Partnership FAQs

What is the benefit of this collaboration to advertisers?

The collaboration creates national reach, alleviates fragmentation and brings consistency to buying in-store. Our diverse retailer network brings ubiquity to advertisers..

How does this benefit an agency representing the brands?

Brands demand transparency of buying and insights of the results. This collaboration aligns with the rapidly growing Retail Media investments through our extensive shopping audience spanning 25,000+ locations and 800 million monthly shopping visits to answer both of those demands.

This gives advertisers a broad reach across diverse retail segments, reaching over 800 million shopping visits monthly, in 25,000+ store locations and more than 10 exposures per month per shopper.

Mood Media Expands In-Store Solutions with Acquisition of Vibenomics, the Leading In-Store Ad Network Technology and Service Provider

Transaction provides greater scope and scale for advertisers and increased revenue opportunities for brands

AUSTIN, TX – March 21, 2023 –  Mood Media, the world’s premiere on-premise experiential technology and media company, has acquired Vibenomics, the leading in-store digital advertising solution provider. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Mood provides on-premise media software solutions to more than 500,000 business locations in more than 140 countries through a cloud-delivered content platform, including curated music, messaging, digital signage, content management, and scent marketing. Combining Mood Media’s breadth and scale as the leading in-store experience provider with Vibenomics’ differentiated technology position in on-premise media solutions enables deeper insights for advertisers, increased revenue opportunities for brands, and greater consumer engagement and analytics at the point of sale.

The announcement comes at a time when retail media networks are booming, with U.S. retail media spend increasing from $31B in 2021 to a projected ad spend of $61B in 2024. This spend represents 17.2% of total U.S. digital ad spending — indicating the important role of retail media in the next generation of on-premise advertising and consumer engagement.

Malcolm McRoberts, CEO of Mood Media, said “Mood Media is committed to delivering the next generation of in-store technology solutions. Vibenomics extends these efforts by strengthening our ability to deliver highly effective programmatic advertising that enhances consumer engagement, provides critical analytical insights, and helps our customers and partners super charge their business results. Put simply, our goal is to be the leading, end-to-end cloud-enabled provider of fully-integrated on-premise media experiences and the combination with Vibenomics and their outstanding management team allows us to accelerate that journey.”

With Mood Media’s advanced on-premise digital solutions for display and audio, this new-to-market turnkey solution creates a simplified ad-buying experience for advertisers while enhancing the management of the customer experience and the associated return-on-investment for retail owners. It’s a single point of integration for retail media platforms to access, deliver, measure and evaluate on-premise digital impressions. Retailers will be equipped to maximize and measure the impact of on-premise digital messaging via multi-touch models and omnichannel strategies, as anticipated to be outlined in the 2023 IAB’s retail media categories, definitions and buyers guide.

“As champions of innovation, we believe that retail media networks represent the future of on-premise digital experiences for brands, retailers, and consumers, and they are an important component of any marketer’s digital ad campaign,” said Brent Oakley, CEO at Vibenomics. “Joining forces with Mood is an important step toward innovating retail media. It allows Vibenomics to massively expand our reach and that of our advertising partners and media networks, while delivering a greater level of sophistication to the retail marketplace.”

Vibenomics Announces $12.3M Series B Funding With Plans To Expand Its Network and Advertising Reach

Funds will support programmatic audio advertising expansion, tripling locations in next 18 months

Fueled by rising momentum in programmatic technology, national premier retail audio advertising provider Vibenomics has raised $12.3 million in Series B funding to support the launch of additional national networks in grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores. The round is led by Panoramic Ventures, one of the largest and most active tech venture funds in the Southeast.

Vibenomics established itself as a formidable player in the Audio-Out-of-Home (AOOH) market after partnering with Kroger in May 2020. Last year, the company experienced its most significant growth, launching its first proprietary media player to deliver music, messaging and programmatic advertisements to each of its network partners’ individual locations. By mid-2021, Vibenomics introduced multiple Demand Side Platforms (DSPs) to become the first — and only — programmatic digital AOOH solution for advertisers.

“This funding validates our investors’ belief in the future of Vibenomics and what we’re building,” said Brent Oakley, CEO of Vibenomics. “AOOH’s value, impact and ability to scale allows retailers to provide a positive, in-store customer experience. We’re anticipating another record-breaking year in 2022 and these funds will enable us to continue innovating and accelerating product developments, building on our momentum.”

Vibenomics continues to expand its national footprint in programmatic retail advertising. Earlier this year, the company partnered with Hy-Vee, adding an additional 400 locations across the Midwest. In the coming months, Vibenomics has a line of sight to expand to over 20,000 locations by the end of 2023.

“Vibenomics directs the majority of its efforts toward consumer packaged goods (CPGs), a massive and highly competitive advertising sector eager to invest in innovative marketing strategies, particularly within retail locations,” said Paul Iaffaldano, general partner for Panoramic Ventures. “We believe that Vibenomics’s innovative approach to in-store audio advertisements in that industry gives us significant leverage to capitalize on a growing market.”

Vibenomics has nearly 40 employees, about 90% of whom live in the Indianapolis area and 10% work remotely. The company expects to increase its workforce by 25%, specifically in its sales and marketing departments, by the end of 2022.
