The state of retail media

Retail media has experienced an influx of attention this past year as brands and agencies understand the power of this medium. By engaging retail customers with both endemic and non-endemic products, they can grow awareness, drive engagement and capture conversions. And retail media spans many different industries, from travel to financial services and more.

However, challenges still need to be addressed, such as a proliferation of retail media networks and achieving clarity around ROI.
