Swiftly Partners with Vistar Media to Augment its Omnichannel Reach with Digital Out Of Home

New collaboration integrates Vistar’s programmatic DOOH with Swiftly’s retail media platform, enabling retailers and brands to target and influence shoppers across digital and physical environments and measure real-world sales

SEATTLE – May 5, 2026 – Swiftly, a leading retail technology platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Vistar Media, the programmatic leader in digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising. The collaboration expands Swiftly’s omnichannel capabilities, offering retailers and CPG brands a powerful new way to reach shoppers across digital, mobile, and physical environments while measuring how advertising influences real-world purchases.

As retail media continues to grow, brands are looking for ways to connect with shoppers closer to the point of sale and prove that their campaigns drive actual revenue. By combining Swiftly’s digital media platform with Vistar’s programmatic DOOH network, the partnership allows advertisers to run coordinated campaigns across digital and physical touchpoints, helping brands stay connected with shoppers throughout the path to purchase.

Vistar Media operates the largest independent DOOH marketplace in the U.S., with access to more than 1.1 million screens including digital billboards at transit stations, airports, shopping mall screens, and major in-store media aggregators in the grocery and convenience retail locations. Through the integration, campaigns activated through Swiftly’s retail media platform and Audience Optimizer™ can extend to these screens using the same audience targeting and campaign controls used for digital retail media, allowing brands to reach high-intent shoppers across multiple environments from a single campaign.

Following each campaign, Swiftly measures performance using retailer-provided transaction data to show how media exposure influences in-store purchases. This closed-loop measurement gives brands and retailers a clearer view of return on ad spend and helps validate the effectiveness of omnichannel retail media campaigns.

“Retailers and CPGs want retail media to deliver more than impressions. They want proof that campaigns drive sales,” said Rob Foley, SVP of Partnerships at Swiftly. “By integrating Vistar’s DOOH network with Swiftly’s retail media platform, we can help advertisers reach shoppers at key moments along the path to purchase and connect those impressions directly to store transactions. This gives both retailers and brands greater confidence in where they invest their media dollars.”

The integration also gives retailers the ability to expand their retail media offerings without adding new systems or complexity. Campaigns can be targeted to specific stores, regions, or shopper audiences, allowing brands to reach consumers during the critical decision-making stage while creating new revenue opportunities for retailers through additional media inventory.

“At Vistar, our mission is to help brands and retailers harness the power of out-of-home in smarter, data-driven ways,” said Dave Rivera, VP, Channel Partnerships, Vistar Media. “By partnering with Swiftly, we’re bringing the scale and precision of DOOH directly into the retail media ecosystem, empowering CPG marketers to extend the impact of their campaigns all the way to the shelf.

The new capability is live and available today. Retailers and brands can immediately begin incorporating DOOH into Swiftly-powered retail media campaigns, adding a high-impact channel that complements digital circulars, loyalty promotions, and in-app advertising. By extending retail media beyond owned digital properties and into the physical world, Swiftly continues to help retailers compete with larger chains while giving brands more effective ways to reach shoppers and drive measurable growth.
