NEW YORK, May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As consumers jump instantaneously from channel to channel and device to device, retail marketers are tasked with understanding consumers' individual habits and creating consistent and relevant experiences for each of them. The need for personalization and proliferation of digital shopping channels has influenced marketers to shift media dollars to programmatic marketing, however many are still struggling to advance their marketing strategies.

Addressing this challenge, MediaMath and eTail, surveyed more than 115 retail marketers and developed a white paper to explore how programmatic marketing enables brands to influence consumer journeys across digital channels to drive business outcomes.

"The growth within the programmatic industry is a direct result of the need for real-time, hyper-targeted media buys, at scale," said Edwin Lee, Vice President of Retail, MediaMath. "As consumers turn to digital devices to make purchases, it's more vital than ever before for the retail industry to focus on the customer journey providing the right content to the right audience at the right time. I expect the adoption of programmatic within the retail industry to accelerate exponentially."

Through research findings, real-world experiences, and use cases, readers will learn the value of programmatic for real-time iteration of campaigns, data segmentation, and optimization of customer journeys. Additionally, the white paper shares insights into some of the most common goals supported by programmatic and the return that marketers have seen from their programmatic campaigns. 

A few key findings from the white paper include:

• Programmatic driving business outcomes. While improving brand awareness and media ROI were the top business goals retailers are supporting with programmatic, 85% of respondents said that programmatic helps them drive better overall business outcomes.
• Using programmatic across the complete path to purchase. Almost a third of retail brands are utilizing programmatic for the complete path to purchase, from customer acquisition to cross-sells and engagement opportunities for existing customers.
• Customer targeting. Retailers that have implemented programmatic across multiple media channels are 10% more likely to dynamically target using 1^st and 3^rd party data than those that are not.
