AN ANALYST’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE EVOLUTION OF RETAIL MEDIA

Retail media is evolving in very dynamic ways. We are seeing the evolution of new products like shoppable video, higher adoption of programmatic buying models, shifts in decision-making and budget ownership on the brand side, and, more broadly, the proliferation of commerce media networks in emerging industries like travel, hospitality, dining, and financial services.This session will explore the latest trends in retail and commerce media, and how to leverage emerging trends as either an operator or buyer of a media network.

NAVIGATING RETAIL MEDIA MEASUREMENT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY AND GROWTH

The data science that sits with retailers today can be a powerful predictive engine to grow business, including new households for brands. But retail metrics are more complex than metrics for traditional media. To identify the causal impact of advertising on sales, marketers need to interrogate the methodologies used by retail media networks. Discover how brands are applying best practices in measurement to drive clarity and results as well as steps the industry is taking to improve retail media measurement.

THE FUTURE OF BRANDS & MEDIA IS ANCHORED IN RETAIL

The future of brand building and media is anchored in retail. As retailers continue to invest in their ecosystems to expand their offerings, consumers follow suit by increasingly adopting retail channels as their primary avenue for discovery through to conversion. Retail.com becomes both the new search engine and the new brand.com. For marketers this implores a dynamic shift in how and where brands show up, placing new emphasis on the total experience delivered, and the role creativity plays in winning the new consumer/retail reality.

THE RISE OF COMMERCE MEDIA

While the number of retail media networks continues to increase (reported to be as many as 200), “commerce media” is also on the rise. Commerce media broadens the scope of retail media. Companies with first-party, purchase-based data who are not retailers can engage and monetize their audiences to help advertisers target consumers effectively. This session will discuss the opportunities with commerce media and share case studies.
