MiQ Commerce empowers CPG advertisers to measure the effectiveness of their brand campaigns on in-store sales. 

Toronto, ON – September 10, 2024 – MiQ Canada, a leading managed service programmatic media company for agencies and brands, has announced the launch of MiQ Commerce, a first-to-market solution allowing CPG brands to attribute in-store sales directly to brand marketing activations. The new solution is the result of a data agreement with NielsenIQ (NIQ), a leading global provider of retail measurement and consumer intelligence services. 

MiQ Commerce integrates NIQ’s Precision Areas modelled retail sales data with MiQ’s proprietary suite of shopper insights and omnichannel programmatic expertise. CPG brands now have access to comprehensive point-of-sale modelled data down to the forward sortation area (FSA) level, enabling them to measure the effectiveness of their brand campaigns in specific geographical areas. 

Combined with data-driven insights into what consumers are actively watching, browsing, and buying, MiQ Commerce allows advertisers to unify their media planning, activation, and measurement across retailers, TV, and the open web. 

“Our solution offers global coverage with precise local market insights, enabling thorough measurement of sales lift from media activations,” said Lana Busignani, General Manager, Global Media Division of NielsenIQ.

“This unique collaboration marks a significant step toward enhancing MiQ’s AdTech solutions, promising deeper analytics and more impactful outcomes.” 

With the expansion of media channels, tech platforms, and retail networks across the digital advertising landscape, CPG advertisers need a solution to understand how their holistic marketing strategies are driving sales locally. With MiQ Commerce, they can deploy and measure their brand marketing efforts on channels like Connected TV, monitor the post-campaign impact on in-store sales in specific Forward Sortation Areas (FSAs) and apply actionable insights into their ongoing activations. 

“With more than CA$2.8Bbn spent by CPG brands in digital advertising, we see a significant opportunity to innovate programmatic advertising solutions that break down silos and unify measurement,” said Jason Furlano, Chief Revenue Officer of MiQ Canada. “The collaboration with NielsenIQ powers our MiQ Commerce solution, enabling brands and advertisers to measure how their advertising investments are driving in-store sales for the entirety of their campaign.”
