In-Flight Campaign Optimization for CPG: Why Brands Are Switching to InMarket

Steer Your Media Spend While the Campaign Is Still Live

CPG brands can end up waiting weeks — sometimes months — after a campaign ends to see if it actually moved the needle at the shelf. By the time the data arrives, the budget is spent and the opportunity to pivot is gone.

InMarket provides a weekly refresh cadence and 24/7 dashboard access, so you can shift spend from underperforming tactics to winning ones while your campaign is still running.

See Which Retailers Are Actually Driving Your Lift

Aggregate lift numbers don’t tell you where to double down.

InMarket breaks out performance across 20+ individual retailers — including natural and specialty retail — so you can see exactly where your media is driving purchases. That level of granularity lets you optimize smarter and tell a sharper story to your retail partners.

One Price. In-Flight and Post-Campaign. No Surprises.

In-flight optimization and post-campaign reporting shouldn’t mean separate fees and fractured workflows.

InMarket bundles both into a single package at a single price — so you get the full picture without budget surprises or vendor gymnastics.

Beyond Walled Gardens: Total Market Sales Lift

A single retailer’s loyalty program captures only a fraction of where your shoppers actually buy. If your measurement is limited to one chain, you’re missing the full picture.

InMarket measures total market sales lift — connecting omnichannel ad impressions to actual purchase data across Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and more.
