Retail Media & Brand Activation
Sell in real corridors and prove every sale.
Activate trusted local sellers to convert demand in retail and township corridors into completed, verified transactions, so brands pay against proven sales rather than unproven activity.
What it does
Built for one clear job.
Brand activity in informal and retail corridors is notoriously hard to prove. We use a network of trusted local sellers to move a named product where the demand is, and verify each transaction as it happens.
Because every sale and redemption is captured against the SKU, brands can fund activity on outcomes, verified sales, instead of impressions or unaudited sampling. Test-versus-control logic shows what the activity actually changed.
How it works
From signal to defensible decision.
Target the corridor
Pick the SKU and the corridor where demand and margin actually meet.
Activate local sellers
Trusted, trained local operators carry the product into the market.
Verify each sale
Every transaction and redemption is captured and proven against the SKU.
Attribute the outcome
Test-vs-control measurement shows the sales the activity truly caused.
Core capabilities
What you get.
Trusted local seller network
Legitimate, trained operators with real standing in their communities.
Verified sales & redemptions
Each transaction proven against a named SKU, not a nice-to-have report.
In-corridor activation
Move product where informal demand is densest and most winnable.
Test-vs-control measurement
Attribution logic that isolates what the activity actually changed.
Why timbuk2
In informal and retail corridors, brands fund sampling and activations and hope it worked. We flip it: trusted local sellers move your product where demand is, and every sale is verified as it happens, so you fund proven transactions, not impressions.
Who it's for
For brands, FMCG & retail media networks
Heads of trade marketing, activation and category marketing with a named SKU, a township revenue target and an existing activation budget, but no way to prove which activity caused a sale.
