Retail Media Breakfast Club - A podcast by Kiri Masters

Categories:

In this episode, I draw a parallel between the diverse approaches to making bolognese sauce and the varied nature of retail media networks. Just as every cook has their unique bolognese recipe, every retail media network has its own way of managing advertising, measurement, and reporting. This variety stems from differences in business models, technology, and market positions. I discuss the challenges brands face due to this fragmented landscape, including demands for standardization in metrics and transparency. I conclude by contemplating whether embracing this variety might actually benefit the industry, much like savoring different takes on a classic dish.00:00 Introduction: The Perfect Bolognese and Retail Media01:10 Upcoming Webinar Announcement02:05 Diverse Retail Media Networks03:46 Challenges in Standardization06:18 Retailers' Perspective on Standardization09:46 Historical Context and Lessons11:52 Conclusion: Embracing Variety in Retail MediaRead the full blog post hereRegister for the Futurecommerce X Keen webinar, May 21stFollow me on LinkedIn
