Vibenomics and Yahoo DSP Unite to Amplify Programmatic Retail Media

Partnership bridges digital and physical retail through programmatic audio ads

Vibenomics, a Mood Media Company, has partnered with Yahoo DSP to expand its programmatic retail media offerings in-store. This collaboration enables advertisers to use Yahoo’s demand-side platform (DSP) to programmatically purchase and manage in-store audio ad inventory across Vibenomics’ retail network, which includes over 25,000 locations across five key verticals: grocery, drug, sporting goods, home improvement and convenience.

This strategic move allows advertisers to leverage Yahoo’s DSP to bid for and purchase inventory, manage their buying and track their ads within Vibenomics’ network of in-store audio channels. This provides brands with more direct and efficient ways to reach shoppers at the point of purchase, aligning with Yahoo DSP’s recent expansion into grocery and home improvement programmatic offerings.

Our collaboration provides CPG advertisers with specialized retail media tools to effectively engage shoppers at the point of purchase across 25,000 retail locations nationwide.
