NBCUniversal and Instacart Expand Strategic Partnership To Open Up Audience-Based Advertising Opportunities for CPG Brands

 May 6, 2024 – NBCUniversal and Instacart are collaborating on a new retail media partnership to provide more opportunities for CPG advertisers to better reach strategic audiences on streaming.

With this new first-party data collaboration, advertisers will be able to reach in-market consumers through NBCUniversal’s iconic streaming content and measure the impact of their campaigns by leveraging ad exposure and purchase data.

The offering is expected to launch in Q2 on streaming, with plans to expand to linear.

This new retail media workstream builds on NBCUniversal and Instacart’s existing strategic partnership, in which Peacock was the leading grocery technology company’s first official streaming partner – marrying the convenience of grocery delivery with can’t-miss content moments.

Soon, NBCUniversal advertisers will be able to leverage Instacart’s first-party audience data to enhance their streaming campaigns and prove their campaigns’ efficacy with our closed-loop measurement. Consumers can see a CPG’s ad on streaming and get that product delivered to them via Instacart in as fast as an hour – it’s a win-win for both consumers and brands.”
