Quad/Graphics, Inc., a global marketing experience company, has partnered with Swiftly, a leading retail technology and media company, to distribute engaging brand content on In-Store Connect by Quad, an in-store retail media network (RMN). The collaboration supports Quad’s ongoing focus to advance the in-store shopping experience by leveraging Swiftly’s industry-leading platform to bring the best elements of digital commerce into physical store environments.
Earlier this year, Quad established itself as a leader in the emerging in-store RMN space with the acquisition of DART Innovation and the launch of In-Store Connect, which positions digital screens and kiosks throughout stores, giving retailers and consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands more opportunities to deliver relevant promotions, share key product information, and connect adjacent product options to shoppers. Swiftly’s innovative approach and deep industry expertise will help CPGs reach shoppers on the Quad in-store retail media network, delivering a unique omnichannel experience for both brands and retailers.
“As engagement with mobile applications, online circulars and electronic coupons rises, introducing digital communication throughout stores expands on what today’s consumers want: a shopping experience that seamlessly integrates both online and in-store elements. For today’s brands and brick-and-mortar retailers, introducing advancements like in-store digital communication is crucial to retaining a loyal customer base and staying relevant in this ever-evolving market,” said Eric Ashworth, President of Quad Agency Solutions and Executive Vice President of Product & Market Strategy. “With In-Store Connect, Quad is at the forefront of this trend, and Swiftly’s singularly in-depth understanding of the ecosystem is aligned with our focus of continuously enhancing the in-store shopping experience.”
