What you can automate today

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

Auto-sync high-value purchase segments from panel data into DSP audiences

When Circana panel data identifies new high-frequency buyer segments or category switchers, Redbird automatically creates or updates corresponding audience segments in The Trade Desk for immediate activation. Your media team targets the right shoppers without waiting for data exports and manual audience builds.

Trigger campaign budget adjustments when retail sales velocity changes

Monitor Circana point-of-sale data for significant velocity shifts in tracked categories or SKUs. When sales trends cross defined thresholds, Redbird automatically adjusts campaign budgets or bid strategies in The Trade Desk to align media spend with retail performance. Keep programmatic investment synchronized with actual market momentum.

Enrich campaign performance data with retail sales lift and market share context

Pull impression, click, and conversion data from The Trade Desk campaigns and automatically join it with corresponding Circana retail sales, market share, and category growth metrics. Redbird delivers unified reports showing how programmatic activity correlates with in-store and online retail outcomes, no manual data merging required.

Alert media teams when competitive share shifts in key markets or retailers

Track Circana competitive share data across defined geographies, retailers, or channels. When a competitor gains significant share or your brand loses positioning, Redbird sends alerts to your media team and can automatically activate suppression or conquest campaigns in The Trade Desk to respond immediately.

Build lookalike audiences from top-performing retail purchase cohorts

Identify your highest-value customer cohorts using Circana household panel purchase frequency, basket size, and category penetration data. Redbird automatically creates lookalike audience segments in The Trade Desk based on these behavioral profiles, enabling programmatic reach expansion grounded in actual buying behavior.

Generate weekly closed-loop reports linking ad exposure to retail sales outcomes

Combine The Trade Desk campaign delivery metrics with Circana retail sales data at the product, market, and retailer level. Redbird produces automated weekly reports showing reach, frequency, spend efficiency, and corresponding retail lift, making it easy to prove programmatic ROI and optimize ongoing campaigns.
