It’s a big month for Catalina as we mark a milestone anniversary: 40 years of influencing shopper behaviour and driving retail innovation across the globe. And, what a remarkable journey it’s been. For four decades we have been trusted to deliver highly targeted, personalised advertising and promotional messages to shoppers in-store. We created an innovative solution which has been unrivalled since!
But the fun doesn’t stop there, as my team and I here in the UK are also getting ready to attend the Internet Retailing Expo (IRX) in London on the 4th and 5th of October. Industry decision-makers will be out in force at this key event looking to improve their customer experiences. We’ll be delving deep into the current issues facing retailers and brands and providing insight and practical solutions to enhance their offerings, and we have an exciting panel line-up too.
As we proudly reflect on the journey our organisation has been on since 1983, I would love to take this opportunity to share our story of innovation, and how the brand set the stage for a retail revolution; from pioneering how retailers across the world engage with their shoppers, to developing unmatched data-driven innovation we remain at the forefront of influencing shopper behaviour.
A Legacy of Innovation Since 1983, trusted by retailers and brands alike

Our commitment to innovation has fuelled our consistent success and has made us a trusted partner for more than 120 retailers and over 8,000 brands. What sets us apart is our relentless pursuit to understand shopper behaviour andpersonalise shopper rewards.

The key to success in the retail industry lies in understanding the unique preferences and needs of individual shoppers and tailoring your marketing efforts accordingly.

40 Years of Unmatched Innovation
In the fast-paced world of retail, innovation is the key to growth. Catalina understands this, and for four decades, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible. One of our most recent and remarkable achievements is the development – ‘Shop & Play’. Committed to staying ahead of the curve, 'Shop & Play' is a prime example of how we have reshaped the retail landscape, specifically in eComm. By seamlessly integrating shopping and gamification, the solution seamlessly enhances the shopping experience, excites shoppers, drives full priced product sales, and builds stronger connections between brands and shoppers.

In addition to our expertise in personalised marketing, Catalina has also proven its knowledge in the world of retail media networks – a powerful advertising service that enables brands to connect with consumers at the point of purchase. Our ability to leverage data and insights to create meaningful connections between brands and shoppers has enabled us to establish a strong presence in this dynamic space. Through our retail media networks, we empower brands to reach their target audience with precision and impact, delivering unparalleled results.
