Together, Instacart and Roku are making TV moments shoppable for high-intent customers. In an expanded partnership, the leading grocery technology company in North America and the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S. are providing the massive scale and valuable insights that consumer-packaged goods (CPG) advertisers need to connect with relevant audiences. With interactive ad formats, enhanced targeting capabilities, and closed-loop measurement, these brands can now get more from their advertising efforts—and consumers are one step closer to effortless and personalized shopping experiences while watching TV in the comfort of their homes.
Instacart and Roku first partnered in 2023 to offer advertisers insights to measure the impact of TV ads on e-commerce purchases. Numerous brands including Josh Cellars have leveraged the Instacart x Roku advertising partnership. This collaboration is showing strong results that demonstrate the power of integrating streaming and shopping, translating advertisers’ media efforts to sales. On average, across multiple advertisers, 52% of streamers who purchased a product they saw advertised on Roku via Instacart were new-to-brand.
The new Instacart and Roku advertising capabilities now available to all advertisers include:
“We are proud to expand our partnership with Roku, creating an advertising experience that helps people see an ad and get that product from their TV screen to their doorstep in as fast as an hour,” said Tim Castelli, Vice President of Global Advertising Sales at Instacart. “With our combined scale and advanced data insights, we’re delivering precision targeting, highly relevant ads, and measurable outcomes in a privacy-compliant way to drive performance at a new level. Together, we are transforming how CPGs connect with consumers, making every ad not just an impression, but a direct pathway to purchase.”
“In 2023, we partnered with Instacart to unlock TV measurement. Now, a year later, we’re turning our attention to what every modern CPG marketer needs: massive scale and full-funnel solutions,” said Jay Askinasi, SVP, Head of Global Media Revenue and Growth at Roku. “Advertisers can utilize even more of the Roku experience, from Home Screen ad placements to interactive shoppable ads. With the click of the Roku remote, users can make a purchase directly from their TV screen.”
“We are constantly testing new channels as part of our marketing efforts to meet our customers where they are. Combining Roku’s scale and innovative shoppable ad units with Instacart’s first-party data and insights, we can now reach a massive TV streaming audience and offer them relevant and engaging ad experiences,” said Dan Kleinman, Chief Brand Officer, Deutsch Family Wines & Spirits.

Instacart has more than 1,500 retail partners on its platform and is available to over 98% of households in the U.S. and Canada.
