Roku has introduced Roku Curate, a new platform giving advertisers access to first-party consumer data from partners like Best Buy, Fandango, and Instacart.

Facts First
- Roku Curate provides first-party data to track consumer actions after ad exposure.
- Data partners include Best Buy Ads, Fandango, Criteo, Fetch, Kroger Precision Marketing, and Instacart.

What Happened
Roku unveiled Roku Curate on Monday, a new offering designed to provide advertisers access to various types of first-party data to track consumer 'outcomes'. The data infrastructure includes purchase and browsing data from electronics shoppers via Best Buy Ads, measurement tied to Fandango, shopping and browsing data from Criteo, retail purchase data from Fetch, purchase information from Kroger Precision Marketing, and consumer-shopping data from Instacart.
Why this Matters to You
You may see more targeted and relevant advertisements on your Roku streaming device, as advertisers could use this data to better understand which ads lead to purchases or other actions. The use of first-party data from retailers like Best Buy and Kroger might mean ads you see are more closely aligned with your recent shopping interests. This development could lead to a shift in how advertising effectiveness is measured on streaming platforms.
What's Next
Advertisers are likely to begin integrating Roku Curate's data into their campaign planning and measurement strategies. The partnership between Roku and its data providers may expand to include additional retail or service categories. The platform's success could influence how other streaming services structure their own advertising data offerings.
