Capture is a full-service agency for FMCG brands that connects brands with people at the point of consideration and purchase. Using a unique combination of audience, location and performance data, Capture creates connected physical and digital commerce marketing campaigns from the 'store back', helping brands to convert brand equity to brand sales.

Plan-Apps works with FMCG brands to harness the power of commerce marketing by providing the technology, data, and consultancy to help brands deliver and demonstrate increasing returns on their commerce marketing investment. Central to this is SMG's proprietary software - Plan-Apps - which is powered by extensive cross-retail data, giving brands unparalleled insight into what works, and importantly, what doesn't.

Threefold partners with retailers to build valuable commerce media estates that create happier shoppers, better brand awareness, and brilliant business results.
