can be supported by IRI’s 100% deterministic, purchase-based audiences, derived from over 500 million loyalty cards for the highest levels of targeting accuracy. Combining all three solutions helps advertisers make smarter investments by better allocating media spend across platforms, targeting the right consumers and closing the loop by measuring campaigns via household sales lift.

ADVERTISER CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT
Clinch | February 23, 2022
Clinch, the "Personalization Everywhere" company that leads the industry in AI-driven omnichannel personalization (DCO) and dynamic ad-serving, today announced the launch of Flight Control, the very first powerful SaaS platform built to eliminate complexity in campaign workflows and make agencies and internal brand media organizations more efficient and profitable.
Already integrated with the leading audience, data, and distribution companies like The Trade Desk, DV360, LG Ad Solutions, Facebook, OUTFRONT, LiveRamp, and others, Flight Control allows advertisers and agencies to build and run complex, highly personalized campaigns across all channels without requiring specialized knowledge or strenuous integration work.
By unifying campaign management in one end-to-end platform -- from strategy to media planning, creative to trafficking, with mid- and post-campaign analytics -- all stakeholders can work easily together, solving for the fragmentation in the current process.
By automating all channel specific workflows into one visual framework, Flight Control removes the need for technical expertise or silos for channels like CTV, OTT, programmatic, social, native, DOOH, and more. By handling all channels and phases of a campaign in one system, Flight Control eliminates delays and errors and provides unprecedented real-time analytics and predictive modeling to improve campaign performance from launch through campaign end.
"Flight Control is a representation of what Clinch has always sought to do with creative personalization from the client perspective, which is to simplify the logic-building that enables successful DCO campaigns across all channels," said Oz Etzioni, CEO of Clinch. "It's no secret that until now, the process of planning, activating and then measuring campaign performance has introduced almost as much friction into campaigns as it is intended to solve."
Many teams are already using Flight Control alongside Clinch's Smart Ad Serving, a powerful platform that provides real-time analytics and enables adjustments and optimizations throughout the lifecycle of the campaign, reporting not only on what combinations of creative elements performed but also on why they performed.
As Dynamic Creative Optimization continues to change the media landscape at a breakneck pace, we see Clinch as a standout for their focus on constant innovation to meet the demands of the market and our clients. To date, the industry has really been missing an intuitive UI to create, manage and maintain DCO campaigns across all paid media channels. We're thrilled to be the first agency to pilot Clinch's new Flight Control interface and see it as a major evolutionary tool that will take agency enablement to the next level. Flight Control is the game changer we've been waiting for."
Amy Thorne, EVP, Performance Creative Business Lead at Merkle.
Clinch has become the go-to omnichannel personalization platform for marketers across the globe. With the launch of Flight Control, Clinch intends to help the entire industry eliminate the vexing process challenges that have endangered practitioners and businesses for years.
