Circana Category Share in Business Reports

At DoorDash, we are investing in advancing our reporting capabilities so that advertisers are able to measure true business outcomes and maximize ROI from their DoorDash campaigns. 

We are excited to introduce Circana Category Share reporting for eligible advertisers in the US. This advanced reporting capability enables advertisers to go from seeing performance at a broad supercategory level like Frozen or Beverages, to now drilling to a category level such as Powders, Shakes, or Pet Treats - giving them a more precise view of how their ads investment is helping them win, where it’s growing and where opportunities lie.

We know that beyond campaign level performance metrics, brands want to understand their competitive position and track business metrics such as Category Share using industry standards, and our launch with Circana is an investment in continuing to build in this area.
