The Winooski, Vt.-based MyWebGrocer provides digital solutions in the grocery industry. The Brand Activation Suite is a new platform for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands and advertisers that connects consumers with local grocery products. The Lightbox solution within the suite leverages data on products, sale information and user location to deliver relevant, co-branded ads that feature promoted items alongside information about the nearby store where those items can be purchased. These display ads run across the Web and are targeted to specific contexts, users and geographies. Shoppers arrive at the retailers' sites at specific landing pages that correspond with the ads. Brands can promote weekly sale items through this platform and drive traffic directly to a sale. Campbell's, Kellogg's and McCormick & Co Inc. are some of the first brands to use MWG's Brand Activation Suite.
