Grocery CPG Digital Media Sales

About AppCard AppCard is a retail media and shopper-data company headquartered in Manhattan, NY. Our patented technology plugs into the point-of-sale systems of independent and regional grocers, capturing shopper identity and item-level purchase data in real time, both in store and online. That gives CPG brands something the big retail media networks can't: a direct line to real, verified shoppers.. AppCard brings it together into one network that brands can target, activate and measure. What brands get: • Real shoppers, not modeled audiences. Target people by what they actually bought: category buyers, lapsed buyers, competitive buyers, down to the SKU. • Omnichannel activation. Run one campaign across offers at the register, digital coupons, SMS, email and offsite media, all tied to the same shopper ID. • Closed-loop attribution. Each campaign ties back to item-level sales, so brands see incremental lift, new-to-brand buyers and repeat purchases, not just clicks. • Real-time analytics. Results and shopper insights arrive while the campaign is still running, so spend can be shifted mid-flight. Everyone wins. Shoppers get offers that match what they buy. Retailers grow basket size and trip frequency. Brands win incremental buyers the national networks never reach. The Opportunity This is a pure sales role. Your job is to generate revenue.
