AdAdapted, a leading shopping list marketing and insights platform built for CPG brands, agencies and retailers has announced the launch of AdAdapted Direct, an on-demand, self-managed advertising solution built to make consumer marketing easy and accessible to any size business.

AdAdapted Direct provides a solution to develop impactful creative, select ad types, choose targeting and track performance — all of which is set up and launched in minutes. Marketers can track their campaign performance daily via the intuitive dashboard. AdAdapted Direct is the only on-demand tool that helps businesses target verified shoppers and get their branded products on shopping lists during pre-planning and referenced at the shelf in-store.

Targeting consumers at this stage of the shopping journey is especially important, since more than half of all shoppers use a shopping list to plan their visit, shop and create an online cart for in-store pick-up.

AdAdapted Direct enables brands and retailers to reach verified shoppers to drive purchase intent and build awareness. It does this by serving targeted mobile ads to AdAdapted's exclusive network of millions of shopping list app users, while they are actively building their grocery lists. The ads include a frictionless button that adds branded products to their list via AdAdapted’s patented Add-It (TM) technology. The solution is designed to get branded products onto shopping lists, referenced in store, and into consumers’ shopping carts without interrupting the user experience.

With AdAdapted Direct, brand marketers can now also:

• Control their marketing strategy. AdAdapted Direct puts a valuable shopper audience and high impact marketing capabilities in the hands of marketers, allowing them to control their spend and curate audience targets.
• Compete with established brands. AdAdapted Direct enables marketers to reach their ideal shopper and get their product on digital shopping lists or into carts before they have a chance to choose a competitive brand.
• Access exclusive audiences and inventory. In addition to the exclusive network of over 100M shopping list app users, marketers gain exclusive access to first-party pre-shop targeting from shopping list apps, so they can get the biggest return on their advertising investment.
• Get megabrand access at an emerging brand price. AdAdapted Direct provides the ability to develop highly-targeted, high-value and impactful advertising at low campaign minimum spends.

AdAdapted Direct’s user-friendly interface gives CPG brands, retailers and their agencies the ability to instantly benefit from:

• Easy sign-up and campaign activation.
• Choice of ad creative templates provided in the dashboard, with an option to use their own branding and product assets.
• Ability to run always-on ads, and boost performance on the fly.
