InMarket and Basis Technologies have decided to heighten their collaboration to provide advertisers with the tools to measure retail media more accurately, target audiences more effectively, and track the performance of advertising campaigns in the digital space.
With the U.S. retail media advertising market expected to hit $70 billion by 2026, brands and agencies are under increased pressure to show how their advertising efforts result in business gains. The partnership intends to tackle this issue by bringing together InMarket’s measurement and audience expertise within Basis’ advertising platform.
Thanks to the more comprehensive deal, Basis users get instant access to InMarket’s measurement tools that are focused on results and to specific Retail Media Network (RMN) audiences, giving advertisers the opportunity to tie media exposure to actual store visits, purchase behavior, and sales uplift.
Rather than simply an audience integration, this partnership offers a complete advertising solution that is able to measure performance across different retailers and RMNs. Also, the new functionalities also make it possible to measure sales lift in industries like dining, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and automotive.

Under the updated partnership, advertisers using Basis can now access:
- Incremental visit and sales lift measurement across retailers and retail media networks
- Specialized RMN audience segments built from visitation and commerce data
- Audience targeting for conquesting campaigns across retail media ecosystems
- Lift-optimized audiences focused on known visitors, purchasers, and lookalike consumers
The companies stated that the integration is intended to help brands improve campaign efficiency while delivering clearer visibility into advertising outcomes and return on investment.
“Integrating InMarket‘s unique audiences and outcomes-focused measurement capabilities builds on Basis’ commitment to deliver market-leading activation and performance through the industry’s most-connected platform,” said Tim Smith, EVP of corporate development, Basis. “These capabilities give agencies and brands real-time intelligence that’s essential for measurable business results.”
Such cooperation is an opportunity for advertisers to reach audience segments that might not be available to them if for example, they relied only on retail media networks. These are the kinds of people that buy offline only and pay in cash.
“Our focus is leveraging real-time technology and intelligence to help marketers target the right people, optimize those interactions inflight and ultimately connect every dollar spent to a verifiable business outcome,” said Michael Della Penna, Chief Strategy Officer at InMarket. “Our expanded partnership with Basis brings these performance-driven solutions natively into its platform, enabling advertisers to grow both the effectiveness and efficiency of their spend. This is a force multiplier — delivering smarter, faster, better outcomes for everyone involved.”
By extending this collaboration, the two companies demonstrate the growing need for retail media advertising solutions that measure results and are outcome-driven since it is a trend for brands to desire more accountability and transparency in their performance across digital marketing channels.
