NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a leading consumer intelligence company, today announced the launch of Digital Purchase GeoAudiences across five European markets. The new solution extends NIQ’s geographic audience capabilities into digital-first categories including travel, automotive, technology, telecommunications and financial services.
The launch expands NIQ’s GeoPurchase offering, which currently provides syndicated audiences across 13 international markets. Digital Purchase GeoAudiences address growing demand from advertisers for purchase-informed audience intelligence across a broader range of digital-first industries and shopping environments.
By combining NIQ’s digital commerce intelligence with its GeoPurchase framework, the solution helps advertisers identify geographic areas showing stronger digital shopping activity. Marketers can use these signals to inform where they plan and prioritize media investment.
“Marketers shouldn’t have to guess where demand is coming from before they invest,” said Maureen Stapleton, Global Commercial Lead of NIQ’s Media division. “People now discover and buy products across more digital channels than ever. By combining aggregated real digital shopping behaviour with geographic insights, we give advertisers a clearer picture of where demand is strongest and where it is growing. Building on the success of our GeoPurchase Audiences, we can now bring NIQ’s purchase intelligence to more industries across Europe.”
At launch, Digital Purchase GeoAudiences will be available in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. The offering will include retailer-, category- and brand-level audiences, with segment availability varying by market and data feasibility.
Initial sectors include travel, automotive, technology, telecommunications, retail, entertainment, financial services, and quick-service restaurants. Digital Purchase GeoAudiences will also capture purchases made from direct-to-consumer services, subscription services, and online marketplaces.
Segments will initially be distributed through The Trade Desk. NIQ will expand distribution through additional programmatic platforms in the near future.
