IRI and Yieldbot Alliance Expanded to Help Brands Boost Sales

New Solutions Expand Capabilities to Enhance Targeting, Optimize Campaigns In-Flight and Drive Superior Results

CHICAGO & NEW YORK--()--IRI® today announced an expanded alliance with Yieldbot, designed to bring deeper, more valuable insights and elevated sales performance to consumer packaged goods (CPG) marketers and retailers. The suite of solutions created through the alliance enhances audience targeting, improves the accuracy of sales lift measurements and enables in-campaign optimization.

The joint effort enables Yieldbot and IRI to integrate all of IRI’s products and solutions — including matched market sales lift studies; IRI ProScores®, one of the industry’s most advanced, purchase-based, predictive shopper insights solutions; and IRI Lift™, the industry’s only on-demand, online-to-offline media sales lift measurement solution — with Yieldbot’s real-time intent platform, IntentRank. IntentRank, Yieldbot’s machine learning system, recognizes and scores the active motivation of consumers and responds with relevant brand messages to produce superior measured performance.

“The ability to capture consumers’ motivations in the moment to deliver the most relevant message — and then to enable the media to be optimized based on the in-store response of those consumers — is the pinnacle of what marketers are trying to accomplish today,” said Nishat Mehta, president, IRI Media Center of Excellence. “This expanded relationship provides IRI and Yieldbot clients with valuable insights and elevated sales performance while also delivering targeted, relevant and impactful communications to consumers that inspire action.”

IRI’s big data and media solutions, when combined with IntentRank’s machine learning algorithms that identify a shopper’s real-time intent, will bring valuable insights to CPG brands regarding the efficacy of their media spend, as well as a clearer understanding of their shopper audience.

“In IRI, Yieldbot has a partner who values the same things that our clients value: relevancy, brand safety, first-party data and measurement,” said Chris Copeland, president of Yieldbot. “Yieldbot’s ability to identify consumers’ real-time intent and deliver the most relevant message in the moments that matter most, coupled with IRI’s powerful offline purchase data and product set, provides CPG marketers with the tools needed to increase sales performance.”
