As brands activate across social, commerce, and premium CTV, understanding what actually drives incremental growth has become increasingly complex. By combining INCRMNTAL's real-time incrementality insights with Smartly's platform that enables advertisers to turn insights into action across channels, marketers can continuously direct investment to what drives business outcomes. The integration will translate incrementality signals into real-time planning and optimization within Smartly, helping brands and agencies allocate budgets with greater confidence. "Marketing leaders today are demanding better measurement for performance and accountability," said Laura Desmond, CEO of Smartly. "Incrementality is becoming increasingly important in a world where traditional approaches are challenged to move at the speed of AI and the changing consumer journey. With INCRMNTAL, Smartly enables marketers to connect what's happening in their business outcomes in real time with how they optimize media, creative, and campaigns, so they can see performance as it happens and take immediate action." INCRMNTAL's AI-powered always-on methodology analyzes natural fluctuations in campaign activity instead of forcing marketers to exclude audiences, pause campaigns, or run formal experiments.
