Kroger, one of the most well-known retail and e-commerce giants, is pushing boundaries by shifting its advertising platform, Kroger Precision Marketing, from Microsoft-based to in-house management. The decision, bold yet carefully thought out, is a leap into a data-driven future for the retail advertising industry.
The initial move away from technological powerhouse like Microsoft might raise eyebrows, but delving into the reasons behind this shift uncovers Kroger’s evolving strategy. The existing system, while reliable, lacked the agility and fine-grained control of an in-house operation. Kroger aims to establish better command over its advertising to speed up decision-making processes, improve the retail experience, and offer insightful consumer data for advertisers.
Turning now to the particulars of Kroger’s new advertising platform, it unquestionably raises the bar. The in-house advertising system illuminates the previously obscure corners of advertising navigation, providing a razor-sharp, streamlined route towards precision marketing. Beyond simplifying and optimizing the ad creation process, it also enables marketers to leverage granular insights derived from real-time analytics.
The data-driven platform’s user-friendly interface facilitates easier navigation, which, coupled with real-time consumer data, allows for unparalleled speed and efficiency in decision-making. Digital marketers, in particular, will find this in-house advertising platform transformative. It seamlessly integrates information across multiple channels, providing a unified view of the customer journey. This feature allows for comprehensive analyses leading to robust strategies and, inevitably, a healthier return on investment (ROI).
Kroger’s commitment to the platform’s future enhancements is equally noteworthy. The company is keen on iterative developments based on feedback from users, undergirding its dedication to continuous improvement. By prioritizing open communication channels with its users, Kroger goes beyond merely providing a platform for advertisers. Instead, it enables a collaborative environment that supports refining and enhancing the platform, keeping it at the forefront of digital advertising.
Delving further into this innovative transition, we had a conversation with Dan Mayer, VP of Media Platform at Kroger Precision Marketing at 84.51˚. Mayer is one of the key figures behind the platform’s development and execution and offers invaluable insights into its future directions. According to Mayer, one of the key differentiators of the platform is “real-time connectivity to the point of sale data,” which empowers marketers to make more informed decisions. When asked about future plans, Mayer hinted at possible partnerships that would amplify reach and provide more comprehensive customer data insights.
Kroger’s move to an in-house system is more than merely a transition. It is a necessary evolution as the advertising sector becomes increasingly tech-driven. As digital marketing becomes more sophisticated, Kroger stands poised to ride the crest of this wave, leading into a new era of retail advertising.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
