What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Build custom audiences from high-performing retail SKUs and categories

When Circana shows acceleration in a product category or strong velocity for specific SKUs, automatically create and populate lookalike audiences in Meta Ads targeting similar consumer demographics. Update audience segments as retail performance shifts week-over-week.

Pause or scale Meta campaigns based on retail stock and sales velocity

Monitor Circana point-of-sale data for out-of-stock alerts or declining velocity at key retailers. Automatically adjust Meta campaign budgets or pause ads for products with low availability to prevent wasted spend on unavailable inventory.

Enrich Meta conversion data with Circana retail attribution and incrementality

Pull Meta Ads campaign performance and match it with Circana retail sales lift and market share changes. Calculate true incrementality by comparing digital spend to actual point-of-sale outcomes across retail partners.

Alert teams when Meta spend diverges from retail category trends

When Circana shows category growth or competitive shifts but Meta campaign pacing is flat or declining, trigger alerts to media and brand teams. Include specific category performance benchmarks and recommended budget adjustments.

Auto-generate weekly performance reports combining social and retail metrics

Compile Circana sales velocity, market share, and promotional data alongside Meta Ads ROAS, impressions, and conversion metrics into unified reports. Distribute to stakeholders with week-over-week trends and category insights.

Sync Meta purchase conversion events back to Circana panel data workflows

Send Meta pixel conversion events and purchase data to Circana for cross-validation against panel purchase behavior. Identify gaps between digital conversions and actual retail transactions to refine attribution models.

Live in four steps

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands Circana's retail hierarchy — brands, categories, SKUs, markets, and time-aggregated sales — and how to map that structure into Meta's audience targeting, campaign objectives, and conversion schemas.

AI that reads retail performance data and social ad structures

Redbird maps Circana product hierarchies, UPCs, market definitions, and panel segments directly to Meta's custom audiences, catalog feeds, and campaign structures. The platform understands time-series sales data, promotional flags, and competitive benchmarks from Circana, then translates them into Meta audience rules, budget pacing logic, and conversion event parameters. No need to flatten hierarchies or manually map SKU taxonomies — Redbird handles dimensional mismatches between retail reporting and social advertising automatically.
