In today’s rapidly evolving commerce media landscape, data, creativity, and performance must come together to drive measurable outcomes. That’s why we’re excited to share that Perion has joined the Walmart Connect Partner Network, a move that marks a major step forward in our journey to become the CMO’s performance platform.

Unlocking Smarter Retail Media Opportunities

Joining the Walmart Connect Partner Network gives brands working with Perion access to Walmart Connect’s powerful omnichannel media solutions and closed-loop measurement, enhancing the Perion One platform. Walmart Connect’s first-party audience and sales insights combined with Perion’s AI-powered Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) technologies, can help advertisers better personalize campaigns, explore opportunities for incremental sales lift, and can improve ROAS potential.

 

As Tal Jacobson, CEO of Perion, put it:

“Joining the Walmart Connect Partner Network is a significant step in advancing our vision to become the CMO’s performance platform. It enhances our retail and commerce media offering and amplifies the impact of our technologies across a leading retail ecosystem with scale and reach.”

A Natural Fit Within Perion One

By integrating Walmart Connect’s customers with Perion’s cross-channel intelligence and performance automation, brands can gain new opportunities to improve efficiency, engagement, and results.

Partnering with Walmart Connect also opens the door for bundled commerce offerings and deeper cross-sell opportunities, giving brands a full-funnel approach to advertising, from awareness to conversion, all under one connected ecosystem.

Driving Results Through Closed-Loop Measurement

For advertisers, the benefits are clear:

  • Access to Walmart Connect’s omnichannel audience reach, both online and in-store
  • Closed-loop measurement connecting media exposure to actual sales
  • Expanded omnichannel reach through Perion’s data and creative intelligence
  • Personalization powered by Perion’s AI-driven orchestration

Together, these capabilities can help brands reach audiences more effectively and deliver measurable, outcome-focused campaigns all while maintaining efficiency and scalability.

Retail media is one of the fastest-growing areas in advertising, with U.S. ad spend expected to surpass $85 billion by 2026, according to eMarketer. Joining the Walmart Connect Partner Network positions Perion at the heart of that growth, enabling brands to engage shoppers with creativity, data, and intelligence across every channel.
