What Tinuiti does

Tinuiti is a privately-held, full-funnel performance marketing agency headquartered in New York, founded in 2004 and self-described as the largest US independent performance marketing company in the United States. The firm sells integrated digital marketing services spanning commerce (Amazon, retail media, commerce operations), TV/audio/display (streaming, linear TV, online video, audio, display/OOH), search (paid search, AI SEO, shoppable media), social (Meta, TikTok), and adjacent offerings (affiliate, creative, CRO, email/SMS, influencer), alongside a dedicated SMB offering called Foundation. Its go-to-market combines dedicated enterprise account teams, an inside-sales motion for mid-market, and platform partner channels; revenue is generated through agency fees and media commissions on managed advertising spend across multi-year contracts, with pricing not publicly disclosed.\n\nThe core technology platform is Bliss Point, a proprietary marketing operating system built on causal inference and machine learning that connects audience, creative, media, and measurement capabilities. It is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture, with audience tooling (Customer Insights), creative tooling (AdCopy AI, co-developed with Google and demonstrating at least 15% performance lift in beta), media tooling, and measurement tooling (Incrementality Lab, Brand Equity, Media Mix Modeling including Rapid MMM and GeoMMM, Holistic ROAS, and the YouTube Intelligence Suite, which reports 47% average incremental conversion impact for brands). The platform is supplemented by the Web Traffic Optimizer for CRO A/B testing.\n\nTinuiti operates an unusually broad ecosystem of platform partnerships that functions as a structural advantage: it holds Google Premier Partner status (top 3% of agencies), Amazon Ads Advanced Partner (top 7%, charter member, first agency partner with Amazon Marketing Cloud access), Meta Business Partner (top 5%), Microsoft Elite Partner, TikTok Marketing Partner (one of only two with Agency badge), Walmart Premium+ Partner (inaugural, highest tier), Netflix inaugural ad-tier launch partner, Disney Verified Measurement Partner, Snap Advanced Partner, and Reddit Global Ads Partner, plus retail media partnerships with Target, Instacart, Kroger, Ulta, CVS, Macy's, Best Buy, Home Depot, and 50+ additional retailers. The company has executed three acquisitions since 2021 (Ortega Group, Bliss Point Media and its subsidiary Prospect Point Media in July 2021, and Ampush in January 2023) to add OTT/CTV, digital audio, and paid social capabilities. Notable enterprise and mid-market clients include Carter's, e.l.f. Beauty, DSW, Sony, Beyond Meat, Honest Company, Seventh Generation, Unilever, Bombas, TOMS, Zipcar, Poppi, illy, Olly, Away, The Shade Store, Blue Apron, Liquid I.V., and Serta Simmons Bedding.
