Inmar Intelligence Launches Commerce Fitscore™

Inmar

Inmar Intelligence, a leading data and technology company, announced the launch of Commerce Fitscore™, the first solution of its kind that removes the subjectivity in creator selection and aligns creator selection with actual purchase behavior. Powered by Inmar’s first-party transactional data, Commerce Fitscore™ enables brands and retailers to select creators based on their audiences’ likelihood to drive sales performance.

Brands, agencies, and retailers understand that influencer marketing is an effective strategy for driving sales. In fact, Inmar Intelligence’s recent shopper survey found that 70% of shoppers have purchased products recommended by creators. However, finding relevant creators and quantifying their impact has been notoriously challenging and time consuming for brands and retailers – made only more difficult with the rapidly growing retail media environment. Commerce Fitscore™ combines the power of creators and data to offer brands and retailers the ultimate precision in selecting creators based on their audience’s actual purchase behavior—whether online or in-store.

As the role of creators in media strategies increase and the retail media market accelerates, set to surpass $100 billion in the next few years, incorporating creators into Retail Media Networks is critical to allow retailers to diversify their offerings and align their strategy with both consumer needs and the needs of their advertisers. With the use of Commerce Fitscore™ as a part of a Retail Media Network, creators can drive results for brands and retailers and can solve the challenge of finding and vetting brand appropriate creators, and understanding their impact on sales. This alignment with retail media strategies ensures creators are chosen for their potential to deliver sales.

With pilot campaigns launching in Q4, Commerce Fitscore™ is another facet of creator matching that adds a fourth dimension for casting the ultimate creator fit being fueled by unique data matching by Inmar.  As one of the first creator marketing companies in the market, Inmar through its acquisition of Collective Bias in 2016, has spent the last 7 years creating the mapping and infrastructure to connect engagement behavioral data, audience insights, and billions of purchase transactions. There is no other company offering creator match scoring with audience-matched purchase data across both ecommerce and in-store transactions.

“We are introducing Commerce Fitscore not just as a new feature, but as a long-term investment in the future of data-driven influencer marketing”, said Ranjana Chouldhry, Head of Media at Inmar. “This is the solution to the problem in the marketplace plaguing brands who want the top funnel power of creators, but also expect bottom funnel results.”

The development of Commerce Fitscore™ was heavily influenced by real-time feedback from Inmar’s media clients through its Aki Technologies acquisition. For example, the Omnichannel Marketing team at KIND served as an advisor to the product’s development. This collaboration resulted in a tool that aligns with real-world challenges, such as integrating creator marketing into broader retail and direct-to-consumer strategies. Their insights have made Commerce Fitscore™ a critical innovation, directly addressing the evolving demands of creator marketing.

“Understanding the full potential impact of an influencer’s content and personality on brand metrics, including sales, is crucial when evaluating influencers for media campaigns”, said Ian Clark, Media Director at Exverus Media. “Commerce Fitscore™ is an additional layer of performance data that makes for more strategic decision-making in our planning process.”

This announcement follows six recent industry awards for excellence in social media, which notably includes the Cynopsis Social Media Groundbreaker Award and Muse Creative Awards’ Best Social Ad Campaign with PepsiCo and Best Social Media Campaign with Mars Wrigley.
