Data-driven shopping: Mike Tyquin outlines Cartology plan
Former Adshel and Eye chief executive Mike Tyquin says Cartology will help brands boost sales by up to 70 per cent as it begins its supermarket screen rollout (AFR).
Key points:
- "Weʼre moving well beyond generic targeting … that most media companies are working with” – Tyquin
- “You won’t see lots of screens [in stores] … but targeted screens that are very relevant to the point of the shopper journey” – Tyquin
- Paid search now available for supermarket suppliers
- Screen network rollout complete Q2 2019/20 for supermarkets, BWS, Dan Murphy’s, Big W to follow
Now Tyquin and Cartology have broken cover, expect them to be extremely active with media agencies and marketers in the coming months.
Putting screens in front of people pushing shopping trolleys at the last point before their purchase decision makes imminent sense.
Across Woolworth’s growing digital media and analytics stack, Tyquin suggests its transactional level data can boost sales up to 70 per cent, and puts Woolies ahead of the competition (which is now other media channels). But if it’s promising that kind of uplift, it has to deliver the goods.
