DENVER, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ibotta (NYSE: IBTA), the leading technology company providing digital promotions and performance marketing solutions for CPG brands, and Instacart (Nasdaq: CART), the leading grocery technology company in North America, today announced a strategic partnership to provide Instacart customers with access to Ibotta’s industry-leading catalog of digital coupons. By joining the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN), Instacart will deliver more coupons that are timely and relevant to its consumers, helping consumers save money on their everyday purchases.
Going forward, Ibotta will be Instacart's preferred third-party coupon provider across all eligible categories of items on its mobile app and website. For CPG brands, this new partnership creates an enhanced opportunity to reach consumers across Instacart’s marketplace of more than 1,500 retail banners with a footprint of more than 85,000 stores across North America. In addition, CPG brands can continue to leverage Instacart’s high-performing retail media network to drive product discovery and incremental sales by connecting to consumers who are directly at the point of purchase.
“We are excited to enter into this strategic partnership with Instacart, which represents the first grocery technology company to join the Ibotta Performance Network,” said Bryan Leach, founder and CEO of Ibotta. “The addition of Instacart will allow our 2,400 CPG brand partners to reach millions of additional consumers with targeted promotions on Instacart’s app and website, all while benefiting from our network’s unprecedented real-time measurement capabilities.”

We work with more than 6,000 CPG brands and we believe Ibotta will help us quickly scale our CPG-funded promotions business.”
