Nestle partnered with dunnhumby media to promote the launch of a new on-pack promotion to Tesco customers across owned and paid channels – in-store, mobile, online and out-of-home. Working closely together with Nestle, Tesco and a range of partners, dunnhumby media created an insight-driven, multi-channel media plan that reached 5.8 million customers and resulted in an 11 percent overall increase in sales. At the store level, stores with point of sale (POS) and JCD digital screens generated 33 percent sales increase versus 15 percent sales increase in stores with POS screens only.

• Delivers more efficient and effective customer engagement across retailer-owned and paid offsite media channels
• Increases the value of the retailer’s owned media by building incremental profit of 30 to 40 percent through in-store media (POS, digital screens, experiential); digital media (eCommerce, mobile app); and direct media (personalized email and coupons, customer magazine)
• Monetizes first-party data and activates other data assets to grow sales and profit

For advertisers, key benefits of dunnhumby media include:

• Activates personalized, brand-safe campaigns across channels with closed-loop reporting and actionable results
