What we do

Four disciplines. One cart.

01 · Strategy

Retail Media Strategy

Partnership negotiation, retailer and agency relationship-building, and business development — getting the right media into the right stores on the right terms.

02 · Growth

Onsite & Offsite Activation

Retailer and brand contracting, scaling product availability, sustained advertiser investment and media revenue growth.

03 · Data

Shopper & Category Data

Interactions, dwell time, purchase intent and sales lift where applicable — every activation reports back with numbers, not impressions alone.

04 · In-store

In-Store Screen & Shelf Media

Exclusive South African reseller and representative partner for Tokinomo, bringing in-store robotic shopper engagement technology to the local retail market.

How we work

A straight line from shelf to sales lift.

01

Audit

We look at the category, the store estate and the shopper opportunity to find the niche, on-shelf moments worth owning.

02

Strategy

We agree the retailers, brands and formats, then negotiate the partnerships and contracting that make the campaign possible.

03

Activation

We deploy interactive on-shelf and in-store media in the aisle, scaling product availability across the agreed store footprint.

04

Reporting

Interactions, dwell time, purchase intent and sales lift — reported back so you can see the incremental value of the campaign.
