Southeastern Grocers, dunnhumby Enter Into New Tech Partnership to Help CPGs Target Shoppers

Southeastern Grocers (SEG) has tapped dunnhumby to power its media business that provides CPG with insights for optimal merchandising and marketing in its stores. The SEG Connects platform, launched by SEG in 2019 and now amplified, will be driven by dunnhumby’s customer data science to create more personalized solutions that enable brands reach the “right” customers at the right time, whether people are in store , at home or browsing on the go via their mobile devices.

SEG Connects has proved to be an important tool for the retailer, providing more than 200 million digital offers and suggestions to customers each week. Through the latest collaboration with dunnhumby — the companies  have previously worked together to elevate SEG’s omnichannel retail strategy — the grocer will help brand partners better target long-term advertising and media spending, thanks to the closed-loop measurement performance system.
