CATALINA "UNLIMITED" REIMAGINES SHOPPER MARKETING BEYOND GROCERY

New solution empowers brands and retailers to reach high-value shoppers wherever they buy — and prove incremental ROAS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Catalina, a leader in shopper intelligence and personalized media, today announced the launch of Catalina UNLIMITED, a game-changing solution that expands the reach and measurable impact of shopper marketing across many retail channels.

"Shopper loyalty is no longer tied to one retailer. Consumers are driven by value, convenience, and relevance — and brands need to meet them wherever they are," said Adam Van Beck, Chief Revenue Officer at Catalina. "Catalina UNLIMITED gives brands and agencies a channel-agnostic way to deliver content online, in-store, and across connected media — and prove the true incremental impact of every dollar spent."

Catalina UNLIMITED empowers marketers to identify, engage, and convert ideal buyers while quantifying Incremental Return on Ad Spend (iROAS) with precision. The solution enables reach across digital, mobile, and connected experiences, with real-time optimization and closed-loop measurement.

Target, Measure, and Optimize Across Channels
As shopping behaviors fragment — from grocery to non-grocery, club, mass, convenience, and specialty retailers — Catalina UNLIMITED provides a unified, data-driven approach to audience targeting and measurement. It leverages sophisticated data and AI-driven insights to help marketers:

• Gain a holistic view of shopper behavior: See how consumers interact with media and make purchases across all retail channels.
• Coordinate campaigns across all touchpoints: Deliver seamless, consistent content across online, in-store, and mobile media.
• Prove incremental impact through unified reporting: Eliminate fragmented dashboards with consolidated, closed-loop measurement that proves true incremental sales impact and purchase intent.

Catalina UNLIMITED In Action
Unlike impression-based platforms, Catalina UNLIMITED links media exposure directly to verified sales outcomes, helping brands turn shopper marketing into a scalable growth engine.

Boosting Club Shopper Sales 
A leading protein shake brand partnered with Catalina to increase sales at a major club retailer. Using a 23 million-household receipt panel, the campaign compared purchase behavior and demographics of exposed households against a matched control group.

Results:

• Sales Lift: +7% vs. +5% category norm
• Purchase Occasions: +3% vs. +1% category norm
• iROAS: $3.26 | Incremental Sales: +$326K
• Attributed Sales: $4.9M

Results:

• Ad Recall: +84%
• Brand Lift: +12.3%
• Purchase Intent: +11.3%
