The retail media consortium for regional grocery and convenience stores

How it started
The year was 2022—everyone was talking about cookie deprecation and the rise of retail media networks, and you couldn’t open LinkedIn or read an article online without coming across it. Anyone with an audience was trying to figure out how to bring more relevant advertising to their customer base.
Over in Los Angeles, the Bridg team was doing what it does best–converting our customers’ transactional and loyalty data into 2-3x larger reachable audiences than they previously could identify.
With Bridg’s mission to drive indisputable revenue, our team, along with retailers and consumer brands, began exploring questions like, “What if we could leverage this first-party data in other ecosystems?” and “Who would use and benefit from it?”

How it’s going
In August 2023, Rippl was announced. The first retail media consortium for regional grocery and convenience stores starting with inaugural partners Schnucks and National Retail Solutions [NRS].
In early 2024, Wegmans, PDI Technologies, and Giant Eagle joined the mix pushing Rippl to over 70M shopper profiles.
In Summer 2024, Rippl’s audiences became available on syndicated marketplaces such as LiveRamp, The Trade Desk, and Yahoo!.
In Fall 2024 we welcomed Lowes Foods, GoPuff, BevMo, Associated Food Stores, and KwikTrip to the network.
In December 2024 Rippl surpassed 100M unique shopper profiles, making us the ONLY retail media consortium for regional grocery and convenience stores to reach scale.
And as of March 2025, we've reached over 130M profiles, welcoming new partners like Coburns and Brookshires while adding extended purchaser audiences, giving advertisers access to segments that truly reflect their target demographics!
